Explanation:

• Dr. Gregory Berns, a professor of behavioral science had performed various experiments to answer an archaic question: why people follow the crowd? ABC’s Primetime recreated two of these experiments using several unsuspecting people
• Primetime tried out a scenario, where they invited a group of strangers to Jean George’s Asian restaurant, lower Manhattan for a dinner as well as surprise
• Party planner Colin Cowie and his friend Donna D’Cruz, were part of the experiment. Their role was to display exhibit bizzare behaviour that most people would not dream of while out at dinner that too with a group of strangers.
• Cowie and D’Cruz first licked their fingers, a strict no-no at the dinner table, then Cowie picked his teeth. The guests on seeing such behaviour, however in the beginning, did not fall for the bait until the dessert was served.
• D'Cruz told everybody they must pick up pieces of mango face first using their mouth. Finally, people who were total strangers at the beginning of the evening were passing the mango back and forth, mouth to mouth. Only Maria and Harold, a Canadian did not follow the the gustatory familiarity. Ultimately, Harold was the only one who dared to ask, what is the point of the dinner?
• "Family" here implies an intimacy or an inaccurate act, with suggestions of confusion as well. Passing pieces of mango from mouth to mouth is definitely a "familiarity" gesture. "Gustatory" is slightly misused here, because the object of this activity  is not to taste but to feed others the mango.
• Cowie then explained the reason behind the experiment to the group. They explained how people follow the crowd and in this experiment just because Cowie and D'Cruz broke the rules (appropriate social behaviour at the dinner table), a several of  the guests eventually you followed suit with it.
• This test is an example of our human need to conform, which was the question as to why people are conformists as asked by Dr. Gregory Berns, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences, Atlanta’s Emory University, who tried to answer in a groundbreaking experiment and paper
