The Gratitude × Cake “Double Effect” (Psych + Senses)
Pairing grateful words with a sensory experience (taste, aroma, visual) reinforces the emotion and cements the memory. Social and consumer research support the idea that shared food and thoughtful gifting are sticky signals of care that people remember and reciprocate.
