Before you check out at the Black Friday sales… check this Science Queeries episode out.
Why do we fall into a festive food coma after a big Christmas or Thanksgiving feast? Is it the turkey, the carbs, or just the emotional aftermath of spending too many hours with relatives?
Dr Cat is serving up a full Thanksgiving science spread. We’re carving into the psychology that makes Black Friday deals so irresistible. We’re turkey-ing (talking?) about whether your holiday roast really makes you sleepy and the delicious chemistry behind the Maillard reaction: the reason foods turn golden brown, smell incredible, and taste delicious.
So, before you spend more money than you intended (or indulge in enough food to send you into a food coma)…spend a little time listening to this.
Originally aired 25th November, 2025.
