I think **Mahna Mahna** s would be an insanely sugary breakfast cereal with little bits of colourful “marshmallows” shaped like Muppets characters. Oh, and it would turn your milk bright pink. ---

Pronounced badly, I’d probably be one of those “lawn-clipping” greens that show up in pretentious salads. Pronounced correctly, I’d likely be one of those additives that show up at the end of highly processed foods, right after xanthan gum and guar. ---

This is kind of tough, but I can see someone walking into a bar and ordering an Intergalactic Gladiator. Maybe a glass of beer (I’m thinking Smithwicks) with a crispy piece of bacon in it with a squirt of EZ Cheez on a plate next to it. ---
