In addition to Ravenous Ravenous Rhinos, Simpsons also had Angry Angry Elephants. And the Simpsons world also has the real Hungry Hungry Hippos, which is way more fun than the “waiting game.” ---

_ **Sweet Steaks** _ wasn’t only shown as part of _ **60 Minutes to Kill** _. I saw it on the lame attempt to revive _ **Laugh-In** _ back in the late '70s or early '80s, which featured Robin Williams and Susan Ford (the President’s daughter) in addition to Martin Mull. ---

> [@TreacherousCretin](#): > > a faux MacDonald’s commercial for a place called “Bun 'n Run”: “Go to Bun, Bun 'n Run, it’s not eating, it’s just fun!” The video game _Mafia III_ also has a [bland-name](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlandNameProduct) McDonalds: Hank’s Burger Bar and a radio commercial for their version of the Big Mac. ---

Speaking of _Mafia III_, a silenced pistol called “Deacon” becomes available from the mobile arms dealer after the player develops a high enough relationship with Irish Mob leader Burke. Mr. Burke and Deacon are characters in _Fallout 3_ and _Fallout 4_, respectively; the latter gives the player unique silenced pistol. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > _Sabrina the Teenage Witch_ has a chocolate-flavored drink named “Hey, Over Here!”. _Schlock Mercenary_ has a product, Ovalquik that the good sergeant consumes by the barrel. The Canadian cartoon series, _Grizzy and the Lemmings_, on Netflix has a number of these. Almost everything is made by Zenithal and has their Z logo somewhere on it. There’s an acorn and chocolate concoction a jar called Yummy, and a laptop that shows up occasionally doesn’t show a name, per se, but has a lighted pine cone on the lid. ---

I remembered that there were other items from that _Sabrina_ episode, but couldn’t remember what they were. Of course Google giveth. They included Schnickers, N and N’s, Butterthumb, and Popsi. (That episode also provided a “favorite misleading celebrity quote” that I didn’t remember but want to: “I’m looking for a slanty green piece with a funny little waddle.”–Randy Travis) [http://www.melissazone.com/sabrina/transcript.php?id=004](http://www.melissazone.com/sabrina/transcript.php?id=004) ---

The cards were produced by Topps beginning in 1967, first in die-cut, then in peel-and-stick sticker format. There were 16 series produced between 1973 and 1977, with some reprints and several new series released up to the present day. > At the height of their popularity from 1973 to 1975, Wacky Packages outsold Topps baseball cards, when they were by far...

The “Mission Impossible” TV series used a number of fake country names - usually to denote an Eastern European dictatorship - e.g. “People’s Democratic Republic” or “Bulmania”.
