    ...You have fond memories of "paying" little cardboard tickets for the privilege of "drinking" dry-ice-temperature frozen orange juice and and eating a lukewarm bean burrito (or something that looked vaguely like a bean burrito, if you were from a world where the defining characteristics of Mexican food were "limp" and "soggy").
