I can't see "Aaron Burr" without hearing that silly peanut butter commercial that ran years ago.
We are all marked!
I even get that association from stuff about Hamilton. The musical. And the guy, I suppose, though that doesn't come up as often.
I kind of want a mash-up of that commercial and the musical. "Oh, if you want to research Alexander Hamilton, there's this weird guy I know with all kinds of memorabilia, he's the guy you need to talk to."

You can't. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics ever since."[129] However, when asked about the quote in a 2015 interview to promote Avengers: Age of Ultron, he denied that his previous statement reflected any longstanding beliefs on his part, and stated, "I wouldn't say that I'm a Republican or a liberal or a Democrat.[130]
