The Death Note Effect

When a series is over-hyped to such an extent where most people believe it can't possibly be good, but actually manages to live up to the hype.

Person 2: Thats The Death Note Effect for ya.

The Chewing Gum Effect

Offering anything to someone, including chewing gum, causes everyone in the group to want the same thing.

Sam offered Will a piece of gum and then Rob and Kevin asked, and then grabbed without recieving any answer, some gum for themselves. Thus the chewing gum effect was born!
