Explanations

• An email forwarded because it was "on the news" or "worth a shot" is a reference to a myriad of urban legends, in particular the something-for-nothing forward hoax.
• "Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food" include such items as Ritz Bits, M&M's Minis, Hershey's Bites, and M&M/Mars' Pop'ables.
• Real life "songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics" include "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam, "Hey Jude" by The Beatles and "Let's Live for Today" by the Grass Roots.
• Limozeen's song is likely a reference on the recent Live 8 or older Live Aid concerts/albums. The title "Feed the Childrens" is also similar to the "Feed the Children" songs played at these events.
• Chocolate desserts with dangerous names include desserts like Death by Chocolate, Chocolate Suicide, and Chocolate Avalanche.

Trivia

• The sign on Strong Mad's closet reads "STRONG MAD RD."
• This is the first email without any Easter eggs since Email #39, property of ones.
