In service of the goal to bring more of the US population within a healthy weight range, governmental agencies and health care professionals advocate the eating of more fruit for those who consume three or less cup equivalents per day. In this thesis, I first evaluate the effect of sampling fruit while reading a message advocating this change. I argue that sampling makes the message more effective, because it initiates the advocated behaviors. Then I classify people into high and low savorers of life, people who enhance or reduce the joy of positive experiences. I then suggest that sampling everyday tasting fruit matters more for those who tend not to savor the good moments of their life, while sampling extraordinary tasting fruit, matters more for those high in savoring. I manipulate the mindsets people hold on being happy; whether it returns to a set point or grows. I suggest that the match between sampling and savoring occurs with the mindset that happiness returns to a set point.
