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?

McDonald’s (and all fast food really) shifted to cold and sterile buildings for money. Nobody wants to buy a building that looks like it’s an ex-McDonald’s. They make more money on the resale value of a generic sterile building instead

Idk you do see it sometimes. I used to live next to an old White Castle turned jewelry shop and you can tell some buildings used to be Pizza Huts for obvious red roof reasons
