Episode notes
Runza Is Nebraska's Iconic Handheld
- Runza is a Nebraska staple blending baked dough with meat and cabbage, closer to a hand‑held sandwich than a pierogi.
- The state spawned a Runza fast‑food chain with ~90 locations across five states.

- Remington's dark green branding earned the nickname Big Green and is intentionally used across guns and ammo packaging.
- The company embraced the nickname with branded products like Big Green gun safes.
