"The Rye" For The Avid Viewers Quiz

Answer: Lindsay

Kramer buys a 4lb can of black Lindsay olives. The Lindsay Olives brand is owned by Bell-Carter Foods, Inc., the largest table olive producer in the U.S. and the second largest in the world. Roland, Goya and Provence are also real brands.

Answer: $17.50

According to Kramer: "$17.50. You can't beat that." In "Behind The Scenes", writer Carol Leifer reveals that the idea of using the Price Club (known for its sale of bulk products at discount prices) as a gag came long before writing for this episode had begun.

Her original storyline was for George to buy Susan's engagement ring at the Price Club. To all the Georges and Kramers who don't already know, note that after merging with its rival, Price Club stores have since been rebranded as Costco!

Answer: A muffin

George Costanza may be described as the most neurotic, deceptive, selfish, dishonest, impulsive and insecure of the main characters. However, the willingness of his friends to assist with his elaborate schemes casts great doubt upon their own levelheadedness.

Here are some similar situations from other episodes: In "The Phone Message", Jerry switches the answering machine tape of George's girlfriend. Elaine helps him "slip a mickey" into his boss' drink in "The Revenge" and even takes an IQ test in his place in "The Cafe".

In "The Slicer", Kramer pretends to be a doctor in order to take a photo of George's boss. In Seinland, bread is common bait!

Answer: Bradley's

At the start of the scene in which Elaine explains to her boyfriend that she never actually said they were 'hot and heavy', an external shot of the club is shown.

Answer: Rowena

Of course, they are having Cornish game hen (not a little chicken). Although perhaps not as quibbling and rackety as George's parents, Susan's parents don't seem to let pass each other's flaws either.

Answer: Pop cans and boxes of cereal

In typical Kramer fashion, he falls, dropping two boxes of canned drinks and two boxes of cereal - Raisin Bran and Special K. Jerry isn't the only one who likes cereal...

Answer: $6.00

Jerry: "All right. Look, I'll tell ya what, I'll give you $50. Now, be reasonable - you cannot turn down $50 for a $6 rye." The idea of the old lady, Mabel Choate, buying the last marble rye and Jerry subsequently stealing it, was not originally scripted.

However, according to Jerry Seinfeld in "Behind The Scenes", Larry David insisted that there had to be another obstacle in the storyline - at the bakery - in order to really deliver the comic punch they were hoping for. Of course Larry was right!

Answer: Interesting

While she may agree that he is interesting, Elaine does not use this word to describe John Germaine. In the opening scene the audience can hear her thinking that he is "so cool" and she later tells Jerry that he is "terrific". When Jerry asks whether he is spongeworthy, she responds, "Oh, yeah."

Answer: 34

Kramer had purchase 50 cans total of Beef-A-Reeno. 16 cans of the stuff consumed so quickly? Oh dear...

Answer: Reading

Despite being no more than four seconds long, the screen clip of the bread flying past the window and the couple's quizzical expressions (well, the entire 'rye' storyline really) encapsulates the surrealist mania of this show and the extent to which the characters (especially George) would go to fulfill their juvenile devices.
