Can anyone think of similarly generation-defining food items in media?

    I feel like the unsaid joke of that movie was that going to White Castle is such a weird desire that you’d have to be high.

      White Castle was — until that movie — largely unknown in many areas of the U.S. So yes, until the scene in which they finally reach White Castle, I held out hope that it would indeed be worth the trip.

      The fact that it was, well, just a White Castle made it wholly relatable to anyone who ever had those late-night cravings, though.
