İsveç Doktor Hofer ’ın 1678 yılında tanımladığı nostalji, kökeninde özlem hastalığı olarak tanımlanmasının yanı sıra etimolojik kökeninde Nostos ve algia kelimelerinden türetilip oksimoron bir kelime olarak günümüze kadar gelmiş olan nostaljik yiyecekler ve içecekler beş duyu ile kavrandığında duygusal anılar uyandırmaktadır. Orbitofrontal kortekste yorumlanan lezzet ise lezzet hafızasına atılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, nostaljik yiyeceklerin Y Kuşağı özelinde lezzet hafızasındaki çağrışımları ortaya koymak ve ürün yaşam döngüsü teorisi kapsamında değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışma kapsamında; yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmış ve 280 Y Kuşağı mensubu birey ile online ortamda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre; bireyler nostaljik yiyecekleri gördüğünde olumlu, olumsuz ya da nötr cevaplar vermiştir. Bulgular doğrultusunda çalışmada uygulamaya yönelik önerilere yer verilmiştir.
