Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, the subtitle says, 'Bordeaux, 1900', pertaining to the origin of the grapes which would make 'a wine fit for the Holy Father himself'. When Manny picks up said bottle later in the episode, the label says, 'Appellation Bourgogne Controlée', which means the wine was made in Burgundy, and not Bordeaux.

Chosen answer: You may be thinking of S3E1, "Manny Come Home", when Manny quits and gets a job at Goliath Books next door. The device they use to scan books, look up items, or even order muffins is referred to as the "Doo-Deedee-Doo," after the sound it makes when employees scan their cards in it.
