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 badges/patches on the hat include: Bonk! Atomic Punch Blutonium Berry, the Scout logo, BLU Streak beer, Mann Co., RED and BLU team logos, Bonk! Atomic Punch Cherry Fission, Badland Brawlers, XXX and a Miniature Dispenser (Enemy team colour).
- It is common among owners of this hat to paint it gold, and name it something along the lines of "King's Crown," as when painted gold, it resembles a golden crown.
