Yogurts appear denser, and also more expensive, when eaten using a lightweight plastic spoon than when tasting them with a heavier spoon, according to a recent University of Oxford study published in the UK. specialized magazine Flavor .
Regarding the size of the cutlery, the experiments revealed that the smaller the spoon in which we take a yogurt, the sweeter its content is, something that the authors attribute to our previous expectations, since we normally take desserts with a small spoon and with a large spoon the soups and stews.
