  1. Do people rely on colour or taste more when drinking Raro?

  2. Method First I got some raspberry Raro and made sure it was colour free. Then I put it into 5 bottles and added a couple drops of food colouring in each bottle and mixed it all up.

  3. I now had 5 bottles of raspberry-flavoured Raro, each one a different colour: red, green, yellow, blue and orange.

  4. Then I tested 7 neighbours or people who came to our house. To test them I gave them a small glass of Raro and got them to tick which flavour they thought it was. I did this once with each colour. I told them they could tick any flavour more than once.

  5. Variables What stayed the same • the drink • the answer sheets • the pens What changed • the cups (each person had their own) • the location • the person

  6. Hypothesis I predict that the colour of the Raro will not affect what flavour people believe the Raro is.

  7. Results This is what people thought the flavour of each colour was.

  8. Further results I tested 7 people. Only 1 person got it 100% correct. 60% of the time the answers were wrong (21 out of 35 tastes).

  9. Conclusion My hypothesis was wrong. It seems that people’s sense of flavour is affected by what they see as well as what they taste.

  10. Other questions It would be good to test more people to get more answers - I wanted to do more than 7 but ran out of time. The person who got the answers all right was also the only person who smelt each drink carefully. I would like to test again with people sniffing but not seeing the drink. Another experiment would be to use five different flavours of colour-free Raro without any colour added.
