In a darkened movie theater during Raider of the Lost Ark, it's always possible to eat the wrapper.

I remember as a kid being given some Mexican candy where you were supposed to eat the wrapper (it was candy too). As a little kid that was the coolest thing-- eating the wrapper. I went to Mexico twice as a kid and, with the bad water, I was allowed to drink more than my normal allotment of soda pop (albeit Mexican pop). Naturally, I grew up thinking Mexico was a great place.

I remember sitting in a Mexico City hotel, watching a San Antonio Texas television station showing a travel show about Sydney Australia. Even as a kid I realized the surrealness of the situation.
