You'll need to turn captions on to understand it, unless you are fluent in French.

Penn & Teller did a show where they did pretty much the same thing (except I think it was KFC). Other lessoned learned: the reason fast food tastes inferior is because people tell you fast food tastes inferior; if you don't know it is fast food, it tastes fine.

One thing I noticed that P&T didn't point out was, the Wisdom of Crowds actually worked with fast food: average together everyone's guesses and they're VERY close to the number of calories. Screw up people's perceptions of "health" food and all of a sudden they're underestimating the calories.

An interesting video about the Skinner box

Quote"If we really had no right to complain about stuff because others have it worse, then by that logic, people like Michael Moore and every radio talk show host should be out of a job, and most of the northern hemisphere should be dead silent, because the only people who have a right to complain are those in Somalia, Afghanistan, Sudan, etc."
