Valentines day is rolling up, and here in Israel, that pretty much means it's like every other day, except there are some stores with some tacky signs. For those with a special someone they are trying to woo, the following might interest you:
"Smell evolved for finding both food and mates, and much research has
found that body odor plays a powerful role in human attraction.
Food cravings act a lot like lust in the pleasure center of the brain,
and it also mimics the neurological activity that occurs when addicts
yearn for alcohol or drugs.
In one small experiment on sexual
response to food scents, vaginal and penile blood flow was measured in
31 men and women who wore masks emitting various food aromas. This was
the study that found men susceptible to the scent of doughnuts mingled
with licorice. For women, first place for most arousing was a tie
between baby powder and the combination of Good & Plenty candy with
cucumber. Coming in second was a combination of Good & Plenty and
banana nut bread."

I would love to know all the different food combinations that they tested.
