The Power of Suggestiont

That's funny! I just saw a commerical for Honey Nut Cheerios and now I want some! I actually have a box, but it's not open yet and I want to finish some other ceral first, but I don't know if I'll be able to wait. And it's not a food I normally crave. Darn suggestive commericals.

I posted about this a few days ago but it's about commercials influencing you. My favorite is ice cream and when I saw one I actually wanted to have one! Luckily we had some in our fridge...

There was a discussion about the song with the lyrics we will, we will rock you. It was a couple days ago, and right after that, all the rest of the day I was singing that. In my head, AND out loud. I couldn't get it out of my head for the life of me!

""""FOOD"""" I have very little self control where most food is concerned so am very open for the power of suggestion - the other day a discussion here was angel food cake which I love but only allow myself once a year, for my birthday which isn't until April. Responses back and forth went different toppings (chocolate frosting for me please), to chocolate covered cherries, and on. My sweet tooth was going so rampant I ended up leaving the computer and makine peanut butter fudge the only 'sweet' we had all the ingrendiants for.... Now - Reeses Cups happen to be one of my all time favorites and I'll be thinking about them all day.

That's cute! We recently had a discussion about this in one of my major classes. Something about the effects of the media on human appetite. The example my professor gave was of the Mcdonald's burger. If you think about it, there's nothing great about that burger. Your mom or dad could probably make a better one at your home. But why do people still get drawn to it? It's the social status. Whenever we hear of the name Mcdonald's, we think of it as one of the best fast food chains in the world and then want a piece of it. So even if it's not that great, there's a feeling of something that'll make it rise a bit over the other places. Or something like that. It's hard to put into words. Hope you get my drift. I remember this one commercial about a chocolate wafer snack back then. It's called Cloud 9. I'm not much a fan of chocolates but when I saw the commercial, I wanted it so bad. The next day, I went to the store and got some. The wrapper was colorful too. But when I got around to tasting it, I was left very disappointed. I mean, it was perfect on the outside, but seriously gross on the inside. ugh.

I know exactly what you mean... yesterday I starteda discussion on food and one of the responses commented about French Toast - I have not had French Toast in years but since reading that I would love to eat some now...
