[edit] World Leaders' End Tags
One of the company's distinct features are the end tags featured during the close of The Venture Bros, of which several distinct ones aired during the second and third seasons. Each features a world leader (past or present) commenting about soup, which serves as a reference to the company's former name and brand (the Noodlesoup end tag was an animated child declaring, "That's good soup!"). These quotes include Fidel Castro exclaiming "Qué sopa mas buena!" ("What good soup!"), Marie Antoinette declaring "Qu'ils mangent de la soupe" ("Let them eat soup"), Napoleon Bonaparte pronouncing "Ca, c'est un sacre bon soupe" ("This is some damn good soup"), Queen Elizabeth I announcing "That's bloody good soup!" and John F. Kennedy stating "That's good chowder".
