This patent is borderline "there are 4 lights" shit. What's to stop the 'passcode' from being "I sure am hungry, let's get mcdonald's" and pavloving the general population?

That's absolutely the point. The goal of most marketing is to worm into everyone's brains so when they think of a need, the product is their default. This doubles down on that by trying to generate a need through action.
