Star Wars
I bought a box of Coco Pops the other day (shut up). When I got home I started shoving stuff into random cupboards carefully storing my purchases. As I was doing this I noticed the 'specially marked' box of Coco Pops promoting a Jedi Mindgame.
Let me say right now that I have never seen any of the Star Wars franchise movies. I don't mind sci-fi, but I am less likely to see anything when it is hyped up too much. However, I am aware of the genre it inhabits, so I was expecting this Jedi Mindgame thingy to be some sort of high tech Gameboy gizmo you had to collect tokens (from specially marked boxes) to get a discount on. Nuh uhh. It's just that old 'match the pairs' memory game, using Star Wars characters as the pairs. Lame. Especially as you don't get all the pairs on one box, but have to collect them from... Specially Marked Boxes. But.
The Jedi Mind Game did give me a piece of information. There is a character in Star Wars called General Grievous. Did Tayler Kane's character get promoted? I didn't know that the Fire Brigade had Generals.
Script sample;
General Grievous: Grievous likes Grievous's mask. Grievous's mask is way cooler than Darth Vader's.
