Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Nonfat (or fat free) and cholesterol free don't always go together. Check the nutrition label carefully. Nonfat dairy products can and usually do contain some cholesterol. Skim milk does, even in some cases if it's just trace, and most nonfat yogurt is made from skim milk. Actually there is not a single edible product that contains cholesterol as it is produced by the human body. This marketing scam has been around for a while fooling people to belive that what they are buying doesn't contain cholesterol. Although it may be true the real fact is that it may produce cholesterol inside your body. Edit
- Lloyd asks Elaine if she's sure she doesn't want any of the yogurt. She says no, and then Lloyd puts the bowl down and says he's ready to go. If he's finished, how could offer some to Elaine, and if he isn't finished, why is he leaving the rest on the table? Edit
- George told Lloyd that his arm spasms began after he banged his arm into a desk. He later asked Elaine to back up that story. However, when she reluctantly confirms the story to Lloyd, she says that George banged his arm against a door. Although it's possible that it's Elaine who accidentally said door instead of desk, Lloyd doesn't seem to notice the mistake. As such, it's most likely a goof by the writers, or by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- If Dinkins had won, the character of Jackie Chiles might not have existed. Dinkins declined to appear in person, so actor Phil Morris (who plays Jackie) was going to be used as a spokesman for Dinkins in the episode. Edit
- Since the episode was going to air days after the New York City mayoral election, the production crew's solution was to produce two different versions of the episode: -One in which Dinkins won. -One in which Giuliani won. The cast would record a line mentioning Dinkins, followed by the same line, with Dinkins's name substituted with Giuliani's. After Giuliani was declared the winner, the corresponding version aired on television. Giuliani's cameo was filmed on the morning after his victory. Both versions of the episode were included on the Season 5 DVD. Edit
- The Season 5 DVD set featured deleted scene with Lloyd appearing in the last scene in the yogurt shop, defending his name tag idea and telling George to stop faking the arm movement, and George argues that it's now real. He then leaves, disgusted by the new non-fat yogurt. When Newman walks out saying, "I can't eat this!," the man next to him viewed only from back is actually Lloyd. Edit

- Frank: (to Lloyd) You discussed George with the Mayor of New York?!? Edit
- Elaine: You know what I would do if I was running for mayor? One of my campaign themes would be that everybody should wear nametags all the time to make the city friendlier. Edit
- Kramer: Hey, fatso, I got a 90 in biology. Edit

- Jerry: You know who I saw wilding today? Herb! Wilding was the name ascribed in the late 1980s to the thankfully brief trend of gangs of teens committing extreme violence in Central Park simply for violence's sake. Edit
