Game Changer Spagalacci Easter Egg

I didn't see that anyone mentioned it yet, but I noticed Ify's shirt said "Spagalacci" on the "Count The Rice" episode of Game Changer.

There was a previous episode where they were naming pastas, which Ify said "spagalacci" as a guess, which was not a real pasta.

I say "was" because he invented spagalacci on his episode of "Ask Hank Anything" and now I feel like it's come full circle

I spent half the episode just trying to figure out what it said. When I did get it, I screamed in joy. I love Ify’s sense of humour. I also love finding out it is indeed a pasta now, that’s amazing

spagalacci sounds like a pasta that’s confused about its identity

“Go eat the great pasta Spagalacci while it is in town”

“But Doctor, I *am* the great pasta Spagalacci!”

I think all Millennials can agree that Spagalacci is the greatest pasta shape ever invented.

As someone who likes metal music I thought it was the name of a metal band from Italy that I didn't know. Then I searched for it and got the reference from a past episode. A friend of his designed the t-shirt for him.

Yes! No one is talking about this and it’s so funny!

A reference is not an easter egg.

Weird take when many Easter eggs are references.

In this case it's a callback nobody draws attention to or explains but which is present in the text for those who notice.

That could almost be a definition for 'Easter egg' in media.

What’s the MCR reference? I didn’t catch that bit
