Steven, considering I didn't know there was alcohol in either the dip I was tasting, or the goo I was sniffing, this makes no sense. There's an objective reality here that many of us, including it sounds like Carlotta, have experienced that I think ought to be folded into your theories. That does not invalidate the experiences of those who have never had these kind of surprise cravings, but it does invalidate any claims that they don't exist, and might suggest that a more complete theory is needed.
