Package and container shapes can make us pour and consume more than we think. When observing shapes, people tend to focus more on height then width. As a result, they tend to overestimate how much is in a tall, slender container. Because they also underestimate how much is in a short, wide container, they pour more to compensate. It's always best to measure servings. A short, wide glass that holds more than 8 ounces could help us drink more water daily. A taller, slender glass can work as a more satisfying choice for liquids with calories because we would consume less while visually tricking our minds into thinking we are drinking more.
BOTTOMS UP you all.
