    DALLAS — Traveling to every Toronto Maple Leafs game, you get to see how different markets handle entertainment. But this one is on a new level.

    During a television timeout in Toronto's game against the Dallas Stars, game operations featured the 'Snackwards Cam'. The name is simple enough. It involves snacking and going backwards. So you think you're ready for it right? Not quite.

    There's a certain voyeurism as the camera finds fans of the Stars (and many Maple Leafs) eating concession food (or in one case someone's show). 

    It's gross, yet it's also mesmerizing. I couldn't look away. Maybe it was because I was wondering what food they would show next.

    It is certainly creative and people naturally have some thoughts on this.

     When the moment occurred, I was plugging away from my laptop before I was distracted by the intense audible groans. I had to see what was up and then the camera went on.

    There are a lot of unique experiences at sporting events during breaks in the action. It will be tough to beat the Dallas Stars for this unique combination of horror and enjoyment.
