This study also seems to view society agrees that people who like sweet foods (like candy or chocolate cake) is more fun or love to help people in need.

"These results are surprising. The people are helpful and friendly are considered 'sweet' because the sense seems to have little in common with the personality or behavior. New psychological theories led us hypothesize that these equations do not seem dangerous and can be used to add insight into the personality and behavior, "said Meier.

"Our results suggest there is a strong relationship between sweetness and helpful behavior. These findings reveal that the metaphor can lead to a unique and provocative predictions about the behavior and personality," said the researcher, Michael D. Robinson, professor of psychology at North Dakota State University.
