Why Did You Buy That Drink?
The Surprising Science Behind Everyday Purchases
Why Did You Buy That Drink? unravels the fascinating science behind our everyday purchases. We all make decisions, knowingly or unknowingly, about what to buy on a daily basis. These decisions seem insignificant - they're about sodas and paper towels - but they do hide more science than is originally apparent.
This book sheds light on these hidden forces at play-from the meanings we attach to brands, the impact of timing, and how our brains filter information, to the roles our beliefs and social circles play. By diving deep into consumer research and dissecting these ordinary choices, the book invites everyday life into scientific laboratories.
Why Did You Buy That Drink? challenges you to ponder over the daily battles ultimately shaping your life. It offers eye-opening insights that are set to forever alter how you view your receipts.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
