Sixty years ago, a peppy group of anthropomorphic junk food snacks sweetly held hands and took a rather bouncy stroll up the aisles of an old movie theater, singing "let's all go to the lobby, to get ourselves a treat!" Little did they know (or perhaps they did) they were on the menu. Back then, popcorn and candy were bringing in lot of revenue for theaters, so exhibitors installed new counters and stations to present and sell them. The famous animation, now preserved by the Library of Congress in the National Film Registry, was commissioned to get customers to come by and check them out.

A recent study conducted by the AARP Foundation and the International Food Information Council Foundation surveyed consumers ages 50-80 to uncover insights about the shopping habits and dietary preferences of older Americans. The older generation wants to make smart, healthy choices, but they may be basing their decisions on out-of-date information they followed when they were young, which mostly promoted a grain-based, low-fat regime.

To better understand the power of pizza, DIGIORNO conducted a social experiment that measured its effect on the moods of partygoers. While most would think it's the first bite that elevates the mood, the study revealed that partygoers were actually happiest when smelling the aroma of pizza baking in the oven.
To conduct this experiment, DIGIORNO recruited real people to host friends and family for a pizza party at a Manhattan loft. During three separate parties, the room was set up with more than 40 high-resolution cameras that captured footage of guests while pizza baked in the oven and after it was served.
