I think it works best for native English speakers very well. I was in 2% as I am not native English speaker. Interested to know how these relation works? Do you guys know any other such psychological tricks? Please share.

Why do you think this is related to language? We don't think in words, we think in images.

Now if we were to presuppose that cultural priming has something to do with this, we might be closer to the truth (i.e. people in Western world have carrot as an archetype of vegetables, while people in e.g. Philippines might see cabbage as the representative of veggies).
