Law of diminishing marginal utility presented by Alfred Marshall. According to this law, the consumer satisfaction level declines after consuming the same commodity simultaneously. Link: https://www.marketing91.com/diminishing-marginal-utility/ I take the example of pizza because I am a pizza lover. But I can only eat a maximum of 3 slices of pizza at a time despite having a great love and hunger. The first piece gives me immense satisfaction. The 2nd provides reduction, and I feel there is some issue in the taste, and it is not like the previous time I eat. While taking third, I thought that pizza has no salt or less salt and has no cheese. Actually, my tummy is full, and I can’t eat more, so I feel it is less tasty.
