In the episode “Touch-Down Tommy” of the animated show “Rugrats,” dad Stu tries to ease mom Didi’s concerns about him and the other dads watching the babies during the “Ultra Bowl” while she’s out by inventing the Bonk-o-Matic Baby Bumper ― essentially a helmet made from materials around the house. While the dads are glued to the big game on the TV, the babies get into their own hijinks with a bottle of chocolate milk, but the babies all remain safe thanks to the Bonk-o-Matic Baby Bumper.
Although less comical than seeing a bunch of babies and toddlers wearing makeshift helmets, food safety measures has prompted beverage manufacturers to take a greater look at the different ways to protect the integrity, efficacy and safety of their products, such as the utilization of food-grade lubricants.
