When Stan asks "If only there was a place where you could make outrageous claims, without any proof, and millions of people would accept it as fact...", then the scene flips to Steve typing up an article on "Wikipedia" on his home computer. The title of the article is "The Truth about Peanut Butter". All articles on the real Wikipedia related to peanut butter, Mary Todd Lincoln, and the Illuminati including The truth about peanut butter, were protected over the course of several days due to several vandals inserting information gleaned from the episode.
The brands of peanut butter that are featured are parodies of real life peanut butter brands. Robin Hood brand is a parody of Peter Pan, Jiffy is a parody of Jif, and Union Brand is a parody of Planters.
This episode parodies the films National Treasure, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Da Vinci Code.
The episode is dedicated to George Washington Carver, who invented "300 Uses for Peanuts...But Not Peanut Butter." In fact, while George Washington Carver did not invent peanut butter, neither did Mary Todd Lincoln: it was patented by Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal in 1884 and was used by the Aztecs hundreds of years before that.
