Imagination

Smell is a strong influence when it is available. Even Burger King can
smell good when you are hungry and downwind.

In the market, sight is more of an influence as the food on display has
little to no odor. The sight of a nice steak or roast in the meat case and
the visualization of what it will look like ready to eat is good.
