Conditioned Food Preferences

 Mere exposure effect is when repeated food tastings increases the liking for that food. When there are positive reactions from our body due to the food we are consuming it increases the likeness of it as opposed to a negative consequence which may cause us to start to dislike a food. For example I know someone who has grown to dislike the popular drink Sunny D, the reason for this was because every time he drank Sunny D he felt nauseous. This negative consequence caused him to stop drinking it overall. Another example is energy drinks, people tend to drink and get addicted to energy drinks not only because of the caffeine it contains which is addictive but also because it gives people energy to move throughout their day and gives them that boost they needed. So not only does it taste good but the positive consequence of drinking energy drinks increases the likeness
