Why do people choose one product over another

I was reading an interesting article in the Irish Examiner where Kehlan Kirwan, Producer & Content Creator - RedEye Media had a conversation with Prof John Sheridan from UCD. They discussed why Barbie Dolls have consistently sold well down the years. Kirwan response was “Girls like dolls,” but Prof Sheridan thought differently and replied. “No. It’s because everything that goes into making up Barbie doll range – the cars, houses and clothes – has some sort of luminous colour to them. They catch the eye.”

What are Apricot Kernels and why would people eat them?

Information available online suggests that bitter apricot kernels can be used as an alternative cancer therapy and products (kernels and powdered kernels) are freely available for sale. The sale of bitter apricot kernels or raw bitter almonds, when accompanied by medicinal claims, is illegal in the Republic of Ireland (under the medicines legislation). Despite this, these products are being sold on the internet and through other sources. These sources may recommend consumption of bitter apricot kernels and almonds at very high quantities, which can lead to considerable exposure to cyanide and consequent cyanide poisoning.
