Peihua Jiang who is another researcher from Monell added, “We are a bit surprised. However, given the anecdotal evidence that they like apple, sweet potato and so on in captivity, we are not completely surprised,”


Experiments were undergone by the 
researchers to test this theory out. The
pandas were given two 
bowls of liquid. One of it was filled with plain water and the other was filled with mixed sugar solutions. The experiment showed that the pandas emptied the bowls that were filled with mixed solutions.

#20 Failure drives to aggressive video gamers

Researchers have found that when a person is facing failure, they turn to video games. People who are under distress of failure will turn aggressive and have no control over what they are doing. 

"Any player who has thrown down a remote control after losing an electronic game can relate to the intense feelings or anger failure can cause," said lead author Andrew Przybylski

An experiment was conducted to conclude whether or not people get aggressive by just playing video games. Participants are suppose to dip their hands into a bowl of cold water and later play simple and challenging levels of a Tetris game. They were given a time of 10 seconds to complete the challenging level and through this experiment, researchers have found out when the participants could not complete it within the time limit, they were frustrated of the fact they could not do it. This led the participants to throw a tantrum and become aggressive.
