"Did I just see... No, it's my imagination." After a while, you see it a few times. Then, you feel thirsty all of a sudden. "Hey I think I'll go get a Drink!"

The Movie theaters blended in phrases such as "YOU ARE THIRSTY" and "YOU ARE HUNGRY" to get potential movie-watchers to buy drinks and snacks from their concession stands to make more money, untill the F.C.C. caught up on it, BAN. It was pretty effective while it lasted.
if you check the beginning of the thread, i mentioned this and how it was just a hoax.

As I was going down the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today; I wish I wish he'd go away.
