It's hard to imagine going through a whole day without eating at least one of our favorite food brands. No matter where you are in the world.

Our food preferences are influenced by dozens of factors including genetics environment and habit. But the taste is also about perception. The color texture and weight of food are as important as the flavor.

Today we're familiar with so many food brands that we no longer need to be convinced to buy many of them. But at one point each and every one of them had to come up with a plan to get us to try them.

With every single bite or sip that we take we are participating in the oldest and one of the most complex and sophisticated journey's around the world ever taken.

Food brands have traveled around the world for as long as humans have. But it doesn't just visit. It sticks around and changes the place. It doesn't need a passport or a visa just some welcoming taste buds.
