In college I needed some cash and went to a “study”. For $75 bucks you went to a mocked up grocery store and spent 45 minutes strapped up in a chair where they showed you combination after combination of (one vendors) bottle colors and arrangement on the shelf and tracked your eyes on how quickly you gravitated towards them. Always seemed super intense what retailers do.
It certainly won't stop them from selling on that feature.
You are right about the lengths product marketing companies will go to. There is a lot of money on the table and the grocery business is all-in on this stuff.
