All I could think about in that scene was the biggest drug crisis in America: sugar. Fiercely addictive, and horribly destructive in the quantities and concentrations depicted in that scene. Rampant obesity in children and teenagers, a third of teens with pre diabetes. All feeding the profits of Big Pharma to treat the symptoms of sugar overdose without addressing the cause. High blood pressure. Liver failure. Heart disease. Etc.

Sigh... Yeah that does taint the movie quite a bit. But I still love it. Funny that it was made in 1971 🤔
