When Tom said "Don't You Believe It!" it is a reference to a radio program from the late-thirties and early forties. The program, hosted by Alan Kent and later Tobe Reed, introduced unique facts along with debunking popular myths, followed by its tagline "Don't you believe it!" The program was sponsored by the Lorillard Tobacco Company, promoting "Sensation" cigarettes.
