Fans discuss a potential continuity error with the black and white cookie in "The Dinner Party," debating whether the cookie's orientation changes between shots despite visible bite marks.

Hi all,

This is my virgin contribution to this newsgroup so please don't shoot me down in flames if my observaton is a bit wrong. Now I reckon in the episode where George has his large Gortex coat taken from him by the Liquor Store owner, and that Jerry ends his 14-year vomit run that there is something wrong with that Black and White cookie that Jerry is eating, and I don't just mean that it made him sick. I'm not sure of the name of this episode, but I'm sure you all know which one I'm talking about. Now did you notice that when Jerry eats this Black and White cookie that the sides change a few times. Now I haven't got a copy of this episode on tape, so I've never looked closely enough, but I think that in some shots the black is on the left and in others the black is on the right. Now I don't think that this is possible because you can also see the bite in the cookie, so there can be only one way round that the cookie goes. Now from memory I think it changes a few times in the whole scene, but you can check for yourself. If anyone has a copy of this episode on tape could they look closely at the part of the episode where Jerry is eating the cookie and explaining the virtues of the Black and White cookie and how it will bring racial harmony. If my hunch is correct then could they email me and tell me as I don't check this newsgroup too often. If my accuation is incorrect then could someone tell me too!! Thanks everyone.

See you in the Cafeteria, John email: [email]

PS By the way this is one of my favourite episodes.

PPS If what I've said is old news then could someone tell me that too!!

Oh, dear God! How would somebody even notice something so trivial? I have a hard time just concentrating my eyes on the screen...

It was not only noticed, but I believe is included in the famous FAQ!

Yeah and did you ever notice that in that one episode, Jerry's standing next to a store and there's a fly on the window and then when they cut back, it's gone. I just love these continuity bloopers. Got any more???

Sure. Check out the SeinFAQ (section 6.0) for more inconsistancies, oddities and about a dozen continuity errors.

Feel free to e-mail me any you've noticed that aren't already listed.
Thanks.

Of course you are correct. I looked at my tape to check it out again and the black is mainly to Jerry's left except 3 shots with black on the right. Also Jerry is already chewing the cookie before the first bite is gone, and later the cookie gains mass back that Jerry already bit off--a striking similarity to Kramer's sucker in The Betrayal.
