Article: Here’s What You Can Do With $5

A group of students were challenged to earn money in one weekend with a measly $5. On the following Monday the students were required to do a three minute presentation on their results.

You’re Too Expensive! Yeah,…What’s Your Point?

Does price really impact how we view a product? Can price influence what we think of a product? The answer is surprisingly, yes!

Researchers at Stanford and the California Institute of Technology asked volunteers to taste five different wines with the following price labels: $90, $45, $35, $10 and $5. The results?

But wait, that was only the setup. The real ‘aha’ moment came when the volunteers were told that the $90 wine was also the same as the $10 wine ($90 = $10). And that that the $45 wine bottle was the same as the $5 dollar wine bottle ($45 = $5). Yet, the wine tasters never noticed it.

Without fail each of the wine tasters found the more expensive bottles to be the best wines. In fact, brain scans confirm that when recipients try an expensive wine, part of the pleasure centers in their brains light up. When they try less expensive wine, and they’re aware of it, their brain registers less pleasure.

In other words, the expectation based solely on the price, influences how the brain ‘chooses’ to perceive how good (or bad) the wine tastes. Price influences opinions. Price does matter! The cognitive heuristic: expensive equals good holds true.
