Talk:Garbage O's

Should it also be mentioned that Garbage O's has a website? It's given on the bottom of the ad in the Almanac. http://garbageos.com/ --Malunis T 07:52, 25 September 2009 (EDT)

Good idea, I'll do that now. EDIT: Crap, I just looked at the state of the article. :( --FFN 09:57, 25 September 2009 (EDT)

You could always use the "coupon" displayed on the site as an image. I COULD provide a scan, but only if it's allowed, don't wanna do anything stupid. (the article seems to prefer scans though.) Also, the little Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster head shots on the site could be used for their "GO!" buttons, yes? --Malunis T 15:09, 25 September 2009 (EDT)

I just cleaned up the page, but the website seems to have gone down. The Internet Archive doesn't have it either. Was there anything on the site that could be incorporated into the article? --NCZ 14:38, 17 February 2011 (EST)

"Aluminum mallard"

...this has to be a reference to The Adventures of Mayberry Melonpool (whose heroes' spaceship was the Steel Duck). Alas, there's probably no way to prove it for referencing at this point, I'd imagine. - TBR (talk) 21:18, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

No, it's a reference to Space Quest. [1] Escargon (talk) 21:20, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

Aah, that was before my time. (And given the time the Steel Duck probably was referencing it-.) Carry on then. - TBR (talk) 21:22, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

Ingredients

Any appetite for citing from where each of the ingredients derive?

• scrith is the material that the Ring from Larry Niven's Ringworld is said to be made of
• chakan oil is what powers the blasters from Farscape
• budianskium is (as the main page already makes clear) a reference to Bob Budiansky
• chemical X is what gave the Powerpuff Girls their powers
• the m'kraan crystal is an artifact from the X-Men comics
• melange is another term for the spice from Dune

Dalekium would seem to be a reference to the Daleks from Doctor Who... and yet the material they're made of is Dalekanium. Maybe it's an alloy.

Having tripped over this again while browsing, I've done that (by adding links instead of a full section, although if that's preferred I can crack at it). I'm pretty sure "Janick JaAm" is referring to the Iron Maiden guitarist, too, seeing as he jams (heyo!) and protoculture is, of course, from Macross/Robotech. - TBR (talk) 18:28, 27 September 2018 (EDT)

You're 9 years late. Escargon (talk) 19:13, 27 September 2018 (EDT)

Very much so, actually. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:01, 27 September 2018 (EDT)

Well whaddya know. (Also from there - the BSG fuel is "tylium" - is that a typo in the original source, or the transcription here?) - TBR (talk) 22:05, 27 September 2018 (EDT)
