As always super interesting!

About choice overload the book "Gastrophysics: the new science of eating" says that restaurant menu should have no more than 7 options for each category, so.... 7 is the perfect food number!

Did not know about that.

7 is the magic number then!

Some very interesting 'snacks' also based on science. This is how I would describe these tips, which I especially appreciated in the way you told them. The theme of the overload of choices is one of the most important for me: from small services to large companies, emphasis must always be placed on helping the most undecided consumers to choose, or to recommend an option in line with their tastes or desires .

Thanks Riccardo!

I really like the "snacks" bit. Indeed, they are some sort of "cultural snacks".

Choice overload generated because of the dogma of infinite selection.

Companies thought that offering infinite options would help customers make a decision, while it might be the exact opposite.

Fortunately, many have understood their mistakes and correcting it!
