The Muppets Take Manhattan predicted, inspired, or at least predated (BUT COME ON) a whole lot of pop culture things. Not only did this one movie delineate the premise of Ratatouille, preemptively invent the catchphrase "Where's the Beef," and write the character of Don Draper, it also amazingly "[p]redicted Actual Arthur Christmas Predicted Actual Hugo Predicted Actual Another terrific turnout for the predictions All three were wins and The Muppets."

There are three kinds of pop culture things. The ones the Muppets did first, the ones the Simpsons did first and the ones Shakespeare did first. (Well, there are also things that originated in the Koran, but we ignore them these days)

Am I right in thinking that the last link is a word salad spam blog?

I don't know, but this is mostly because I have no idea what aion kinah is and why I would want to buy some. I'm guessing perfectly mundane east Asian vegetable sold as miracle food to gullible westerners.
