Chip Reynolds

Chip Reynolds is a Cal State grad and Hoot’s junior marketing intern. He writes the Consumer Snack Index for the Bureau of Snack Statistics, covering what Hoot users are logging, which foods are having a moment, and whatever is going on with fiber.

“They asked me to find a few interesting food trends. I made it a whole report. I think that’s initiative.”

He’s not a nutrition expert. He’s figuring it out alongside everyone else, asking questions and getting slightly more invested in soup season than the assignment requires.

Chip’s goal is to make food a little easier to understand without making anyone feel bad about lunch. His other goal is to get “junior” removed from his title.
