This Song Literally Makes Chocolate Taste Sweeter, Says Science

What if your favourite chocolate bar could taste even better, just by pressing play on the right song? According to scientists, it can.

Dr. Natalie Hyacinth, a researcher at the University of Bristol, has been exploring how sound influences taste through something called multi sensory integration. Her work shows that music from pitch to tempo can trick your brain into perceiving flavours more intensely. High notes make food taste sweeter, while certain tones can even smooth out the texture in your mouth.

Enter Sweetest Melody: a 90-second track commissioned by Galaxy Chocolate, designed specifically to melt on your ears while the chocolate melts on your tongue. Set at a silky 78 beats per minute, the song blends piano notes for sweetness, strings for silkiness, and harp tones for a smooth finish. The result? Dessert becomes a full on symphony.

It’s part science, part art and totally delicious. So next time you reach for a slab of chocolate, try pairing it with the Sweetest Melody experience. Your taste buds might just thank you.
