    OK hehe but shape actually contributes a lot to the overall taste and experience of candy. My favorite reese’s used to be the peanut butter bar because it had a much better ratio of chocolate and peanut butter. Exact same ingredients, different shape, better candy. (To me.)

      Everything contributes to the experience of anything. Shape, color, texture etc. Pasta is a great example of this. A cool thing to try is to drink water from different kinds of glassware, cups, anything. Even the light in the area we’re in and our current mood has an effect.

        Pasta is a great example of this.

        When I was at university one of my friends was studying engineering and one of his assignments was to design it a new type of pasta in CAD software to maximize surface area and minimize volume or something. The result came out looking like some kind of 2D fractal, with a bunch of holes in it.

        Basically you don’t want too much pasta in your pasta.

      Agree. Plus the shape contributes too. I look forward to Snicker’s nutcrackers, for example, because the sharp corners make the bar more enjoyable to bite through.
