A team of researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and KU Leuven were curious whether an individual’s taste experience could be influenced by music and packaging design, so they designed an experiment to test their theory.

A group of 231 participants were split into three groups. One drank their beer from a bottle with no label and no specific song in the background. Second, there was a group who drank the beer from a bottle with the beer’s specifically-designed label.
