Of orange juice and cheese
bohunk Started conversation Apr 30, 2000
I'm a big fan of orange food - sharp cheddar cheese, the weird insides of a Butterfinger bar, orange peppers, sweet potatoes, macaroni and "cheeze", winter squash, dreamsicles, most sherbits, Bearitoes cheese puffs, and of course, oranges.
I don't really know why I seem to prefer this particular color. Sure, other colors are quite nice; the Red group contains salsa, grenadine, and hot peppers, while White has a firm grip on such delicacies as basmati rice, almond bark, and popcorn. Greens and Yellows are also pretty doable. Black foods scare me a little, especially licorice, and Blue is just plain wrong.
I remember reading somewhere that the psychology of color/food combining has become a science (or artform?), and that certain processed foods are given certain colors to get the consumer to eat more. I'm so glad a dedicated team of researchers is working day and night to tweak the color of individual-serving pudding so that I will crave it fortnightly. (Although I do have to admit that cheese puffs need to be safety cone orange for me to eat them, and that brown M&Ms really do taste better.)
