5.The Crunch of Quality
The sound of fish frying or popcorn popping can rev up your appetite. And that crunch you get from potato chips can affect how they taste to you. When the crunch sound of chips was secretly raised or lowered through a pair of headphones in a study, people rated the louder chips better. Many said the “quiet” chips were stale and likely past their expiration date.
6.Music: The Perfect Ingredient
You may be able to bring out different flavors from your favorite chocolate if you change the music that plays while you eat it. In one experiment, people noticed more sweetness and creaminess in chocolate when they listened to easy-listening songs, compared to hip-hop or heavy metal. It was the same chocolate — the only thing that changed was the music.
