Haagen-Dazs is definitely a clue, and the name is a key element.
Tacos might just refer to what they all ate one night while working.
A Case of cracker jack means several boxes. "Candy-covered popcorn, peanuts and a prize - that's what you get with Cracker Jack" according to their jingle.

And Dave may have just bumped his head, and Bill's having an inside chuckle over it.

Every year, I am amazed at the creativity and deviousness of the GDC, how masterfully well they do their job. I hope everyone realizes just how difficult an engineering problem it is, designing an FRC game. You have time, budget, size & weight constraints, it needs to be scored easily, be exciting for a crowd, tens of thousands of game pieces need to be available (worldwide!), and lots more. If you get a chance to meet anyone on the GDC, even though they have the best job in the world, be sure to thank them.
