-[[Jenny Everywhere (925th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] once got a job undercover as a Kablamazon delivery agent as part of a plan to make them go bankrupt. While undercover, she delivered a [[toaster]] to [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] at the [[M.F.S. office]].

-Though Jenny initially meant to quickly get rid of the CEO, she got side-tracked for a number of months by such adventures as “the time she stole the [[Holy Dog Bowl]] from the [[Werewolf Priests of Mars|Werewolf Priests]] of [[Mars]], or that time she saved [[Doctor Omega (925th Universe)|Doctor Omega]] from the [[Space Roman]]s, or even that time she tried to have a conversation with [[Grant Farrel (925th Universe)|Grant Farrel]]”, the latter being a so-called superhero apparently possessed by the vengeful spirit of the god [[Thor (925th Universe)|Thor]].

+Kablamazon was one of the ethically-dubious sponsors pursued by [[the Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]] for the 2022 [[Interdimensional Pride Parade]]. As expected, they treated it mostly as a cynical merchandising opportunity. One of their backhanded ads notably also presented similarly-cynical well wishes from the [[Kooba Cola Corporation]]; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Series of Queer Events (short story)|A Series of Queer Events]]'') by a later account, at some point prior to [[Christmas]] 2022, Kablamazon had indeed been bought by the [[Kooba Cola Corporation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Very Jenny Over-There Christmas (short story)|A Very Jenny Over-There Christmas]]'') In another [[rotation]] of the Pride events, the Kablamazon ad was longer and doubled as an explicit announcement of the buyout, boasting that “this [would] help to maximise [Kablamazon's] profits by reducing company spending on Kooba Cola products (by virtue of owning every atom that goes into making it) and by splitting workers between Kooba factories and Kablamazon Warehouses, maximising efficiency!”.

 When a [[Bunny Everyhare (Who Laws the Lawyers?)|version]] of [[Bunny Everyhare]] materialised in the 925th Universe, her appearance mimicked the closest Jenny Everywhere, this one. She was appalled to find she was consequently wearing a Kablamazon uniform. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Laws the Lawyers? (short story)|Who Laws the Lawyers?]]'')
