Fer them folks out there who aren't Murcian, lemme just say that there crack about Degenerate Mills refers to a very large Murican food company that cranks out lots and lots of breakfast cereals as well as tons of other stuff that people like to eat and pretend they et somethin actually good for ya.
Not that yer going to chow down, blow a gasket, and start to twitch or something, but some folks like to wonder. Just saying.

Original reference to Degenerate Mills (a couple of cereal commercials) is here: (the "Radio Phil" section of the first Congress of Wonders album).
There are some other Congress of Wonders bits on YouTube - search for "Star Trip", "Stoned Ranger", "Pigeon Park".

“No. Something even more insidious than that; HTE produced products that were inexpensive and surprisingly high in quality.”

Douglas Adams wrote:"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", in a moment of reasoned lucidity which is almost unique among its current tally of five million, nine hundred and seventy-three thousand, five hundred and nine pages, says of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation products that "it is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all. In other words – and this is the rock-solid principle on which the whole of the Corporation's Galaxywide success is founded – their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws."

"Sink" is friggin' adorable, and speaking as a bald guy - a not-tall, chubby one at that - I scoff derisively at those who would complain about such a thing. It was clearly not Johnson & Johnson's intent to make such a portrayal, and those who say it was are WAY too sensitive.
