Episode 7 -- Junior Mints Controversy Settled -- Chet Rips Off Jacques Pepin -- Salute to Cousin Eddie
Junior Mints, that much maligned little button of chocolate and mint has long been the target of rumor and false innuendo. Do they really make you fart? Chet and his team of food professionals took the question to the streets to find the truth. Conducting exit polls at major Harkins and AMC mogoliths, a two week study was conducted during the height of movie season, Christmas vacation. Taking the information gathered from the exit polls, Chet and his crew followed scientific formulae one step further and conducted home tests in Chets TV room. The results are as follows:
1. Junior Mints by themselves are not an incitment. The mint is actually a relaxant that helps the escape of excess gas...foul gas that has already accumulated in the bowel.
2. The real culprit of "movie gas" is actually a combination of popcorn and air taken in during the act of eating the popcorn and that bubbly soda used to wash down that butter and salt laden snack. People who are handful to mouth popcorn eaters suffer bigger bouts of flatus than those that pick and chew the popcorn one or two kernels at a time, usually females on a first date. Note: drinking the soda thru a straw will reduce the intake of air, decreasing the formulation of gas.
Conclusion: The volatile combination of "bubbly" soda, mixed with the popcorn catalyst and followed by the relaxant Junior Mint will cause 'cheek lifting and check the shorts' flatulence on a major scale.

Great Moments in Cinema -- Salute to Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid, Vegas Vacation)
Cousin Eddie: I haven't seen a beatin' like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose.
Clark Griswold: Eddie, has anyone ever told you you're bad luck?
Cousin Eddie: Those were my mother's dying words. But I guess if your body's covered in third degree burns, and your foot's caught in a bear trap, you tend to start talkin' crazy.
