Just as music and lighting can influence what shoppers
buy, toning down the tunes and dimming the lights in a fast food
restaurant can help diners enjoy their meal more and eat less,
according to a U.S. study.
After transforming part of a fast food restaurant in
Illinois with milder music and lighting,researchers found that
customers ate 18% fewer calories than other people in the un-
modified part of the restaurant. "When we softened the lights
and softened the music in the restaurant it didn't change what
people ordered,but what it did was lead them to eat less and made
them more satisfied and happier," said Brian Wansink, a professor
of marketing and consumer behavior at Cornell University in
New York.
