Restaurants in the UK determine the prices of their dishes according to how long the names of the dishes are, writes the Daily Mail. This conclusion was made by Professor Dan Gurafski, a linguist at Stanford University who conducted a study on the subject.
He has reviewed over 6,500 menus. It turns out that each additional letter that is added to the name of a dish adds to the final price of $ 0.18.
The professor claims that it often happens that people pay not so much for an impressive and unique dish as for its impressive name.
Gurafski draws another conclusion - expensive and luxurious restaurants have a very limited number of dishes, but at the same time all their dishes have quite long names.
The professor thinks that this practice of restaurateurs is to convince their customers to pay more, although there is not much choice in the menu. In fact, restaurants try to impress their customers, but not with some who knows how exquisite in taste and type of dishes, but rather with twisted and long names.
The American professor believes that restaurateurs try to impress their customers by only emphasizing the sophistication of their dishes on the menu, but in fact the food is not very sophisticated.
In conclusion, the professor from Stanford University explains that in fast food restaurants the dishes have quite short names and are much cheaper than the food in the restaurants.
According to Professor Brian Wansink, the choice of dish depends on where we sit in the restaurant. Professor Wansink is the author of Slim By Design.
He claims that people who sit at the lighter tables in the restaurant, as well as those who sit at high tables, make significantly healthier food choices than other visitors.
According to the professor, it also matters how close the table is to the TV in the restaurant - those who sit next to the TV, more often order fried food.
It also turns out that people who have chosen to sit as far away from the front door of the restaurant as possible rarely order a salad.
