There are people who think that “positive” or “negative” words have a magic-like effect on natural processes.
From what I’ve seen, this was originally popularized in 2004 by Masaru Emoto’s book “The Hidden Messages in Water,” where part of his claims were that snowflakes would develop differently in containers labeled with negative or positive emotions.
Naturally, this turned out to be a complete lie, but many people, such as those in the original post, still believe that words can somehow influence things like mold development on food.
Words have powers bordering on magic, I guess is the idea.
And for many people that’s true, for as long as they are willing to believe that.
So I guess what I’m saying is that placebos have powers bordering on magic.
If this is an explanation it doesn’t make it clearer

Thank you. The thing I was missing was the fact that the other one had mold.
I watched a youtube video about it. It’s temperature that dictates how a snowflake looks. Simple as that.
