So, I just learned about this study by Wansink, Painter, & North (2005) called Bottomless bowls: why visual cues of portion size may influence intake. They inferred that people who had soup from self-refilling bowls ate more than people who had soup refilled manually. Despite having the same access to soup, the people who ate from self-refilling bowls consumed more.
This raises an extremely interesting questions regarding portion control and visual cues. Where the hell is my god damn self-refilling bowl? It's been in the 2000's for the longest time and here I am like a common chump refilling my own bowl of soup. How come science invents these devices for the sole purpose of making us feel bad and not distributing them to the masses who are in desperate need of infinite soup?
I call for a boycott of all science.

According to my research, only through self-refilling ramen bowls can you access the storied portal to the Meat Dimension.
ReplyDeleteI read that this guy in the late 70s patented his design for a refilling soup bowl, but the bigwigs at Campbells and Sargento stole the patent and then had him killed.
