The Host also uses a similar setting for a good portion of the movie (from what I remember)
The most entertaining bit about the movie The Host (based on the Stephenie Meyer novel) was the fact that in a world ruled by Souls -- alien beings who possess humans and are incapable of dishonesty -- you go to a store marked "store". You pick up a bag of potato chips marked "potato chips", a jug of milk marked "milk" and a can of chicken soup marked "chicken soup". You walk out without paying for anything because the owners of "store" know you won't take more than you need and are providing for everybody.
Oh yeah, all the labels are in Helvetica bold. Anything fanvier might be a way to get a dishonest advantage.
