If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple —

eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly

trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.

During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both

sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised

on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.

The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others

who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlight-

ing the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of

experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.

In a test, participants were told to watch TV— where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.

The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the

TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.

The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start. ”
