What's Wrong With This Photo? Fast Food Literacy Study
The investigators aim to discover if people of different demographic levels are more or less
attentive to changes in calorie information vs. changes in price information on a restaurant
menu. The investigators will record whether the calorie/price change was noticed or not, as
well as how quickly the calorie/price change was noticed, depending on condition and
individual differences.

Participants complete a short study regarding their ability to detect "mistakes" in a
printed version of a fast food restaurant menu. We ask participants to identify the
differences between the menu board and a typical menu board at that location. Individuals
list the differences that they find and have a chance to win a prize if they identify the
most mistakes among participants recruited that day. The differences created will remain
constant (e.g., featuring Pepsi products instead of the typical Coca-Cola offerings,
including items from other restaurants on the menu), including changes to calorie labels and
price labels. Additionally, we recruit participants in a variety of locations to test for
differences between demographics (e.g., income groups, education levels, and BMI levels).
