- Xander mentions Disneyland.
- Buffy compares herself to Betty Crocker, a fictional character used in advertising campaigns for food and recipes.
- Xander mentions fictional superhero Superman, and his planet's element, Krypton.
- Xander mentions Hell's Kitchen, a cookery reality TV show, first aired in 2004 (in the UK) and 2005 (in the USA).This may be considered a mistake, since this story takes place during the first season of Buffy, in 1997.
