I think my brother is a mind reader. (twilight zone music)
I just came from the gym and I saw some Pizza Hut employees distributing their flyers in our place. Their marketing campaign must be really good because suddenly I craved for their Ultimate Cheese. I went inside and tried mylotting first to get my mind off pizza (trying to lose weight). I then took a bath and prepared to get on with my online work. I went down and was surprised to see a box of Pizza Hut's Ultimate Cheese in the dining table for our merienda (afternoon snacks).
Before you say that it was just a coincidence, consider this first: My brothers are not fond of plain cheese pizzas. They're men after all, and they like their pizza smothered with meat, preferably no vegetables. I think my mind was screaming my craving and my brothers picked-up on it. What do you think of my explanation?
What about you, have you had a similar experience where a friend or family member seemed to have read your mind? Or is the fact that we have lived for decades together that our brains are now synchronized? Share your thoughts.

aint that nice?
a really very timing coincidence.
i do have had experiences like that and it is just fun to remember them. mostly it is something i am thinking and the other person blurts it out in his mouth. means we are thinking the same thing. 
great, isnt it?

Yes, I love coincidences. Believe it or not, it affirms my faith in God. There are just so many coincidences in this world that it's hard to believe that nobody up there is supervising all our prayers, don't you think?

My god, i've had the same experience just now. I was thinking you'll start a discussion just like this: pizzas, pizza hut, cheese, and mylot. And then i found this discussion. Wow. Just wow, man.

So why were you thinking of starting a discussion of Ultimate Cheese? Were you also craving for a bite of it? Well, I will tell you this, although it was a bit salty for my taste, I would still go for it, not too heavy on the stomach but very filling too. I will try their Lechon Pizza next. Hmmm, I'm been talking too much about food - must be the triggers you started with your search terms.

This happens to me a lot with my mum. When I crave for certain food, my mum cooks it or has it on hand (if it doesn't need to be cooked). It's crazy!
Also there are times when I was still studying that I'd wish I'll bump into her on my way home, and I do bump into her! Amazing really!
Also, my sister and I has the knack of saying the same thing at the same time at the same tone of voice! Like we're reading each other's heads! We laugh about it a lot when it happens, which is very common

I guess living together gives us some kind of mental powers.
Isn't it eerie when it happens to you? Like you, I would sometimes wish to see sometime without me exerting effort. When it happens, you really want to just say "Whoa, what just happened here?" Like one time I was exercising and walked too far that I got exhausted. I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if a member of my family would pass so I can hitch a ride. And lo and behold, as I was walking I saw my uncle waiting for my aunt to get the car.

That is creepy right. I believe your story though because it happens to me with my mom all the time its scary. I was craving luck charms cereal one morning, mind you we haven't bought cereal in years. All of a sudden my mom comes home with a box of lucky charms I was in shock. Yea it happens all the the time. I guess it's the connection you have with someone.

It happened again yesterday. I was in the mall running errands. When I passed by KFC I saw their new KFC double down and was standing in front of it contemplating whether I should have one smothered in bacon, when my brother texted and asked if I could buy double down for our merienda. I guess you're right, it's the connection that we have because of years of being together. It's just so plain weird when it happens to you.
