Trivia

The grocery store used is called Jungle Jim's. It has won awards for having the best restrooms in Ohio, the largest single collection of wine and hot sauces in Ohio, and also numerous other honors for its decor and eccentric originality. This includes a piece of a monorail from the former Cincinnati theme park Paramount's King's Island, and a collection of Cincinnati Reds stadium seats from former Riverfront Stadium.
