Yesterday, thanks to a friend, I became aware of a Sorghum reference from the great TV show Cheers. I found it a bit ironic after founding my last company, The Black and White Cookie Company, with its namesake even more famous for its Seinfeld “Look to the Cookie!” reference and now have a new company and a new popular sitcom shout-out to exploit.
While a huge fan of Cheers and having seen each episode at least twice, this slipped my mind. Thank you Robert for bringing it back to my attention. Here it is for all you sorghum & Cheers fans:

Deliveryman #2: I got a truck-load of sorghum for a Sam Malone.
Sam Malone: [yells] I didn’t say I wanted sorghum, I said I wanted some more gum.
Sam Malone: [referring to the machine on which he made the order] God, I hate those things.
Deliveryman #2: It’s not my problem. Where did you want me to put this?
Sam Malone: Wh… , I don’t know. What is sorghum anyway?
Woody Boyd: It’s grain, Sam. It’s used to feed livestock.
Sam Malone: [referring to the guys at the bar] Say, if I put it in a bowl, would those guys eat it?
Woody Boyd: Are you kidding, I was late putting out the beer nuts last night, and Mr. Peterson almost snapped off my thumb.
Sam Malone: Fill ’em up.
