Spoiler alert! "Michael's Secret Stuff" is just water. And yet, after drinking it, the players on the TuneSquad miraculously transform into a whole new team. How does that happen?

This phenomenon is known as "the placebo effect." Placebos are basically non-medicinal treatments given to unknowing patients, who will have perceived or actual improvements, solely because they believe they are receiving medicine.

After sinking a hole-in-one, Michael Jordan poses for a celebratory picture, only to be sucked into the hole and into Tune Land. Wait. What?

It's called a sinkhole. Sinkholes are natural depressions in the Earth's surface that vary in size and can form gradually or suddenly. And they're all over the world, so it makes sense that one could happen to be on a golf course.

It's merely a case of bad luck on Jordan's part. The depression must have formed the exact moment his hand entered the cup, causing him to be swallowed by the hole.

Trust me: it's happened before.

In the words of Steve Jobs, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." Well, in this case, Mr. Swackhammer is not only copying the idea from Disneyland — he is also quite literally stealing. I guess he's a bit of an over-achiever.
