Located at Millenia Walk, Singapore, Chocolate Research Facility claim to be the world’s first with their boutique/cafe offering 100 different flavours of chocolate bars.

crf9I’m not sure if they’re correct in claiming world first status but certainly there an an awful lot of chocolates and they’re not bad tasting either.  The chocolates are designed in series with 10 different series to date, each carrying a distinctly different style of packaging :  Classic, Exotic, Tea, Coffee, Alcohol, Fruit, Double Fruit, to name but a few.  Then you get to choose whether you want that flavour  in milk, white or sugar-free chocolate from Germany, Belgium or Switzerland. Prices are around S$10 a block so not cheap but not expensive either and its easy to find excuses to buy a few blocks.

A cafe is also part of the chocolate shop where they sell chocolate inspired dishes though frankly they’re miminal and really its all about the chocolate bars.

The Illusion of Knowledge: How Repetition Shapes Our Beliefs

The Illusion of Knowledge: How Repetition Shapes Our Beliefs

Our beliefs can be easily influenced by repetition. A recent study published in Cognition reveals how repeated exposure to statements can create an illusion of knowledge, making us believe we knew the information all along. This “truth effect” exploits our brain’s processing fluency, leading us to trust familiar information more, regardless of its accuracy. In a digital age rife with misinformation, understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for making informed decisions and resisting false beliefs. Discover how repetition shapes our perceptions and what we can do to combat the illusion of knowledge.
