Is there any prop that actually has an inside joke or history to it?

TL;DRBen Curtis says the team sometimes slips in homages without giving specifics, and Jared Huckaby cites a hangar flair bottle called Disco Lando Fever Syrup from the Locker from Another Universe.

There are a few things that we put in that are fun to us. So we might pay homage to things. I don't know sometimes whether or not they're too subtle, maybe. But making video games, that's one of the luxuries you get, I guess: you get to put your spin on things sometimes. Obviously you've got to be careful; everything needs to work in fiction. You don't want to break that immersion. But there are definitely things where we think, oh yeah, we're making a particular set of assets and it'd be cool if it was this, because that pays homage back to a particular movie or a particular game or any of that sort of stuff. I don't want to get into specifics.

You mentioned you don't want things that break the immersion in the game, and I couldn't help but feel like you were talking about a locker. Were you talking about the Locker from Another Universe?

Oh, no, I wasn't.

Back when Behaviour was working for us, they were making a lot of the hangar flair, and they actually created a sub-flair called the Locker from Another Universe. It's three lockers, and you go through and there are things like Mark Skelton's gold jacket. And one of the things in there is a bottle prop called Disco Lando Fever Syrup. And it was in there before I got hired in.
