WAFFLES ARE ON THE RISE

Those who have travelled to the United States will be familiar with the popularity of fresh, warm waffles. Not only is it extremely popular for Americans to make home made waffles and stack them with bacon and maple syrup for breakfast or find them drizzling them with melted chocolate, nuts and ice cream for dessert, but you also find waffles on the menus at leading hotels, restaurants, cafes and markets all across America.

Over the last year the popularity of waffles has been rising worldwide, specifically within the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The word waffle being seen on dessert menus throughout the UK was the beginning of the phenomenon and now slowly but surely we have begun to see them creep onto the breakfast menus too.

Why Chocolate Makes Us Happy

Sephra Chocolate Facts

TRYPTOPHAN
This amino acid is found in small quantities in chocolate and is used by the brain to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter that can produce feelings of happiness.

PHENYLETHYLALANINE
Promotes feelings of attraction, excitement and nervousness and is associated with the initial euphoria of falling in love. It has also been isolated in chocolate. This chemical also acts as an anti-depressant by combining with dopamine that is naturally present in the brain.

THEOBROMINE
A weak stimulant that works alongside caffeine to produce the characteristic ‘high’ that many people experience after getting their chocolate fix. Scientists at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego suggest that chocolate contains substances that produce a cannabis-like effect on the brain. But don’t get too excited – you would have to ingest more than 25 pounds of chocolate in one sitting to get ‘high’ in the same way.

ANOTHER REASON TO BE PLEASED
Scientists have confirmed that dark chocolate is beneficial for our health. The greater cocoa content provides high concentrations of antioxidants called flavonoids, which reportedly prevent cancers, protect blood vessels, promote cardiac health, and counteract high blood pressure.

Cinema Science

CFW Popcorn - a Natural Ad Blocker

Science says eating popcorn at the movies makes us immune to advertisements.

Researches at Cologne University, Germany, have discovered that snacking whilst at the cinema significantly disrupts the effectiveness of pre-movie advertising. Their findings show that whenever our brains are introduced to a new brand name we will subconsciously simulate its pronunciation. This then helps the message become engrained in our minds, which in turn benefits advertisers.

Eating popcorn whilst pre-movie adverts are showing interrupts the subconscious act of brand pronunciation and therefore reduces the adverts effectiveness.

In order to prove this theory was correct, the researchers took 96 people of mixed gender and race to the movies. Half the participants were given popcorn and the other half a sugar cube. The sugar cube dissolved quickly leaving the mouth free to move during the commercials. The popcorn however, lasted the duration of the commercials plus more.

A week following the experiment, the participants were presented with images of a series of products, of which only half had been advertised within the session. They were then asked to indicate the products, which interested them.

The participants who had received only the sugar cube showed positive physiological responses towards the advertised products. Due to their mouths being free to simulate the pronunciation of the advertised brands, the sugar cube participants had a subconscious familiarity with the product names. The participants who had received popcorn showed no such advertising effect.

In conclusion, the activity of eating popcorn disturbed the inner speech, which enables brands to remain subconsciously familiar within the brain. This therefore reduces the effects of visual advertisement.
