You'll probably enjoy this clip from the Woody Allen movie Sleeper, where his character is revived 200 years in the future after being cryogenically frozen in 1973. Just watch the first minute or so. [VIDEO]

Sleeper. He wakes up hundreds of years in the future, and starts asking for health foods. From the early 70s. [VIDEO]

Smoking cigarettes would do it. Nicotine + Oxygen right? Who knew the movie Sleeper had it right, keto diet and tabacco. [VIDEO]
