Examples include a "spooky" drink with grapes and plastic spiders chucked in on a whim, a lighted bottle craft that's literally "buy a string of lights for wine bottles and use it" and the concept of ''reusing wine bottles to serve water''.
** Jenny correcting the hosts talking about a part from the hardware store as a "fitting" and noting that viewers aren't going to get help by asking an employee where the "fittings" are. She then imagines a Hallmark caricature doing so--a woman with a purse full of tequila bottles and wearing a statement necklace asking where the "fittings" are.

So it won't work if you're hit by a bus, but it will work if a vampire is driving the bus.
