Grant Snider of Incidental Comics has produced a humorous infographic detailing synesthetic experiences with Crayons. Synesthesia is a phenomenon whereby people will associate [sensory experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opaque-ice-cream) with unrelated input from unrelated senses. Instead of just smelling the flowers, one would also hear the flowers, for instance.

In this vein, Grant Snider came up with a sensation for various colors of Crayons. Red is letter Q and Thursday is Green, apparently. Synesthesia is an interesting and downright bizarre experience.

Grant Snider's illustrations pique one's curiosity: if Crayons can produce such varied associations simply through color, then what would listening to Mozart while drinking orange juice while watching, say, '2001 A Space Odyssey' be like? Hopefully Grant Snider will make a comic about this experience.
