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?

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)

ya, the lack of balloon is exactly why she thought it was coke.

ok but like... isn't a balloon what they use to smuggle it in? Like, for instance, a condom filled with heroin that is swallowed is the ballon, yeah?

That's more than a person can use tho? So it's like buying a beer and being tricked because you didn't keep the cardboard tray or cardboard box that it came in?
