Don’t forget the impact of marketing on psychology.

It has been repeatedly shown in experiments that more expensive food tastes better, even if it’s the exactly (and I mean exactly) the same food. Same with premium brand versus off-brand food.

BTW a similar effect has been found with the effect of painkillers: expensive/branded works better, even if it’s the exactly the same product.
