00:00who loves french fries me yum i mean like just the best the best food right and is there anything
00:06better than a french fry that you've stolen off your partner's plate no it was so much better it
00:13does yeah and and that is actually backed by science really we now know for a fact that eating
00:19food off of someone else's plate stealing food from someone else tastes better than if it had
00:26just been on your plate to begin with that's fascinating and i asked shannon to come in here
00:31to talk about this because shannon and her boyfriend sam do something unusual i mean i think
00:38it's unusual but i'm sure there are a lot of people who do it so maybe it's not that unusual
00:42when you
00:43guys go out for dinner yeah we split our meals um uh you know i'll order something and he orders
00:50something but we kind of agree to order those two things we'll eat a little bit of it and then
00:55switch
00:55plates now if we're really lucky this happened one time at a restaurant and it blew our minds
01:02they separated the meal for us we're like we're gonna split the steak and salad and they put it on
01:10two separate plates for us so we didn't have to like okay i'll eat a little bit of this and
01:15it was
01:15like equally split right down the middle i could eat as much as i want he could that's a 30
01:20tip right
01:21there baby it's a beautiful idea i i just feel like though if i start my meal and i really
01:28like
01:28it i'm gonna have a hard time only eating half of it and then passing it across the table that
01:34can be
01:34the hard part because emily and i do the same thing she'll usually get a salad and i'll get like
01:39a
01:39chicken sandwich or a burger or something like that and then we will split halfway through now what
01:44are you more likely going to want to eat the entire thing the heartier meal like what i got versus
01:49like eating a whole big entree salad so i run into the issue like you're saying all the time
01:54andy where i'm like well i know i don't want to eat lettuce i don't right i want to finish
01:58this juicy
01:59burger yeah but i came into an agreement on april 30th 2022 when i married that woman i've done it
02:06before i've shared but uh just like joey tribiani said in friends joey doesn't share food no so yeah
02:13no but i'll bet that the french fries that you steal from his plate tastes better than anyone
02:17else's yeah and and there would be more fun it's like the forbidden fruit i mean the story is all
02:23this time you want what other people have of course maybe i didn't want french fries before but when i
02:27see him piping hot on your plate i'm gonna go are you ever i mean look some restaurants give you
02:35way too many french fries and i'm sure some people do finish their plate but i'm like oh my god
02:40i'm
02:41overwhelmed by how many french fries are on this plate so it's nice taking that from someone else's
02:45plate knowing i don't have to finish it i can just enjoy one fry at a time yeah they say
02:51that it's
02:51it's actually the sneakiness of it of stealing it actually does something it changes perceptors in your
02:58brain so that it does taste differently than if those fries were on your own dish i just want to
03:03set
03:03the record straight shan i understand what you're saying but i've never felt that a restaurant gave me
03:08too many fries i look at that as something to accomplish and i always win i always bring them
03:14home even though i know i'm not gonna go back and eat those you can't reheat it is my grandmother
03:20she's she tells me in my head she's like hey take everything home yeah yeah get home well eat it
03:26in
03:26the car at least right i just we always bring french fries home they sit in the fridge for one
03:31day and i'm
03:31like what why are they here you're never gonna yeah worse
03:35you
