Fitting Curious!!!

It depends on the typeface of noble gas in the tube. Neon (orange-red) and argon (blue) are the most commonly adapted to. The other noble gases (krypton- (pink), xenon (lavendar), helium (peach)) are rarer.

The Simpsons is probably one of our most enduring exports- it’d be inescapable to go to a country on the globe where the characters aren’t recognized. Even in 1992 my inexperienced mind knew how out of touch the then-campaigning George Bush Sr. was when he said that Americans “…needed to be closer to the Waltons than the Simpsons.” He accursed that election to the more media savvy Bill Clinton- pop culture affecting Presidential political science.
