Wander the halls of the Television Crossover Hall Of Fame (located in Joyville, Ct.), and you'll see that some of the exhibits are dedicated to products and to places as well:
- the New York Ledger
- the Los Angeles Tribune
- the L.A. Tribune
- the L.A. Sun
- Playgirl Magazine
- the Edison Hotel
- the North Pole
- Fernwood, Ohio
- Mayberry, North Carolina
- the Montecito Hotel
- St. Eligius Hospital
The most recent example would be the Slush-O soft drink which gained entry during the 15th anniversary of the TVXOHOF as part of the overall theme for 2014 - "Toobworld Goes To The Movies".
Since the Birthday Honors list is usually meant to induct something off-beat which connects the TV Universe together, we have another product this year that deserves entry:
LET'S POTATO CHIPS
There are four kinds - the classic salty kind (yellow bag), the BBQ flavored (orange bag), ranch flavored (blue bag), and sour cream and onion (green bag).
And the number of shows connected by the used of this fictional product is a lengthy list:
- 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles'
- 'Sons of Anarchy'
- '10 Things I Hate About You'
- 'The New Adventures Of Old Christine'
- 'The Ringer'
- 'New Girl'
- 'Parenthood'
- 'Trophy Wife'
- '2 Broke Girls'
- 'Let’s Stay Together'
- 'Ugly Betty'
- 'CSI: NY'
- 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'
- 'Switched At Birth'
- 'The Mentalist'
- 'Arrested Development'
- 'Melissa and Joey'
- 'Orange Is The New Black'
- 'Dads'
- 'The Middle'
- 'The Bill Engvall Show'
- 'Cougar Town'
- 'Brothers and Sisters'
- 'Dollhouse'
- 'Inside the Box'
- 'My Name Is Earl'
- 'Better Off Ted'
- 'Touch'
- 'Make or Break It'
- 'Awkward'
- 'Community'
- 'The Crazy Ones'
Here are some images from those examples:
In fact, there may even be plenty of other shows that are now users of Let's Potato Chips. After all, I'm setting up this article back in August of 2014 when I first found an article online celebrating this trivial tidbit.
One good thing about having the Let's Potato Chips brand in the TVXOHOF? There's always something to snack on if you get locked in for the night.....
Bet you can't eat just one! Oops, wrong potato chips....
BCnU!
