Same food, different reaction?

Is this actually a common thing?

The only way you will experience exactly the same reaction to the same food is if you eat it at the same time, go to bed at the same time, do the same amount of exercise at the same time, live in a sealed bubble that controls the air that you breath, have no hormonal changes, ...
