I remember that episode...or one like it. The aliens had paused time right before earth was about to destroy itself via nuclear holocaust, so that they could run in and steal all the good artwork and preserve it for posterity (theirs, not ours). Of course, there was one human who somehow did not get "paused" in time along with everyone else, and realizes what all is going on, therefore creating Dramatic Tension and Unresolved Plot Inconsistencies along the way.

With a plot like that, you can't help but put yourself in the situation as the "unpaused" human.
What would you do?

A friend and I came to the conclusion that the only thing to do would be to walk into a See's candy shop and sample every flavor they had before time unfroze.
