Do you feel kinder when you walk into a coffee shop?
According to new research, the smell of roasting coffee and baking cookies can instigate a more charitable response from passers by when asked for help.
So next time you need a favour from a friend or need time off work, bringing a fresh coffee or a batch of cookies will probably help you more than your favourite aftershave.
Astoundingly, according to TIME, the magic of the caffeine cure doesn’t stop there. Scientists claim that women are more likely to give out their phone number after a sniff of the hot stuff.
Unfortunately coffee won’t improve your chat-up lines…
