chit-chat effect

You start talking about stuff that, you really shouldn't be talking about, to someone or a group of people, because everyone's being really social and talkative
"... Yeah i've been really busy too, helping move our classified FBI data centre" "wow really? Where to?" "Ah you know, the good 'ol san francisco" "... Wow that's really interesting. You probably shouldn't have told me though. If it weren't for all this talking, you never would have suffered from the chit-chat effect!"

The bread pudding effect

When you make a recipe for your friends or family that turns out a bit *too* good. They then associate you with said recipe and insistently demand that you make it for them at as many special occasions as possible. It can become very annoying very quickly.

Named after a dessert called bread pudding, praised for its simplicity and incredible flavor.
1: "UUGHHH! I hate the bread pudding effect!"
2: "Uh... what?"
1: "I made some bread pudding for my sister's birthday party last week. It turned out incredibly well, but now it's all she ever talks about with me! She keeps asking me to make more of it for her and asking me to bring some to more events and... ugh, it's so annoying."
2: "Bread pudding is indeed really quite nice! Ya know... you could probably persuade her to pay you for more of it in the future."
1: "That-- ...that's not a bad idea, actually. Hm!"

The Hunger Games Effect

An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.
In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows The Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.

The Meghan Effect

By advertising, promoting, and/or wearing low inventory merchandise, an illusion is manufactured to deceive investors & customers into supporting a failing celebrity brand. This illusion is meant to deceive consumers into believing that "sold out" equates to popular & profitable.
Meghan Markle borrowed & modeled low inventory fashions and out of season designer clothing. Her "friends" purchased the remaining stock therefore causing the scarce inventory to quickly "sell out" which created The Meghan Effect.
