I read about a study where people were given soup to eat, in various quantities, and some were given bowls rigged to be bottomless. In general, they ate until the bowls were empty - except for the bottomless bowls, where they'd eat far more than any of the other groups.
I'm drawing on a 15-20 year old memory, so that's IIRC.

- dghughes 5y agoI've heard the same about those studies. I've seen it described as three different sizes of popcorn tub or three sizes of plates. It made sense but it seems to be debunked or maybe the debunk story is not true either? In my situation it was right before my eyes and quite obvious.
