Does music affect our wine preferences, as researchers in Scotland are saying? My guess is that this effect is being driven by differences in emotional states (i.e. different songs elicit different emotions which in turn affect sensory experience), but it’s hard to say without seeing the data. Either way, it’s fun to think about song-wine pairings. Perhaps bottles should be served with headphones and a cd player. Or, perhaps, I’ll never think about this article again.

Without reading on, what does it look like is happening here? I thought it was monks making really big candles, but I could not have been more wrong…
Instead, it is 1500 students in Leuven, Belgium gathering in Ladeuzeplein square in a attempt to break the formidable “lots of people dropping sweets into soft drinks to create an explosion” world record. According to the Telegraph article, I believe they were successful and at the very least, this picture is really cool.
