26．Eating popcorn in the cinema may be irritating not just for fellow movie goers，but for advertisers：a group of researchers from Cologne University has concluded that chewing makes us immune to film advertising．
The reason why ads manage to imprint（刻上记号） brand names on our brains is （85）our lips and the tongue automatically simulate the pronunciation of a new name when we first hear it． （86）we re-encounter the name，our mouth subconsciously practises its pronunciation．
However，according to the study （87）（publish） in the Journal of Consumer Psychology，this "inner speech" can be disturbed by chewing， （88）（render） the repetition effect redundant．
（89）their experiment，the researchers invited a group of 96 people to a cinema to watch a movie preceded by a series of adverts．Half of the participants （90）（give） free popcorn throughout the session，the other half only received a small sugar cube （91）immediately dissolved in their mouths．
A test at the end of the screening showed that the adverts had left no effect on those viewers who had chewed their way through popcorn throughout，while the other participants showed positive psychological responses to the products they （92）（encounter） in the ads．
"The mundane activity of eating popcorn made participants immune to the pervasive effects of advertising，" said Sascha Topolinski，one of the researchers．
He goes as far as implying that his research （93）spell the end of the traditional popcorn machine in cinema foyers． "This finding suggests that selling candy in cinemas actually undermines advertising effects，which contradicts present marketing strategies．In the future，when promoting a novel brand，advertising clients might consider trying to prevent candy （94）（sell） before the main movie．"组卷：2引用：1难度：0.6
