Kelly and Abbey are wondering why the heck they weren't called in for this study.

 "A spicy flavor was found to increase romantic interest as well as physical attractiveness ratings. It supports the suggestion that sensory experiences, in this case taste, can influence cognitive perceptions regarding potential relationships." ~ Lead researcher Jenna Miska

So fellas, if you're looking for a boost to your prettiness, just take your date to Sawatdee! Or any other spicy food place. Taco Bell might not cut it.
