A very primal and potent form of instinctive behavioral learning. This is innate in humans and animals of all kind (including fish, worms, etc). Classical conditioning forms the reason and basis for all unhealthy addictions and fetishes.
In an Orwellian type of situation, one could theoretically take over the world if they could classical condition their citizens (in fact, megacorporations are already doing it right now via advertisements).

The teacher played the exact same song every time we took a quiz. I now hate that song thanks to classical conditioning.
Even though I ate dinner, I started craving for a burger after watching a Wendy's commercial, all thanks to classical conditioning.
After seeing all these hot bikini girls in a beer commercial, brad suddenly felt the desire to crack open a cold one, all thanks to classical conditioning.
You could very well get turned on by a fire hydrant all thanks to classical conditioning.

A very overrated newspaper that the majority of folks depend on to get their news about everything. Mostly shares populist and moderately liberal viewpoints, with an inherent bias towards the US. The op-eds can sometimes come off as a bit moralizing. Not a bad news source by any means, but far from being the greatest newspaper.

Another great phrase to use against flat-earthers and other conspiracy nutjobs alike.
