The Numbers Don't Lie
Irrefutable Statistics
Over 45 years of meticulous data collection from school cafeterias, family dinner tables, and one very strict teacher's classroom.
The Protocol
The Meat-First Pudding Protocol (MFPP)
Our internationally recognized three-step dining framework ensures equitable pudding distribution based on verified meat consumption.
Meat Is Served
A regulation portion of meat (minimum 150g) is placed before the subject. The clock begins. No negotiations. No substitutions. This is science.
Meat Is Consumed
The subject must consume the entirety of the meat portion. Independent observers verify plate clearance. Hiding meat in napkins results in immediate disqualification.
Pudding Is Awarded
Upon verified consumption, a regulation pudding is granted. Spotted Dick, treacle tart, or sticky toffee — all are within protocol parameters.
Data Visualization
Pudding Eligibility by Food Group
Our longitudinal study reveals a clear, statistically significant correlation between meat consumption and pudding access.
Pudding eligibility rate (%) based on main course consumed. N = 14,327. Margin of error: ±0% (the rules are the rules).
Peer-Reviewed*
Key Findings
*Reviewed by our peers at the pub. They unanimously agreed over a pint.
The 1979 Wall Hypothesis
The original observation that established the causal link between meat consumption and pudding access. Published simultaneously as a rock album and a research paper.
Cross-Cafeteria Validation
A sweeping 12-nation study confirmed the meat-pudding correlation holds across all cultures with a tradition of post-dinner dessert enforcement.
The Spotted Dick Experiment
Double-blind trial where subjects who consumed meat reported 340% greater satisfaction upon pudding delivery than the control group (who got nothing).
