Lemonheads remind me of Suikoden II. When I was a young lad, I distinctly remember eating a box slowly while playing.

Fruity Pebbles also remind me of Mario Party 4 - my friend and I got out of school at ~1pm one day on an early release, and spent the next 4 hours or so eating an entire box of fruity pebbles and playing that game. Good times...

Mountain Dew Code Red reminds me of Infinite Undiscovery - played it in college, and drank a bottle of code red the first night I played it. It's become something of a ritual for me. Every few months, on a friday or saturday, I shut myself in, turn off all the lights, buy a large bottle of code red, and pick a new game (usually RPG) to start and play for way way longer than I normally can in one sitting.

If you would have asked me this question earlier, I would not have been able to say anything about Sonic 3 and Berry Berry Kix. It was only after I smelled it again that I was instantly reminded of Sonic 3.

I don't eat while playing games.

Blitz reminds me of $19.99, the cost of a replacement N64 controller at the time. I would break two controllers in a single playoff game.

The Virtual Boy will always remind me of power outages, as that's when I usually play it.

Game Gear ftw. Yeah it sucked up batteries, but except for the great ice storm of 94 I don't remember power being out that much.

Tangerines remind me of Manhunt, because I ate a lot of tangerines during the same time period when I was first playing through Manhunt. Rainy weather makes me think of Tenchu, certain locations make me think of certain games.

Ah, yes. Power outages will always remind me of hours of playing Zelda: Link's Awakening and Final Fantasy Adventure on my brick Game Boy.

Just remembered another one: original Xbox 360's make me think of Monty Python's Flying Circus. That's because I watched through the series on DVD on my 360. In fact, that was the last thing I used it for before it RRODed. :cry:

Monty Python kills 360s, beware!

I always associate Baten Kaitos with 80's Hair Metal. Also, Mega Man Battle Network 4 with the smell of a city street. Long story for both of those. :P
