An interesting behind the scenes fact or several

Hi everyone:

I forget where I read this but i remember reading somewhere the following interesting facts about Samā€™s famous ā€œbutter sockā€ 1) the sock contains ZERO butter: according to where I read the butter in the sock was actually batteries wrapped in some sort of padding. The purpose of the batteries was to give it actual weight. 2) the original idea was a sock full of quarters but the network shot that idea down out of concern that kids watching would attempt to immitate it.

Other interesting facts that surprised me which are unrelated to butter sock shenanigans were: 1) there was only one of the Samā€™s remote prop 2) all the screenshots of computer UIs were edited in after the fact as the computer screens are nothing more than green screens

With those facts, I am curious what other interesting behind the scenes facts you all might have?
