* ProductDisplacement:
** Apparently they weren't allowed to call their soda "Mountain Dew" in season 2, so, according to two of the girls, they personally called it "green caffeine" and "green coffee". The soda bottle also noticeably has the label torn off.
** Some challenges are essentially real games (Kerplunk, Stratego) that are given their own names and Nerd-ified; one of the nerds even pointed out in season 3 that it looked like they were trying to avoid breaking copyright with the Stratego-like challenge, "Pocket Nerds".
** For some reason in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJt8M8J_em0 first official upload]] of "Talk Nerdy To Me", they censored out the "Star Wars" mention.
