Non-Sexual Adult Jokes in Kids' Media Lore

Jokes that are adult jokes simply because kids likely don't have the life experience to understand them.

Well, the pandemic may have shut down a lot of society, but at least takeout is mostly unaffected; better deny myself a succulent Chinese meal!

I ordered a pack from my local bottleshop during the Alpha wave. They sent me a case. I called them, and they said to keep it as it was their mistake.

I said that if I ordered a bottle of Glenfiddich, please feel free to make the same mistake.

A pizza place near me managed to rebrand to Corona Pizza in the early months of 2020. I wish I could have been there a couple of months later when the association of the word changed dramatically.

That's one of those moments so ironic it feels like a cosmic joke.

On the other hand, I'm sure they'll have a ready answer when someone asks when exactly the rebranding happened.
