I once heard on TV that your father was the center of the universe and
his name was "Snap". The TV said, "Snap, Kreckel's pop, makes the
world go round."

Sorry for being dumb. Maybe I should consider buying a TV set...

It was just a joke on the advertising slogan "Snap, Crackel, Pop",
which I thought everyone in the world would have heard of.

No, preserve your innocence!
