Peak End Rule - Whats more memorable - Dhoni's six Vs Gambhir's 97?

More memorable of 2011 world cup - Dhoni's hitting 6 in 2011 world cup (91*) or Gambhir's above the order 97?

You went to a movie. The beginning and the middle was boring. But the end was awesome. Your mind will still rate it - awesome. (Bruce Willis's Sixth sense?)

Apart from the end, we also remember some of the extreme scenes in the middle; those peaks that were unusually good or worst. (Kashmir Files' 2 extreme scenes!!)

That's peak-end rule at play. 

When we remember something, our brain ignores most of it. It picks only the 'peaks' and the 'end' more than anything out of a story, movie, #content..any experience; and makes an assessment of it, based on that only.

Despite a poor #experience throughout, if the brand makes it sweetest at the end, your #NPS rating would still be 8-10/10. 

So, its important that as marketers, we build those peaks in our content or experiences along with pleasant endings. 

That unique mouth freshening pouches in a restaurant. Or that peak moment clicked at a Disney ride given at end!

Any relatable examples?
