**Krebstar** products, from Nickelodeon’s (I think?) _The Adventures of Pete and Pete_ - the made everything, from radios (Krebstar 2000, IIRC) to guitars to food. Man, I miss that show - kinda “Malcolm in the Middle” styley, but better…and earlier. ---

Soylent was the ingredients of the product - soybeans and lentils, the different colors were different flavors and textures. There was no cannibalism in the book the movie was based on. ---

From **Full Throttle** (PC), there’s Corley Motors–the best, last name in motorcycles. From [bFallout\*\* there’s a lot of my favorites. Nuka-Cola, (The official soft drink of the apocalypse!), Chrysalis Motors (Maker of the very reliable Chrysalis Highwayman used in Fallout 2), and Vaul-Tek. From **Final Fantasy 7** , there’s the Shinra Electric Power Company. (Which has been dabbling in a lot more than electricity lately) ---

Scum, the first combination salad dressing and foot ointment Ano-Gum, the first gum to keep those other cheeks fresh, all week long Baldy-Gel: it’ll get your head so clean you can eat off it. Crelm Toothpaste, with the miracle ingredient ‘Fraudulin’ Shrill Petrol, with the new additive GLC 9424075 (after 6 pm, GLC 9424047) The Whizzo Quality Assortment (unspeakably disgusting chocolates) Heart Attacko Margarine Tiger Brand Coffee // is a real treat // even tigers prefer a cup of it // to real meat.

**Hyperelastic** , you can’t mention “Confuse-a-Cat” without their subsidiary companies, “Amaze-a-Vole” and “Bewilderbeest.” Personally, I vote for all the product brand names in the _Sam and Max_ comics, especially “It Came from the Cereal Aisle.” Some of the cereal names I can remember: Fear-Oh’s Flakes of Lead Paint Lobstah Fahts ---

I’d like to add the “Scud” line of disposable assassins, from the comic of the same name. **Ashtar** ’s right about Fallout. I just finished replaying FO2 a couple hours ago, and there’s pop cultural references all over that bad boy - but this is not the place 😉 ---

Be sure to stop by a Friday’s style restaurant called “The _Legend_ of T.J. O’Pootertoot”. Order the house special . . . **pooterballs**. What’s in it? [“It’s pooter-meat…with a taste that’s oddly familiar.”](http://benstiller.50megs.com/episodes/12/) ---
