1. Question
Does the colour of the food
or drink influence how we
feel about it, and does that
effect what we choose?

2. Hypothesis/ What I think
• I think the food or drink that is the
most colourful will be more popular
than the plain. I think people think
that the more attractive the colour is,
the more appealing and tastier the
food/drink is.

3. Why I chose this Question
• I chose this question because when I go to
Parties the drinks and food is REALLY
colourful and it makes me more tempted,
so I’m testing people to see if they choose
the food or drink because of the colour.

4. Test Materials
FAIRY BREAD APPLE
• Green
• 100’s and 1000’s sprinkles
• Red
• 8 slices of bread
• Yellow
• Butter
• 2 type (redy yellow orange)
• 1tub
DRINK
• knife
• Raro sachet 1
• Water (cold)
• 2 bottles
• 13 shot sample cup

5. Test Method
• First you get 4 slices of bread and put butter on the 4 slices.
Fairy • Next put 100’s and 1000’s on the slices with butter.
Bread • Thirdly get 4 other slices and put butter on them, then don’t put
sprinkles on them.
• After you have done that then get some class mates and give
them a little sample and see what they choose.
Drink • Put water in the 2 bottles.
• Next add the sachet and put in ONE bottle with water.
• Stir/shake.
• Get some class mates and say what drink do you chose then say
why did you chose that.
• First lay the 4 apples on a flat surface
Apple
• Next get some class mates and tell them what colour apple do
you chose.

6. • I decide to test 3 things- Food- Bread,
Drink-Cordial and water and a fruit-apple

7. Result
12 people decided they would have the color sample and 1 person
Fairy bread
wanted the plain sample so that tell’s me that the most popular is
the colored sample.
When I asked them why they chose the coloured Fairy Bread 8
people said because it was bright and colourful
Drink 11 people chose the coloured drink and 2 people wanted the plain drink.
The most popular apple colour was the mixed coloured (reddy/orange/
Apple yellow apple and the green apple the ticks were 5 for both apples ,2 people
chose the red apple ,1 person chose the yellow apple.

8. Conclusion
• My Hypothesis was correct, most of the children,
selected the coloured samples and said for their
reason : It was colourful, bright and interesting.
• My answer is that the children WERE influenced by
the colour food/drink.

9. Future Action
Adding healthy but still colourful food and drinks to party
food. Maybe the children will select the healthy but
colourful food/drinks.
