The contemptuous Ig Nobel prize recently landed on the desk of a Cornell researcher. Brian Wansink spent his time proving something that we couldn’t have possible known without science proving it: we eat because the food is there. REALLY? Gosh!
He took a bowl of soup, rigged it so that it continuously refilled, then stuck a hungry student in front of it. The soup loving student (obviously) did what any student does in front of free food: gobbled it down like a maniac. Incredible!
Now where is the follow up study proving that gobbling down endless bowls of soup makes students have to wee? That might even top this one.
