The objective of this study was to test whether unfamiliar flavors experienced immediately prior to testing improve performance.  Computer science majors in CS321 Programming in C were recruited and given either familiar or novel flavored candy 10 minutes before performing time-limited programming tasks.  Familiar flavor A was associated with higher percentages of correctly completed programs than familiar flavor B or either novel flavor tested (p < 0.01; ANOVA, n = 12).  No differences were observed in the perceived pleasantness of the flavors tested. We conclude that familiar flavor A has a neurological effect that improves this specific type of problem solving.
