The documentary 'Derek Tastes of Earwax' gets its name from this phenomenon, in references to pub owner James Wannerton who experiences this particular sensation whenever he hears the name spoken.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/derek-tastes-of-ear-wax|title=Derek Tastes of Ear Wax|work=Top Documentary Films|access-date=2 February 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/derek_prog_summary.shtml|title=BBC – Science & Nature – Horizon|work=bbc.co.uk|access-date=2 February 2015}}</ref> It is estimated that 0.2% of the synesthesia population has this form of synesthesia, making it one of the rarest forms.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Encyclopedia of Neuroscience| vauthors = Simner J | chapter = Lexical-Gustatory Synesthesia |publisher = Springer Berlin Heidelberg|year = 2009|isbn = 978-3-540-23735-8|pages = 2149–2152|doi = 10.1007/978-3-540-29678-2_2766}}</ref>
