When Skittles debuted in 1974, the original lineup featured red, orange, yellow, green, and purple candies, notably excluding blue. This omission was primarily due to the limited availability of stable, safe blue food dyes at the time. Blue 1, also known as Brilliant Blue FCF, had been approved earlier but wasn`t widely adopted in confectionery during the 1970s. Consequently, Skittles opted for other vibrant colors. Over the years, blue Skittles have appeared in special editions, such as the "Tropical" and "Wild Berry" packs, but they remain absent from the original mix.

Chuck Barris was the eccentric creator and host of *The Gong Show*, a wacky 1970s talent competition that became a cult classic. Airing from 1976 to 1980, the show featured bizarre and often hilarious acts, judged by a celebrity panel who could "gong" contestants mid-performance. Barris, known for his offbeat humor and nervous energy, became a pop culture icon. He later claimed to have been a CIA assassin in his book *Confessions of a Dangerous Mind*, adding to his enigmatic legacy.

Scrapple is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dish with origins in German settlers` cuisine. It dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries when European immigrants sought ways to use every part of the pig. Made from pork scraps, cornmeal, and spices like sage and black pepper, scrapple is boiled into a mush, then cooled and sliced for frying. Popular in the Mid-Atlantic, it reflects a resourceful, nose-to-tail approach to cooking and remains a regional favorite today.

Robert Smigel made a lasting impact on Saturday Night Live as a writer and creator of several iconic sketches. He co-wrote William Shatner’s famous “Get a Life” sketch, which humorously mocked obsessive Star Trek fans. Smigel also helped create Da Bears sketches, featuring the Chicago superfan characters obsessed with sports and sausage among countless others. He left SNL to be the first head writer on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, where he created and performed Triumph, The Insult Comic Dog.

On December 17, 1977, Elvis Costello was banned from Saturday Night Live after defying producers. Scheduled to perform “Less Than Zero,” Costello abruptly stopped the song after a few seconds and launched into “Radio, Radio,” a protest song criticizing corporate control of music. The unexpected move angered NBC executives, leading to his ban from the show for nearly 12 years. Costello’s rebellious act, however, became legendary, and he was eventually invited back to SNL in 1989.

On October 11, 1975, legendary comedian George Carlin hosted the very first episode of Saturday Night Live. Known for his sharp wit and countercultural humor, Carlin delivered multiple stand-up monologues but did not participate in sketches due to his insecurities as an actor. The episode featured musical guests Billy Preston and Janis Ian, as well as the debut of the original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players." Carlin’s edgy, observational comedy set the to for for SNL`s irreverent, groundbreaking style.

Created in 1920 to represent the African diaspora, the Pan-African flag features three horizontal stripes in red, black, and green. Designed by Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the flag symbolizes unity and pride. Red represents the bloodshed of African people in their struggle for freedom, black symbolizes the people and their identity, and green signifies the rich natural wealth of Africa. It remains a powerful emblem of Pan-Africanism and liberation.

Animal, the wild, frenzied drummer of The Muppet Show, was inspired by rock and jazz drummers known for their energetic performances. Many believe he was influenced by Keith Moon of The Who, whose chaotic style and antics mirrored Animal’s unpredictable nature. Other inspirations include Ginger Baker and John Bonham, drummers famed for intensity and showmanship. With his wild hair, manic energy, and primal drumming, Animal embodies the untamed spirit of rock and roll percussion.
