Baked Potato
Aroma of baked potato evokes happiness, researchers found
The smell of a baked potato can actually make us feel happier. Scientists in the UK discovered that the aromas given off during the cooking process can trigger positive memories in the brain.
Findings revealed the majority of participants were uplifted by comforting childhood memories - including favourite grandparents and meals with the family.
Dr Avinash Kant, who lead the research, said the positive emotions were triggered by what is called the ‘Maillard Effect’.
