This scene popped into my head while I was at dinner tonight:

There's a group of men somewhere cold and they only have a packet of sugar to eat. So they take turns licking their fingers and taking a scoop from the bag. There's a shot of one of the guys sucking on his finger for a long period. Two of these people might have been brothers.

It was really vague, but it's bothered me for 6 hours now. I couldn't find anything online based on my random memory. However, someone at dinner confirmed that he had seen what I was talking about, but also couldn't remember what it was. He remembered it being in a comedy or a comedic scene. I remember it being in a movie rather than a TV show.

This is seriously bugging me.

What is this from? PLEASE HELP

There's a mutated version of this scene in the season finale of "My Name is Earl". It involve brothers, but it wasn't cold, it wasn't sugar (it was chip dust), there were only two people. Either my memory mutated this scene into something completely different or the movie the sugar packet is from is still out there.

At least there's some closure.

I don't know if this helps or not, but there is a scene EXACTLY like that in an episode of the series "SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND". The episode is titled "Sugar Dirt". The main characters are left on a planet trying to retake an airfield, when the fleet has to leave them behind. (Basically a SCI-FI take on Guadalcanal) They are left there for months, and finally they retake the field and are huddled together inside a diner on the airbase. All they have is a single packet of sugar left for food, that they all take turns dipping their fingers into. Is that it?

HUZZAH!

I need to rereview the episode, but sense I rewatched the series right after it was released on DVD, I think it's safe to assume that is what I was thinking.

THANK YOU KNYTE!!!

Now I am at peace.
