Optical Illusion of The Day: The Portion Size Optical Illusion

Here’s an easy question for all of you – check the plates below and see if you can tell which plate contains the biggest portion of food? Are you sure you have picked the right plate? Think about it before you proceed reading the answer -> In reality, each plate contains exactly the same amount of food, yet the context (size of the plate) makes you believe opposite. This “cheap trick” is greatly used by restaurants, specially in more exclusive restaurants where they use biggest plates possible to give you an illusion your portion is smaller than it really is… And the food also looks better on the bigger plate too!
