Radboud Scientists Trick Humans with Fake Sugar

Scientists found that humans enjoy drinks way more if you just lie and say there is real sugar in them. This confirms what I have known for years: your 'refined palate' is just a series of mental glitches and a desperate need to feel fancy. You are not enjoying the drink; you are enjoying the placebo of being a high-maintenance consumer. Next time you see me eating a shoe, just tell yourself it is a prime rib and join the club.
