Alan Hirsch:
Was a combination of Good and Plenty and cucumber, although Good and Plenty and banana nut bread also had very positive effects.

Dr. Alan Hirsch, Neurological Director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation and author of the book, What's Your Food Sign, says the scent men find attractive in women….

Lavender and pumpkin pie, number two is a combination of donuts and black licorice and number three is a combination of pumpkin pie and donuts.

The point of Dr. Hirsch's research was to see if you could tell things about people based on their smell and taste preferences. And his studies show you can- chocolate for instance…

If you like milk chocolate you tend to be a more introverted, quiet, contemplative person-whereas if you prefer dark chocolate you tend to be more extroverted.

What do your pizza topping choices say about you?

Those who like more risqué toppings like odd combinations- like pineapple and onion- tend to be aggressive, achievement oriented, natural leaders, and competitive. Those who prefer just pepperoni tend to be irritable, argumentative, procrastinators. And those who like the multiple meat toppings are dramatic, seductive extroverts who like being the center of attention.

Now you might think someone whose favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla would be kind of a boring person.

We found just the opposite- people who like vanilla are lively, energetic, they're the life of the party, and they crave novelty and are anything but boring.
