The matchbox label goes from “Ohio blue tip” to “Ohio cyan tip” in the last panel, lol

I'll have to be that guy and ask for the joke to be explained, I don't get it

I don’t know that there’s a joke exactly, but “Ohio Blue Tip” is a real brand of matches, where cyan tip is not. Could just be a gaffe

I got a reply:

Yeah, I used to sometimes do silly little things like that to amuse myself while working

Not holding my breath for a response, but I just asked Bill about the name change.

For anyone thinking, wow this storyline is a foxtrot version of Jurassic Park:

Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Michael Crichton and David Koepp, based on Crichton's 1990 novel.

I always like reading trivia sections of wikis that might have cultural references, continuity, etc, like those in Rick and Morty

I couldn't find one for Foxtrot, if there is one, let me know

So, from what I could gather:
Kingsford is a brand that makes charcoal briquettes, along with related products, used for grilling. Established in 1920 by Henry Ford, it's still in operation and has a staggering 80% market share in the USA

Ohio Blue Tip might be a reference to the Ohio Blue Tip matches (TIL there's a match museum) from the Ohio Match Company, which was founded in 1895 and was the second oldest match manufacturer in the United States. It went out of business in 1987. The Blue Tip brand is still out there, probably owned by some megacorp
