Answer: Yamah did not form the association because the tastes guide our behavior when eating but sound does not.

Explanation:

Tasting food has evolved over the years and guides our eating behavior. Since she was drinking at the exact time as the song was playing her brain was associating the illness with the drink. Even though a person can get physically ill when hearing a song, a comment, or other small things to trigger themselves into getting a stress illness such as a stomachache or headache.
