When a Whole Foods grocery store moves into an urban neighborhood, catalyzing economic development and gentrification. Often, this means middle-class, “hipster” young adults moving in, pushing up rents and pushing out long-time residents.
Shana: “Since when have the rents in this neighborhood been so expensive? Who are all these artsy, vegetable-loving yuppies hanging around?”
Sean: “Well, you can blame it on the new Whole Foods store that opened last year - it’s the Whole Foods Effect. "

The desensitizing effect of seeing brown skinned women naked in the magazine. Naked black chicks do nothing for you compared to blonds.
Yeah, she might be cute to some guy but it's like I've seen her before. It's the National Geographic Effect, man.

Going home with someone that you thought was good looking at the time.

The effect that happens when a girl refuses to have intercourse with one partner. Then with the next partner finally, and often easily, has intercourse for the first time.
Example: kinda like how someone is struggling to open a pickle jar.
Guy 1: dude did you have sex with Tiffany last night?
Guy 2: no, she wouldn’t let me.
Guy 1: oh, sounds like The Pickle Jar Effect.

The financial and cultural impacts in India resulting from the popularity of the "Slumdog Millionaire" film.
Financial impacts could include increased private or public aid to India from those who viewed the film.
Cultural impacts could include decreased tourism to India based on the publicity of poverty in India through the film.
Private donations to Indian NGOs rose sharply in February 2009 due to the Slumdog Millionaire Effect.
