excellent article on the science behind junk food:

To get a better feel for their work, I called on Steven Witherly, a food scientist who wrote a fascinating guide for industry insiders titled, “Why Humans Like Junk Food.” I brought him two shopping bags filled with a variety of chips to taste. He zeroed right in on the Cheetos. “This,” Witherly said, “is one of the most marvelously constructed foods on the planet, in terms of pure pleasure.” He ticked off a dozen attributes of the Cheetos that make the brain say more. But the one he focused on most was the puff’s uncanny ability to melt in the mouth. “It’s called vanishing caloric density,” Witherly said. “If something melts down quickly, your brain thinks that there’s no calories in it . . . you can just keep eating it forever.”

my sister works at pepsi and she has told me stuff of similar ilk

How do you measure satisfying crunch and pleasing mouth feel?

its not strictly empirical, but (and im spit-balling here) they probably just ask how much the respondents liked it from a scale of one to ten and tabulated all the results

Chipotle is nice too. That's a place where I won't feel as guilty after eating since it seems pretty healthy.

salmon live in the ocean and when they get ready to mate they migrate to fresh water. One of few fish that can live in salt and fresh water.
