Just wondering about this.

I have a friend who sometimes just specifically craves a certain dish from a certain food chain. (Like wicked wings from KFC or something)

Or they suddenly feel like watching a specific show (Like Boston Legal)

How does that work?
I never seem to experience something similar to that.
Is it common to feel like that?

      Not really. For example I cannot pull up an image of the gieco gecko in my mind. I think gieco gecko car insurance, I would have to think deeper to think more. Like does my car need insurance, would the gecko save me money, etc… And I’m just not going to do that for a commercial I’m actively trying to avoid.

      Commercials are more for imagers. The ones that need to see the cheeseburger before they buy it. The ones where a gecko seems like a great thing to do business with.

      I’m not immune to their propaganda though.
