Mike Levey makes an uncredited appearance at the beginning in the segment with Joey using the Milk Master 2000. Largely forgotten now, he was a popular media figure in the 1990's, who was frequently seen on television infomercials promoting new products with an overly enthusiastic manner, complete with an array of colorful sweaters. It's interesting that the product featured here is now commonly found pre-installed on many milk and juice cartons sold in the U.S.
The doll Ben has is the 1995 Winter Sports Barbie.
At the end of the episode while Monica is eating ice cream, there is a kiwi strawberry drink sitting next to her. Ross gets up to drink it but in season 2 we learn that Ross is allergic to kiwi.
At the end of the episode, Monica reminds Ross of a song that he made up and used to sing when he was a kid: "I am Bea, I drink tea. Won't you dance around with me?" It has the same tune as the "Barney Song". It's the tune of the old rhyme "This Old Man".
