shopping is not as simple as you think! there are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. health foods are packages in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. ice cream packets are often blue and expensive foods, like chocolates, are gold and silver.
