Trivia: The newsletter about the 80's party says "hopefully you will find a lot of useless information contained herein that will help you do your job better, faster, and quicker and cheaper and happier." It then goes on to say "as anyone can easily tell, this newsletter doesn't really have a lot to say. It's really just a prop to fill some space and sorta look like a newsletter without really being much of a newsletter at all."

Trivia: When Michael is in Mr. Figaro's office, there's a flyer for Terry's Diner. This is a real diner located near Scranton (Moosic, PA) and the flyer has the diner's actual phone number (minus the 570 area code). It could also be a clue that Michael's 2nd job isn't in Scranton.
Answer: In the 2007 episode "Ben Franklin" when Jim is talking to Pam there is a candy bar with a purple wrapper that says "Picar-" I assume picaroon, it's hard to see past Pam. I found this trying to investigate what that candy bar is lol.
