Character mistake: Pam attends her first class and notices she is in the wrong class. Written on the whiteboard is the title of the course and the name of the teacher. While obscured, you can see it is supposed to say "Professor Monaghan." Written on the whiteboard is: "Proffe [obscured] ghan." Professor is spelled with one F. (00:09:05)
Michael Scott: This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here.
Trivia: Four of the regularly appearing secondary characters have the same first name as the actress or actor that plays her or him: Angela (Angela Kinsey), Oscar ('Oscar Nunez'), Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) and Creed (Creed Bratton).
Question: When Angela is buying the Baby Ruths, most of the other candies are turned backwards (I assume to avoid product placement). But above the Baby Ruth is one with the name facing forward that looks like it's called "Picaroon." Is this a real candy bar that's local to the Scranton area or just completely made up? If it's made up, any inside information about where the name came from or if there's an inside joke or show reference to it?
Answer: In the 2007 episode "Ben Franklin" when Jim is talking to Pam there is a candy bar with a purple wrapper that says "Picar-" I assume picaroon, it's hard to see past Pam. I found this trying to investigate what that candy bar is lol.
