** In "When You Dish Upon a Star", a movie company executive hands Ron Howard two of these after he pitches Homer's movie idea. The frame freezes on Ron holding them with a toothy smile as the Happy Days intro plays.

A Thief Bag is a bag containing loot, often seen in the presence of thieves who [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment are thieving it.]] They tend to differ by region: Britain uses a large burlap bag marked "swag", America uses a white bag with a dollar sign on it, and Japan mainly uses green bags with white swirls that tie over the face (which some fans will demand be called furoshiki).
