This one might be obvious, yet still I can’t recall the movie or its title. it’s probably some superhero-featured Holywood blockbuster I saw some 4-5 years ago, I am not sure though.
There is this scene in which a corpulent guy has put off wieght amazingly fast thanks to the “superhero’s” saliva he had a contact with while drinking from the same glass (that’s the way i remembered it). The substance, however, caused an insatiate hunger, so, the guy, having dinner at a restaurant, orders one steak after another and cannot kill it, until, some time later, he dies of malnutrition.
thanks:)
You might try “The 4400”. It was a television series which had an episode about this.
Season 2, Episode 3 – Weight of the World.
Here is the synopsis from IMDB:
A salesman’s saliva has an extremely slimming effect on people. Lily suspects a new pregnancy as Richard stumbles onto a case of jealousy. So does Collier, and Shawn is disgusted by his moral. Kyle is tempted to join a wild students’ party. Maia finds her aunt’s work very interesting.
As I remember it, the effect never stops and the people just keep losing weight no matter how much they eat, eventually most of them die.
