There was a cracking Battlestar Galactica in-joke on "Neighbours" today.

Elle has to sell the coffee shop. A multinational coffee shop chain was
interested. The chain was obviously based on Starbuck's. The name of the
chain? "Apollo's". LOL

You mean like when Karl was giving wedding planning advice to Steve
Parker saying have a picnic, that way the guests bring their own food,
and instead of printing invitations, just send requests on that ever
popular social networking website "MyFace"

I PMSL at that!

Wouldn't that have been an "in-joke" on Starbuck's then? Or did they take
their name from the original series of BSG? :-)

The whole family all have fish-related nicknames. It was mentioned years
ago. So not really an "in" joke; just an old plot-line.
