Experiments prove that the colour of a drink affects our perception of its sweetness for example. Altering the sound of the food, say adjusting the high-end&nbsp;frequencies&nbsp;while eating crisps can also affect our perception of the crunchiness of those crisps [<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/j.1745-459x.2004.080403.x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see the paper here<\/a>. Playing with these assumptions and expectations&nbsp;can create&nbsp;heightened food experiences.
