A great deal of his fame is premised on this priming effect. It’s been taken almost as gospel for decades, to the point that a typical applied psychology paper will actually include a priming step even if unnecessary just to spruce up the methodology. E.g. “subjects were primed by having them read articles on spicy food” for a study on water fountains, etc.
