How do you like your ice-cream?

Many people love ice cream especially during the summer. Everyone’s ice cream tastes are different. Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavours are the most popular ones. What would you think if you were told that your personality is hidden behind the ice cream flavour you prefer? A related research study has recently been conducted by neurologist Dr. Alan Hirsch who is the founder of the “Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation.” According to his study, the taste preference for your favourite ice cream is set in a part of your brain during childhood and it doesn’t usually change throughout your life. The same part of the brain is also responsible for personality traits. It’s scientifically proven that the ice cream you eat reveals your personality and reflects your personal attitudes.

After seeing the results of the study, Baskin Robbins- the largest chain of ice cream shops in the United States- and the ABC TV channel decided to start a partnership to publish a survey about it. Their aim for doing the survey was to see if the study’s results really reflected personality traits. Therefore “The Lookout” team from the channel got prepared: The team members were informed about the study, the ice cream van was parked on a busy street, the flavours and their meanings were printed out and the van was decorated with those print-outs. When everything was settled, they started giving out free Baskin Robbins ice cream to the people passing by. What these people had to do was to order the ice cream by stating their personality traits and not asking for their preferred flavour. While the team was giving away the free treats, they were also speaking to the people and what they found out was really interesting. Most of the people they spoke to said that the ice cream they were served according to their personality traits was actually their favourite flavour!
