The crunchiness of certain foods, like candy, potato chips, or vegetables, is an important part of the enjoyment of eating yet describing the characteristics of the crunch can be difficult. For that reason, TIC Gums created "Crunch Prints," a sound library of MP3 recordings of the chewing experience of foods and a visual representation of the decibel level of each.

The audio prints below demonstrate the levels of crunch that are possible when enjoying various foods..
