Food Theory: Can Chocolate Make You Fall In LOVE?

Thanks to Honey for sponsoring today’s video!

Loyal Theorists, it is the season of love!  With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I wanted to explore one love related "myth". Today I want to find out if aphrodisiacs REALLY work. The science of this has always been fascinating and what better time to dive into love that now? Get ready to make a last minute menu change, Theorists, as we figure out what is the TRUE food of LOVE!

“Nothing is sexier than saving money.” No, no, hes got a point.

Mat: "works everytime!"

Me: "how many times do you need a love potion?"

[comicsans]

i hate how clean that transition into honey was, like, it was so seemless, and beautiful

[zoycam]

Most male romance youtubers: Be aggressive/mean, show you’re the alpha male, with hold affection and gifts
MatPat: Do literally the opposite and have a dog, according to science

[SamanthaLaurier]

"Let's see what SCIENCE has to say about this!"
*Shows Kronk and Yzma*
Seems legit

[serenum.tea.]

“Are aphrodisiacs real?”

Thousands of fan fiction writers start sweating

THE SEXIEST PART OF THIS VIDEO WAS THE IMPOSSIBLY SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM THE END OF THE VIDEO INTO THE HONEY SPONSOR

[jmky]

in conclusion, if you want a girlfriend, wear red, get a dog, learn how to cook, and get honey.

[ratatata]

The only thing smoother than chocolate syrup, is Matpat's transitions.

“sugar causes anger”

Me: *no wonder I get mad easily-*

[WHYGODWHYYYY]

Fun fact: Dogs and people share oxytocin when they look into each other's eyes. Cats and people share oxytocin when people pet them. 🥺❤ I find that so cute!

[cybermarb]

“Women are three times more likely to give their number to a guy if he has a dog.”

Everyone is more likely to do anything if there’s a cute soft animal involved

[REALBeezle]

MatPat: "and tiger pen*s"
Me: *"excuse me W H A T"*

[Mars-tywt]

The “does it even have FDA approval” 😂😂

[elbozo]

this is mattpats way of saying “well gamers you failed at real dating, you failed at dating sims, now the only way you can find love is by actually altering the chemicals in her body”

[harvestkitty]

For those as curious as me: the binary translates to ‘Valentine’s Day Easter Egg’.

[benedictwhite]

We all got to appreciate how MatPat is one of the smartest people on this entire platform and still makes his videos fun

The internet: Pecans are aphrodisiacs!

Me who has a pecan allergy: Ah yes, allergic reactions, how romantic.
