Study Explains Science of Crunchy Foods<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Even strong-willed individuals can’t eat just one chip. Although the snack’s high salt and fat content make them irresistible, researchers found another reason it’s so easy to devour a bag of sour cream and onion spuds\u2013and it has nothing to do with taste. People are more likely to eat more chips when they’re labeled “crunchy,” according to a study.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scientists found that study participants consumed more chips and candy while watching a movie when their snack bags were labeled as crunchy. They also discovered it takes more than just good marketing to make people overeat. People also consumed more chips from their “crunchy” labeled bags when they weren’t distracted by wearing headphones and better able to hear the sound of their snacks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Essentially telling you that something is crunchy makes you pay attention to the sounds of your food, which increases enjoyment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Today Is Administrative Professionals Day <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Today is the day formerly known as Secretaries Day . . . now known by its more politically correct and convoluted name:\u00a0 Administrative Professionals Day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So will your company do anything for its administrative professionals today?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well . . . 20% of managers say nope, we’re good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The rest will do SOMETHING . . . although exactly what is all over the place.\u00a0 Check it out<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0_________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n WEDNESDAY APRIL 24TH<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [77] Barbra Streisand, actress\/singer<\/p>\n [55] Cedric the Entertainer<\/p>\n [37] Kelly Clarkson, singer<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Boston\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Toronto\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Bruins win 4-3 move on to host Columbus)<\/p>\n San Jose\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Las Vegas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4 (OT)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (SJ wins 4-3 move on to host Colorado)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MLB<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n SF\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Toronto \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6<\/p>\n Detroit\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boston\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NBA<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Toronto\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 115\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Orlando\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 96\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Raptors win series 4 \u2013 1)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BROOKS & DUNN CONSIDERING NEW STUDIO ALBUM\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Brooks & Dunn<\/strong>\u00a0are riding high at the top of the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Country Albums chart this week with\u00a0Reboot<\/em>, their first collaborative project in several years.
