I haven't, but my SO has. If a character he likes drinks a certain kind of alcohol or eats a certain kind of food, you bet he's at the store buying it as soon as he can. Ricky from Trailer Park Bots eats chicken fingers and pepperoni, so my SO starts eating chicken fingers and pepperoni. Some character Tom Selleck played (Jesse Stone, I think) drank scotch, so my SO starting buying scotch. I could name more examples, but you get the point.
