You see, the color of your food surprisingly enough affects what your brain believes it tastes like.
For example, this blue lollipop might be Strawberry flavored, but your brain will believe it's Blue Raspberry flavored, due to the color.
Studies report that the majority of people guessed the flavor of gummy bears wrong when they were completely clear, but were more accurate when they had been blind folded.
Your brain actually tricks your body into tasting different flavors due to the color of your food, and it doesn't stop there.
Just being TOLD that something is a specific flavor can just make your body believe that something is that flavor.
