Meet on the ground floor of QNC, on or near the gray slab benches at 7:20ish, and a regular will let everyone into a room in IQC for 7:30 pm. You can see the precise location on plus.codes. The benches are near the Ring Road entrance, and across the hall from an orange-tinted lab space.

This week, we will be doing taste tests!
Bring 2 - 4 versions of a food or drink from brands of different price tiers, in cryptically labelled containers (I suggest abstract shapes, with randomised shape-to-brand assignments). Once everyone has tried them and each person has decided on a ranking, reveal the brands and prices. Were the more expensive foods actually better? Were there any hidden gems? How much variation is there in different people's rankings?
Please keep it lacto-vegetarian for broader accessibility. Vegan is a plus but not required.
