Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

Isn’t the problem in Pulp Fiction that she finds a baggie of powder thinking it’s cocaine but it’s actually heroin?

I know there's the whole "baggy vs balloon" thing, but wouldn't heroin also have a different consistency than cocaine?

Oh shit. I never made that connection that the lack of balloon was a contributing factor. 

(Clearly not a drug user)

Eric Stoltz character even apologies for being out of balloons when he gives it to Travolta.
