Cultural references
- The story's title is a pun on "wedge issue", a term for a social or political issue which is by nature divisive and/or controversial and thus creates a split, or "wedge", in a voting bloc.
- Lisa and Alex Whitney have a stand where they sell "Organic Free-Range Lemonade".
- Lisa cites the proverb, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade", which gves Milhouse the idea for his wedgie business.
- Milhouse's wedgie business, World Wide Wedgie, is a parody of the Geek Squad as well as a pun on the World Wide Web.
- After his business takes off, Milhouse is seen sitting in front of a sign which reads, "Over 33 Million Served!", a reference to McDonald's.
