Sample answer
“At my previous job at a local frozen yogurt shop, I noticed a rising trend in tropical flavors. I decided to create a pineapple-coconut swirl. I sourced fresh, local ingredients and experimented with different ratios. After testing it with a small group of regular customers, the flavor received rave reviews. Once launched, it became one of our top-selling flavors, increasing sales by 20% during the summer months.”
