aFor desired portion size, a value of 1 refers to the recommended portion size of HED snacks and the typical portion size of SSBs. A number greater than 1 indicates the ‘desired’ portion size is greater than the recommended/typical portion, and a number smaller than 1 indicates that the ‘desired’ portion size is smaller than the recommended/typical portion.
bFrequency of consumption was measured on a 6-point Likert-style scale from once per month or never to daily. Liking was measured on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly dislike to strongly like.
cIntentions were assessed on a 5-point Likert-style scale from completely disagree to completely agree.
HED: high-energy-dense; SSB: sugar-sweetened beverage.
