Soon, you're not going to try to choke down a big bowl of broccoli or spinach, you're going to totally devour a pile of bodacious beer blazed-broccoli and sexy smokin' spinach.

According to Popular Science and the Journal of American Medical Association Internal Medicine researchers found that when the packaged vegetables featured names like "twisted citrus-glaze carrots," "dynamite chili and tangy lime-seasoned beets," and "sweet sizzlin' green beans," people were more likely to buy them and eat them.

We're less likely to buy or eat them if they're marketed as being healthy. Like, when they offered people a choice between "lighter-choice zucchini" and "slow-roasted caramelized zucchini bites," it was VERY clear which one was more popular.
