    Does anyone else associate a food with a game?

    Almost every time I sit down to play a Fallout game, especially FO3 or NV, I want to have a bottle of sugar Dr. Pepper to go with my session. ^_^ I also think of Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies when I play Final Fantasy Tactics. Does anyone else do this?
