But after reading the reference, I did learn that in the 1950s, Betty Crocker recipes included powdered eggs. To give their customers a real sense of accomplishment, they changed it so that you would have to add real eggs yourself. This was one of the first examples of the IKEA effect.

Looks like the main reference here is the Journal of Consumer Psychology:

And then this is a reference: http://beyondphilosophy.com/ever-heard-of-the-ikea-effect-increasing-perceived-value-while-reducing-costs/?-increasing-perceived-value-while-reducing-costs

Perhaps IKEA effect will live to see another day. No biggie there. 

@Joe and Yes why not give @Jack a shoutout.

Does the IKEA one have too few references? It feels a bit advertising-y?
