Another LPF member posted this link before, think it may have been daguin, not sure tho.... however, it explains the "speckles"

The moving wrapper trick can be demonstrated with a plastic grocery bag. It does the same thing.
It's because it melts.
It's not because of gravity, though. It's just because the crinkled wrapper un-crinkled when it melted in that spot.
Edit: And any color laser powerful enough to melt the bag/wrapper will do it.
