Trained hypnotist Rory Z Fulcher said: “In order to change the taste perceptions of our participants, I’ll be using hypnotherapy techniques. These are used to create positive, measurable changes in thoughts, behaviours and habits.”

He added: “In order to take part, our participants have to want to be hypnotised because hypnosis is a self-generated state, which means if someone doesn’t want to be hypnotised, then it’s highly unlikely they’ll go into a hypnotic state.”
The Twitterverse seemed keen to by hypnotised into liking the spread, with one asking the brand to “take my mind”.
I love it. But I wish I hated it, just so I could be subjected to mind control and relove it again. Please Marmite, just take my mind.
