I'm an experimentalist at heart, so when my partner and I wondered whether our rats preferred red or green grapes, we decided to test it. Do you have a prediction about rats preference for red grapes over green grapes? What is your preference (second poll) below and images too.

Two bowls with equal amounts of red and green grapes is how we started the evening. Will share later the results!

@MichaelJBernstein I voted red grapes and then had to google it...not that color is the only factor but I didn't know that rats have trouble seeing red?

@MichaelJBernstein It did occur to me as a consumer behavior person, that the question mark on the green grapes option might influence your results :)

@uma_karma OMG! I totally missed that typo on my part. I could imagine a huge affect but unlike Twitter, I can edit my post and it's fixed now!

@MichaelJBernstein I cannot express how many studies I have with analogous typos - may we all have the chance at the grace of the edit button here!

@uma_karma OH NO!!! Editing the poll seems to have reset the answers back to 0 for votes! Learning things new every day on this site!

@MichaelJBernstein Oh, I'm so sorry, should have held back until data collection "completed"

@uma_karma No need to apologize! True research is messy! This is how we learn.

Though I'll never get that grant now.... ;-)
