At a convenience store, Allyson bought a bag of chips she had never tried before. Driving down the road, Allyson opened the bag, took a bite, and realized she had purchased pork rinds by mistake. Being a vegetarian, Allyson threw away the chips. She felt very little buyer's remorse and soon forgot about the experience. Why?

Final Answer :
Buyer's remorse or postpurchase cognitive dissonance is generally greater for products that are expensive, infrequently purchased, and involve perceived risk. None of that applies to snack food purchases.
