Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets Outperform All Other Sensory Experiences in Groundbreaking Indulgence Study
Participants deemed Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets the ultimate indulgence, surpassing live violin music and the premium scent of Oud
Dubai, UAE — May 2025
As part of their regional launch in the GCC, Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets, brands synonymous with indulgence, have taken a bold step into the world of science to redefine how we experience indulgence. Their mission? To measure indulgence in numbers, delivering tangible proof of their commitment to sensory delight.
In partnership with MyndPlay, pioneers in neuroscience and emotion-tracking technology, Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets embarked on a groundbreaking study that blended cutting-edge technology with timeless sensory experiences. Using EEG technology, the experiment sought to decode how the human brain reacts to refined sensory stimuli.
The Experiment: Measuring Indulgence Across the Five Senses
Participants – including some of the region's most prominent media figures and influencers such as Brianna Fade, Mohammad Ismael, Ahmad Qassem, Jad Chehayeb from Dubai TV, Alanoud Badr, Nirvana Abdul, Maryam Zehi, Mashael Jamal, Rahaf Al Harbi, and Zeynab El Helw – were guided through an immersive exploration of the five senses. Each sense was tested with meticulously curated stimuli: a private violin performance for sound, a golden skyline for sight, soft sand for touch, the rich aroma of oud for smell, and a curated coffee-tasting experience to awaken the palate. With each encounter, the EEG device recorded precise pleasure points, creating a numerical map of indulgence.
Once participants had completed these sensory experiences, they were introduced to a new and unexpected indulgence: Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets.
Blindfolded and fitted with EEG headsets, participants first unwrapped, touched, smelled, and finally tasted the creamy, nut-filled Ferrero Rocher and the delicately fragrant, coconut-encrusted Raffaello Tablets. As the blindfolds were removed, they visually absorbed the iconic golden Ferrero Rocher and the radiant, coconut-dusted Raffaello Tablets, marveling at their exquisite presentation. Reactions ranged from quiet awe to enthusiastic praise, with several participants declaring the experience 'unlike anything else.'
The Results: Setting a New Standard in Indulgence
The findings were clear and conclusive: Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets delivered the highest peak indulgence scores of any sensory experience tested. With an unprecedented level of prolonged indulgence measured at every step of the sensorial journey, the Tablets outperformed all other stimuli combined. Participants unanimously declared the Tablets as their favorite indulgent experience, with many ranking it far above even their second choice, the live violin performance.
