According to a survey made by entertainment channel, Food Network UK, more than half of men prefer their Mom's cooking to their own wife's.
When growing up our brains learn to love what's on the menu at home. Most of us also associate home cooked meals with a safe and loving environment. Most people have a sentimental attachment to at least a few of the dishes their Mother's used to make. I have fond memories of a rice pudding with sour cherry souce my Mom used to make.
It should not be a surprise to see the fast food restaurant, Wendy's associating their refreshed brand with Mom's cooking. Look at the clever way the word Mom is hidden in Wendy's collar. The trick is most apparent in the single color variation of the logo used on packaging.
This is something you may not notice consciously for years, but unconsciously it will leave an imprint on your brain and you will associate it with the brand. It's a bit like the arrow in the Fedex logo or the bear in Toblerone.

I would never associate any fast food with home cooking so I guess I'm immune to that marketing ploy... and the fact that I have to drive a good 10 miles to encounter that imagery, just doesn't work on me.

One experiment mimicked the stock market, while another asked students to search for images in television static. Time and again, students saw images where there were none and found stock patterns that didn't exist.

Oh, and my mother wasn't a very good cook. She hated cooking and it showed.
