The same is true for snack chips
This reminds me of the talk I heard twenty years ago by a former worker for a snack chip company. The research team knew how to trigger appetite and saliva production with salty/acid taste. The fat in a chip is something the human body can't register and send the full signal. (Only carbohydrate and protein signal-'full'). The mouth 'drama' of a chip being crunch and dissolving with a few chews is actually a positive reinforcer to eat more chips. Betcha can't eat just one is a scientifically designed chip that is made deliberately to get people to eat more by triggering all of the pleasures of eating possible and bypassing all of the body's ability to say 'I have had enough'. The company puts the well-being of its consumers aside, and hijacks their psychology and biology of eating, for a profit.
