In many countries, food products must have their {{w|Nutrition facts label|ingredients displayed}} somewhere on their packaging. Because all the ingredients in any food are either hydrogen or heavier atoms created through stellar nuclear fusion from hydrogen over time, the ingredients of any items can technically be described fully as only being made from hydrogen and time. Thus this label would be the universal label. A pun on two of the meanings of the word [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/universal universal]. Any food is of course ''universal'' as in a part of the universe. But the label can also be a ''universal'' label as in a common label for all food or any other product in the universe, as well as the universe itself for that {{w|matter}}. | In many countries, food products must have their {{w|Nutrition facts label|ingredients displayed}} somewhere on their packaging.

β | The title text | + | The title text is a pun on the words {{w|thyme}} (a herb) and {{w|time}}, as the two words are {{w|homophones}}. Also, "H" is the chemical symbol for hydrogen. So the word "thyme" can be made by adding the letter "h" to the letters "tyme", even closer to the word time and also homophone to it. |
[[Randall]] previously made a joke on the fact that thyme and time are homophones in [[282: Organic Fuel]]. | [[Randall]] previously made a joke on the fact that thyme and time are homophones in [[282: Organic Fuel]]. |
