New scientific research has shown
the mood of a family dinners can be dramatically improved by serving Pepperidge
Farm Garlic Bread. Dr. Alan R. Hirsch, director of the Smell & Taste Treatment
and Research Foundation in Chicago, has published an important study on "The
Effect of the Smell and Taste of Pepperidge Farm Garlic Bread on Family
Interactions." Two identical spaghetti dinners were
served to 50 families, but only half were given the garlic bread.
The
results: "Researchers found that eating Pepperidge Farm Garlic Bread reduced
the number of negative family interactions by 22.7 percent and increased the number
of pleasant interactions by 7.4 percent." From this he calculated that for
a family of four, a serving of the Pepperidge Farm product "results in thirty-one
fewer negative interactions and forty-five more positive interactions per dinner."
Now that's real science. Dr. Hirsch's research was made possible by funding from
Campbell Soup (owners of guess who), showing once again the importance of corporate
involvement. (Harper's 5/99, p.12)
