When you’re hungry, you’re not yourself. So say the good people at Snickers and it turns out science backs it up. Being hangry is a verifiable thing, we’re just not quite sure yet what’s going on.
In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the science behind "hangry" – that very real phenomenon where hunger actually triggers anger and hostility. They explore the physiological mechanisms at play, including how low blood sugar depletes self-control and disrupts important hormones like serotonin while ramping up stress hormones like cortisol. The guys break down several studies that measured hangry behavior, from the hilariously grim voodoo doll experiment to simple emotion tracking apps, all pointing to one conclusion: hunger genuinely makes us meaner, though being self-aware about it can actually help us keep our cool.
