Many of us will identify with the Spur, whose biggest market offer is being family-friendly. One of their most popular dishes are their ribs – wonderfully, delicious, succulent and saucy ribs. They even have ‘All you can eat‘ specials, promoting their ribs once a week.

So here are a few simple questions, hugely pertinent to our topic: How how many ribs would people want to eat, if theribs weren’t covered in marinade? And what makes the idea of ‘All you can eat‘ so appealing? The answers, we believe, lie in the sweetness of the marinade.

The Bliss Point
We are biologically wired with the capacity to enjoy a multitude of tastes. For each of these there is an optimal point of enjoyment.

This is our ‘Bliss Point’– the exact amount of sugar, fat or salt needed in a food to trigger an ‘I want more of that’ response.

This ‘Bliss Point’ is regulated in the appestat. Located in the hypothalamus, the appestat is the part of the brain that moderates and controls our appetite. With proper-eating habits, the appestat tells us when we’ve had enough to eat. It prevents us from over-eating, which in turn regulates digestion and hormone-secretion.

Sugars and most artificial sweeteners send distorted messages to our appestat, triggering our ‘Bliss Point’, which in turn confuses our body into thinking that we need more of what we’ve just eaten, even when we don’t.

Effectively, sugars deceive us into over-eating. This subconscious desire for more, once we’ve had our ‘Bliss Point’ tickled by something sweet, is what we call the sticky rib theory.

A lot of foods are thus manufactured with the idea to maximise their addictive potential, bringing consumers back to buy more

So does vaping sweet juice make you eat more?

More important. Does vaping sweet juice make you vape more? Is this maybe why so many people chain vape? Most people vape way more than they ever smoked?

Anyone ever had pork ribs with just salt n pepper? Was it good? Almost like vaping plain VG?
 
One of the reasons I took up vaping (other than quitting cancer sticks) was that it helped me cut down on my sugar intake, which was at a seriously unhealthy point, but vaping has been an apt replacement, the main reason being that it’s sweet.
