Thank you so much for clearing this up! I could have sworn I had heard this before but it was just some weird Decoder Ring/robot vegetable band mashup déjà vu situation!

But you might be thinking about the Underunderstood about the robot vegetable band in grocery stores, or maybe this episode of Decoder Ring: https://slate.com/culture/2019/06/decoder-ring-explores-the-war-between-chuck-e-cheeses-and-showbiz-pizza-place-and-the-fate-of-their-animatronic-characters-including-the-king.html
