Paul - I remember you pointing out the blacked out Mail Pouch thermometer at 
Wally's and believe I saw what appears to be the same thermometer on the wall 
by Mort's Clothing shop where Barney took down Eddie Brooke in "Barney Gets His 
Man".

No good theory on Alpha Bits beyond someone thinking ahead to reruns and future 
sponsors who would not like their competition appearing in the background. They 
needed a trained noticer for the visible 40% Bran Flakes. Product placement in 
movies and TV sure has come a long way. I always find it interesting how canned 
drinks are placed on table or in someone's hand as they drink it.
