In the article Dr. Wansink speaks about his studies concerning various groups of people, who were given different sizes of food, at different locations and how they reacted to the food.
For example:
- He gave moviegoers, who had just eaten dinner, either a big bag or a small bag of stale popcorn. Those given the big bag ate 34% more.
- He put clear glass dishes of candy either on a secretaries desk or 6 feet away on a cabinet. The secretaries consumed 125 more calories from candy when it was on their desk.
- He did a study with 60 graduate students just before winter break. He gave them a lecture on external eating cues in which he specifically told them that they would eat more from a big bowl of Chex Mix than from a small bowl. After winter break he invited those same students to a Super Bowl party and divided them into two rooms and gave them either large or small bowls of Chex mix. The ones given the large bowls ate 53% more!
