[edit] Items
[edit] Hostess Cupcakes and Fig Newtons
These snack foods appear in the comics every so often. According to an untitled comic where Sam and Max goes to Heaven, Hostess Cupcakes are a heavenly food.
[edit] "Cheap, Evil Smelling Beer"
These are seen being destroyed in the Fizzball comic tutorial, and also appear in Bosco's store in Telltale's Season 1.
This, and other instances where Sam and Max order something non-alcoholic when alcohol is readily available, indicates the belief that they don't drink. Although in Culture Shock Max mentions that he had gotten drunk before.
[edit] "Cold Treats"
Sam is often seen holding ice cream or a popsicle of one form or another. He is seen holding a orange popsicle on the cover of the Fishwrap Comic and on the cover of Bad Day on the Moon he has an ice cream cone. Ont he cover of the animated series DVD, Sam is holding a chocolate-dipped ice cream.
[edit] "Chimps"
Chimps are a snack food that comes in a yellow sealed bag. Whatever it contains, it is "80% crushed".
They've been seen in the animated series (The Glazed McGuffin Affair) and the Telltale games (Bright Side of the Moon).
[edit] Other
[edit] The name "Bosco"
It first appeared in the comic "On the Road", Chapter 2 "I Love a Band Leader". It was the name of a singing tick at "Captain Quasimodo's Island of Amusement". The name was also used in Hit the Road for the shop on the corner of Sam and Max's street.
Since there is now an actual character named Bosco in the Telltale games, it is unlikely the name will be used randomly anymore, to avoid confusion with the character.
[edit] The Pillsbury Doughboy
The Pillsbury Doughboy appears in a few episodes in the animated series as an action figure in Big Trouble at the Earth's Core and a framed picture in That Darn Gator.
