Snap Crackle Pop makes the world go round

Rice Krispies (called Rice Bubbles in Australia) is a brand of breakfast cereal that has been produced by Kellogg’s since 1928. They are made of rice grain which is cooked, dried and toasted. These kernels bubble and rise in a manner which forms very thin walls. When the cereal is exposed to milk or juices, these walls tend to collapse suddenly, creating the famous “Snap, crackle and pop” sounds. This is in contrast to puffed rice, which was introduced in 1904.

Snap, Crackle and Pop! are the cartoon mascots of Kellogg’s breakfast cereal Rice Krispies (Rice Bubbles in Australia).

Spongmonkeys love the Quizno Subs

Quiznos Sub is a fast-food sandwich franchise that specializes in toasted submarine sandwiches. As of 2005, it is the second-largest submarine sandwich shop chain in North America, passing the older and slower-growing Blimpie, though still a fraction of the size of Subway.

In early 2004 the Spongmonkeys began appearing in television advertisements for Quizno’s Subs singing an altered version of their song called “We Love the Subs.” One commercial featured the oft-imitated line “they got a pepper bar,” referring to the self-serve assortments of peppers that are a Quizno’s selling point. The comments on the commercials were mixed, and a few months later the commercials stopped airing.

Arby’s Reuben Sandwich is on Jeopardy

Jeopardy! is a popular international television quiz game show, originally devised by Merv Griffin, who also created Wheel of Fortune. [It] is a game of trivia, covering topics such as history, literature, pop culture, and science. During the game, three competing contestants select clues from a game board, up to 61 clues per game, each clue in the form of an answer, to which they must supply correct responses, each response in the form of a question. The conceit of “questioning answers” is original to Jeopardy! and, along with its theme music, remains the most enduring and distinctive element of the show.
