MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Sheldon at first declines coffee telling Penny "Coffee's out of the question. When I moved to California, I promised my mother I'd stay away from drugs." In The Big Bran Hypothesis (#1.02), Sheldon is seen pouring himself a cup of coffee and adding milk to it.
CHAR: Sheldon estimates that Penny, making and selling "Penny Blossoms", would earn $2,600 a year, before taxes. Penny protests: "I don't have to pay taxes on this stuff!" Sheldon: "I believe the Internal Revenue Service would strongly disagree." In reality, if the $2,600 were Penny's only income, it would fall well below the minimum threshold required by the IRS to file an income-tax return, which was $8,950 for tax year 2008 (according to IRS publication 501).

TRIVIA

Howard mentions that some type of cyanoacrylate would make a better adhesive. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are more commonly known as super glue or crazy glue as small amounts dry quickly to create powerful bonds.
A Penny Blossoms website was created as described
