When during the Show should I throw Macaroni on Stage?
There is only one very clear answer to that:
Never!!!
Don't even think about it!
No matter if it is cooked, row, in the Box, without the Box...
Macaroni is food, and you shouldn't throw food around!
The real Fans know for a long time already:
The Story Behind:
If I Had $ 1’000’000
is one of the first Songs, that Steve and Ed wrote together.
The infamous part of the Lyrics:
„If I had $ 1'000'000
A very long time ago,
Maybe it was funny at the beginning.
So BNL started to post Flyers at Concerts:
When you get it in the head
At BNL Concerts, Venue Security are instructed, to search
Unfortunately some folks still manage to smuggle them in.
And unfortunately SOME PEOPLE STILL DON'T GET IT!
Albuquerque (NM) - August 11th 2001 (Under Where - Summer Tour)

So that the Ladies don't fall over stuff and hurt themselves.

Also it hurts to get Macaroni thrown in your face.
(Band members got injured by "flying" Macaroni several times.)
And the Cheese-Powder damages the finish of the Guitars.
It's not cool to throw Macaroni and it stopped being funny a very long time ago.
(If you want to be funny, think about a new Inside-Joke!)
It's also the Song that since the Beginning is played at almost every BNL Show.
We wouldn’t have to eat Kraft Dinner.
But we would..."
Kraft Dinner
(Kraft Homepage)
as an Inside-Joke, Fans started to throw Macaroni on Stage
during the corresponding Lyrics.
But the whole thing got out of hand.
Columbus (OH) - December 30th 2001
Macaroni & Cheese
Hurts
BNL would appreciate donations to the food bank instead
Thank You
the Audience very well for Macaroni Boxes.
What once was an Inside-Joke, is not at all funny anymore!
