Even when someone finds out how they have been programmed, many don’t care.

A Philippine candy brand called Kopiko sent doctors candy to give away to pregnant mothers as a marketing strategy and rolled out a coffee product a year later that tasted the same ….it was a hit with their kids so much that it became the third-largest brand in the nation.

As it turns out, the menu of a pregnant woman not only tunes the fetal’s senses to certain smells and tastes, but also physically transforms the fetal brain, creating a predisposition in the child for certain taste preferences. 

This largely explains the results of studies that have shown that if the mother ate a lot of food with garlic or vanilla flavor in the last three months of pregnancy, the newborn prefers milk that smells like garlic or vanilla over any other. 

Companies not only know this, but use this knowledge to their advantage. Kopiko, a popular, successful brand of candy in the Philippines, sold in every family shop in every Philippine city, has found a way to conquer the taste buds of unborn babies.

Wholesalers of this brand openly supply obstetricians and other doctors with Kopiko candies to distribute to pregnant women and women in labor in maternity wards.

Months later, it rolled out a coffee product which tasted just like the candy, which became hugely successful with kids. Lindstrom says that mothers would even give agitated newborn babies the coffee, which quickly calmed them down. Four years later, Kopiko coffee has become the third-largest brand in the Philippines.

When JACK NICHOLSON won a BAFTA for Chinatown, he accepted the award from the set of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. One of the great acceptance speeches.

The Colorado shooter’s dad on finding out his son murdered people: “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew… I am a conservative Republican.” (@CBS8)

Sad that Andy Murray got knocked out of Wimbledon.
Even sadder for his Grandad who was looking forward to another few days living in Andy's bag.

Medical students at a university in Sumy, Ukraine, saw their school become a war zone overnight. They have no way to travel home and are hoping that authorities can create a safe corridor for them to evacuate.
