A sort of French version of this experiment was carried out in Dijon, France where researchers found that mothers who consumed food and drink flavored with licorice-flavored anise during pregnancy showed a preference for anise on their first day of life, and again, when they were tested later, on their fourth day of life.
Francuska verzija ovog pokusa održana je u Dijonu u Francuskoj gdje su istraživači otkrili da su bebe majki koje su konzumirale hranu i piće s okusom slatkog korijena anisa tijekom trudnoće pokazale skolonost anisu prvog dana života i ponovo kada su kasnije bila testirana, četvrtog dana života.
