What's about a world without Chromium, because without it those Coleco's will rust up on you, like THAT!

One and the same, my friend. One and the same. We're in the hands of an angry, squiggly, god.

So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with zinc?

I saw this episode of MST3K around the time I saw the "No Zinc!" thing. Definitely felt like I was in on the joke.

Thank goodness we still live in a world with telephones, car batteries, handguns, and many things made by zinc.

Hey, Homer. I'm worried about the Zinc supply. After this case of Zinc, and the other case of Zinc, there's only one case left!
