How is Iran even close to a third world country?

By the original cold war definition they fit as a "non-aligned" country. If you're going by the perhaps more typical modern definition roughly analogous to the UN HDI then it's not doing too bad, better than nearly all of South Africa, and about on par with most of south-east Asia.

As for the sandwich going to waste, I was of the impression that everybody in the crowd was going to get a piece. I wouldn't be surprised if every last bit got eaten.
