Is the last chocolate in the box the best?
A new study has found that people enjoy the last chocolate in a box the most.
The study asked a group of men and women to try small chocolates of different flavours.
The flavours were given out to people in different orders, but some were told when it would be their last chocolate, whilst others weren't warned.
At the end, everyone was asked to name their favourite. 66 per cent of the time, the people who knew which chocolate was their last said that that one gave them the most enjoyment.
Psychologists explained that knowing that something is about to end makes us enjoy it more.

I don't think so, because the last one is usually the flavour no-one else wants. in my family this is usually a coconut one or a nutty one, which is fortunate as I like them!

I dont actually think that was a suprise, as I always love eating the last one, and I know many people who do as well!

I think it might be 50% coincidence!

I don't think that the last chocolate in the box is the best because usually you pick the nicest one first. It's probably just coincidence.

I think that is true because the last thing you do you get the most enjoyment out of for example you are in a swimming race and you have now finished the race the last thing the judges do are announcing the results you come first. Think about it or you have just finished a science test you got a really good mark at the end of the lesson, think about it again. But also you don't know what you have until it si gone.
