The text on the button "We Will Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse" is a reference to the much-repeated line in the classic The Godfather trilogy, written by Mario Puzo.

The first occurrence of the line "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" was in the scene when Johnny Fontane, a famous singer passing his prime, asked Don Vito Corleone, the Godfather, for help to secure him a role to boost his fading career. Don told Johnny not to worry about the head of the film studio and said: 

"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

Then in the most memorable scene of the movie, the studio head wakes up to find the bloody head of his racehorse in his bed, and Fontane is subsequently given the part.

Chuck Daugherty's biggest promotion for his Detroit-based nighttime radio show, All Night Satellite, came in the form of “Moon Goon” buttons distributed at Daugherty's DJ dances, which were collected by local teens who listened to the show and could be seen all around the city. The show was known for its outer space sounds and wacky jokes, and quickly became popular among younger listeners in the late 1950s.

The use of the word "cool" as we've come to know it came to be thanks to the jazz scene of the 1940s. This use is often credited to jazz saxophonist, Lester Young. It became a part of the mainstream around the 1950s as it gained popularity with American teenagers.

“Leftover lover” can mean different things depending on the context. In the context of food culture, the term “leftover” was first used in the early 20th century when refrigeration became more common in households, and referred to food that could be kept and consumed at a later time or date. One might enjoy leftover food because of how the flavors can be enhanced overnight due to chemical reactions that take place after cooking and may identify as a “leftover lover.”

In the context of dating culture, a “leftover lover” might be a single “older” person getting reacquainted with the dating landscape, if they even left it to begin with, and might also be referred to as a hopeless romantic. According to a study published by AARP, 50% of adults over 50 are single and actively dating. This can sometimes be regarded with a negative connotation, as in China when the term “leftover women” is used to describe unmarried women who are over 25 years old and therefore considered undesirable by society. Dating can be challenging for older people due to these judgments that people have about aging, as well as insecurities and additional responsibilities such as children. A lot of people find online dating to be an easier way to meet new people, and apps aimed specifically at singles over 50, such as OurTime and SilverSingles, are available as digital dating options.
