Thinking- what's the big deal which color my mug is? Well, the color of your cup can make the drink!
Researchers in Spain and England asked 57 participants to taste hot chocolate in white, red, orange and cream colored plastic cups. Their results, published in the Journal of Sensory Studies, found that volunteers preferred the hot drink in orange or cream cups.
Researchers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the University of Oxford prepared hot chocolate in four differently colored cups- red, white, orange and cream- and gave it to 57 lucky subjects, who reported a better taste from the latter two colors.
So what color is your morning mug? If you didn't say orange, your java was so-so.
