You Learn Something New Every Day

Day 16

During a study in which subjects were given different priced glasses of wine (which unbeknownst to the drinker were identical) the test subjects not only said they enjoyed the more expensive wine more, but MRI brain scans actually showed that they did in fact experience more pleasure from the more expensive wine despite it being identical to the cheaper.

The old adage says, "you learn something new every day", and so to ensure that I do, for one year, I will post something 'new' that I've learnt each day right here!

If you want to make sure you learn something new too then subscribe via the RSS feed or simply check back daily. New posts will be published at 1am (GMT).
