Name Changer
By:Ahmed Kadar
Question,Matierials,and Procedure
I wanted to figure out if the name of something affects the taste of it,and so I obtained some of the following:
1.2 closed off cups
2.2 straws
3.A drink
4.2 different names
And then I started the investigation.
1.Get a group of people
2.Have them go to a seperate room and taste both drinks.
3.Have them say which one they liked most,and record in journal
4.Repeat process for whole group one by one.
Variables
Controlled Variables:Straws,Cups,Room,Drink
Independent Variable:The name of the drinks
Dependent Variable:The drinks themselves
Results and Conclusion
After 5 or 6 tries we checked our results and out of Orange with Citrus and Orange Blast,Orange Blast had the most votes.So I guess it depends on how you think,and if you think different names appeal differently.
Research
These are two things from my research that I want to share:
1.There are 7 ways to change the taste of something,but none were name.
From www.PopSci.com (I think)
2.I saw a diagram of the different parts of the Tounge and what each part tastes
Ex:The front could taste sweet things while the back tastes sour things.
