Is it normal to associate numbers with food products?

Is it normal that I associate numbers with food products and a few non food products? I did this ever since I was a kid. If it helps, I'm on the autism spectrum. Here's a list:

0 - Cheese dip and nachos
1 - A square piece of ham (Which I referred to as a bobble)
2 - Milk (Cause I always had 2% milk)
3 - Blood (I heard the Count from Sesame Street say "3" in a funny way and he's a vampire and vampires drink blood so that's why)
4 - Reeses peanut butter cup
5 - Dead skin peeling off a hand (Not a food products but hands normally have 5 digits, dunno where I got the dead skin from)
6 - Grilled cheese sandwich
7 - Pepperoni (One of my favorite snacks as a kid was exactly 7 pieces of pepperoni on a plate)
8 - Chili
9 - Chocolate malt/milkshake (My grandma always pressed the 9 on the blender to make them)
10 - An edible contact lens that tastes like a cough drop
11 - White bread dripped in tomato sauce
12 - A piece of cheese that's tied to a string hanging from the ceiling swinging back and forth
13 - A limp, soggy, greasy french fry
(Skip to 21 as I had no association with numbers 14 - 20)
21` - Television static

    Yes, well for me I can't think of specific numbers off the top of my head, but definitely if they're even or odd (I'm not on the autistic spectrum). Most interesting part of this post though, I love the idea of eating television static.

      I associate the number 21 with TV static because channel 21 was nothing but static back when I lived in Nebraska.

        Oh cool. Its cool you share reasons for so many of these.

        I associate so many things and never usually have reasons, although maybe they are there like yours but I don't remember.

        I'm not sure but maybe it is possible to connect things just on their own, I think that's cool too!

    I think you might have synesthesia. I never knew it was a real thing until I read the webtoon Space Boy. The main character Amy has synesthesia, she associates people with flavors.

    I sometimes associate words and names with random things. Never numbers though.
