#34I find it wonderfully clichee that the guy who's job was linking vendors and customers was called Mr. Link.

I came back here to comment this exact thing, this was a very confusing line.
I wasn’t around in 1993 but I’m pretty positive my parents and grandparents ate eggs in 1993.
I guess this line made more sense in the context of other news articles at the time.

#38> Often he and the hostess, Bernice Philbin, would be the first two people there, and they would have a polite conversation before Irving took his place in his booth—the first half circle to your left as you came in—and ordered breakfast: scrambled eggs back in the days when people ate eggs, and, more recently, banana and granola with skim milk. TIL that my last 30+ years of egg eating has been a faux pas.
This might have been during the "eggs are bad for you" part of the egg cycle. So it's kind of a tongue-in-cheek jab at contemporary cultural mores.
My favorite part was when eggs were bad, then were good, then were bad again. Then people stopped talking about them at all.
It was a very informative time for me personally.

Eggs had a rough go of it in the 90s. There were studies where it seemed like even looking at an egg would cause your cholesterol to sky rocket and kill you.
The fed a bunch of cholesterol to rabbits who then got heart disease. But it turns out you’re not a rabbit and dietary cholesterol has nowhere near the same effect on humans.

And also rabbits do not normally eat eggs, in fact aren’t even carnivores.
