- Unintentional Period Piece:
- The episode features Marge buying crummy "generic" products such as "Budget O's" cereal and "Colombia's Shame" coffee, which would be considered as an undeniable sign of extreme financial strain at a time the "credit prosperity" of the late 90s and early-mid 00s was at its peak—After the 2008 crisis however, low-cost "private label" products have become increasingly popular with cost-conscious consumers.
- Homer leaves a note reminding himself to "Ask Jeeves." The website he's referring to (which was part of Ask.com) would be shut down in 2006, less than a year later (though it's still active in the UK).
