In this segment of Good Mythical Morning, hosts Rhett and Link invite Chester and Mike from Linkin Park to participate in a scientific experiment. Oxford University conducted a study suggesting that music can affect how we taste food. The hosts and Linkin Park members tested this theory by eating snacks while listening to different music tracks. They found that louder music reduced the flavor intensity, higher pitch music enhanced sweetness, lower pitch music emphasized sourness, and faster tempo music intensified spiciness.
