      • They name their caramel corn "Crazy Crunch". Edit

    • Notes

      ADD NOTES
      • I Love Lucy Redux Lucy and Viv argue over what to name the popcorn. Lucy wants "Carmichael's Carmel Corn" and Viv wants "Vivian's Carmel Corn." This is a rehash of the argument in the episode The Girls Go Into Business where Lucy wants top billing in the dress shop ("Lucyeth's") and Ethel wants her name to lead ("Ethelu's"). Edit

      • Viv: Officer, just a minute. Did you happen to take a bite of that Crazy Crunch? Sgt. Robbins: Yes, ma'am. Viv: How'd 'ya like it? Sgt. Robbins: Well, to tell you the truth, it's not as good as Cracker Jack. Viv: (livid)Now just a minute...! Edit
      • (Lucy and Viv plan to tell the cops they're ignorant women to avoid trouble) Lucy: We'll just tell 'em we're a couple of dumb Doras. They'll always believe that women are stupid. Viv: Oh, no you don't! You're not going to let me take the rap because I'm a man! I'm just as stupid as you are! Edit
