The Tail Section

JoeMomma passed on an interesting tidbit on Henry Gale’s gondola in the forums.

I’m not sure if anyone else out there is a Stephen King fan, but we know that the fake Henry Gayle is!

If you look at the new picture that is posted of the baloon capsule it shows the opposite side of where the Widmore Labs logo is. Here you see that the capsuls is from Minnesota Metallurgy, and that is was proudly sponsored by Mr. Clucks Chicken Shack, and non other than Nozz-a-la Cola.

Stephen King has a practice of creating his own brand names for the King Universe and Nozz-a-la is one of those brands. I beleive it was introduced in the Dark Tower 4 and can also be found many other places since most King works have some kind of connection to one another, just like a lot of things in LOST. You can also see Nozz-a-la Cola in the TV mini series Kindom Hospital.

I just thought it was really odd that the Fake Henry asked Locke for any Stephen King books, and then it appears that one of Kings fake brand names appears on the back of the baloon. You never see something like this out side of something that King is personally involved in.

I have heard that the writers have an affinity for King, but does anyone think that this could mean more? I mean why would they put somehting in the show that only a big Stephen King fan would know?
