In one of the show’s episodes, one of Petrie’s relatives inherits, “30,000 shares in Calvada Cotton.” This was a tribute to the show’s production company (also called Calvada). There’s nothing wrong with a little shameless self-promotion, right? Throwing in a reference to a brand like this was a common way to promote products back in the day.
