Does the colour of a glass affect the perception of the drink within it?
Posted by Chris @ 9:18 pm
At work they have refilled the water cooler with plastic cups tinged a slight blue, rather than the clear cups we've normally had. This resulted in a strange sensation for me because as I started to drink from this blue beverage holder, I had the feeling that the water tasted, seemed, looked, a bit better than usual.
Of course, it wasn't, it is the same water as usual. I threw this out to the office, and they came back with, yeah, the blue tinge could make a difference. So I decided I'd also throw this out to the Yahoo! Answers community.

As usual the mix of answers is intriguing to say the least, and I think we've all learnt something today.

As pixel space is a resuable resource Im going to waste some more with a little more ranting as Im still concerned about web users health and social skills.A prime example is xxxcariooo who commented on the Yahoo Q&A who made a point of saying how much time she spends deciding what type of glass and ice to use with each drink.
By the time she's made these decisions the glass has probably faded back to clear and the ice melted anyhow!?! GET OUT MORE FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!!
