If we're talking synthetic flavours I agree, however some natural raw sugars make a brilliant difference, as can salt, garlic, chilli etc

The one i never got is why people wash out baits to make them look “old”, but then soak in liquids to boost the attraction?

Because magazines lol.
For some people, they want the softness of washed out baits but not to lose the attraction, so companies tell them to add more flavour instead of avoiding washing out the original flavour to begin with. you can add enough water to saturate baits without diluting them but then their sponsors wont be happy

I'm in a similar boat (although no whole nuts... Only ground) and think I am going to go for a simple chili hemp, ground tigers & maize mix initially. With some boilies thrown in for good measure.

Black sweetened tigers over hemp

never understood this....
i soak the bait to make it look like its old and bee there a while.... but the fish doesn't know what colour the bait was before it entered the lake
just swilling out the flavors and solubles and leaving them in a bucket.

It's more of a tactic for over flavoured ready maxes in my opinion, it's also meant to soften them.
I mean there is no two ways about it, every carp that's ever lived prefers soft food, less calories burned to eat it

How do we know they prefer soft food? Caddis, snails, mussels, tigers, etc, etc, etc

Mozzi is correct. It's basic ecological theory, relates to all fauna. If in doubt, read up on Optimal Foraging Theory.

So why do they eat them instead of other soft items?
