Trivia
- Whoopee caps were popular amongst American youth during the 1930s and 40's. Commonly, the child would make one out of one of their father's worn-out fedoras, turned inside out, trimmed, and dyed a vibrant color. After the trend caught on, manufactured whoopee caps could be purchased.
- The hat was originally named Lil' Scamp's Whoopee Cap by the creator.
- This cap looks similar to the one worn by Jughead Jones from Archie Comics.
- The new description of the hat, "You'd have to be a jughead not to realize this cap is the pinnacle of fashion for the discerning youth", also makes the Jughead reference more obvious.
- The hat description was written by Sketch56. It was slightly edited by Valve.
- The Spy has a Fedora, making it seem as if the Scout's dad is the Spy.
- Many players have had the idea of crafting a Spy's Fancy Fedora with a Scout Token to get this hat, but Valve has yet to create this recipe.
- The badges/patches on the hat include:
- Bonk! Atomic Punch Blutonium Berry
- Scout logo
- BLU Streak beer
- Mann Co.
- RED/BLU team logos
- Bonk! Atomic Punch Cherry Fission
- Badland Brawlers
- XXX
- Miniature Dispenser (Enemy Team Color)
