Okudagram labels

I'm working on a TNG era reproduction that will require dressing by some of Mike Okuda's ob-round labels. The fine print was not meant to be read on-screen and often contained inside jokes. I have been searching for a cannon list of these but was not entirely successful. One of the problems is there are many fan made reproductions, some with non-cannon captions. I have seen variations in the dimensions as well. I have seen 7/8" x 4 1/4", 1" x 4", etc...

Below is a compilation of some I have collected, but I cannot verify they are all cannon.

Can anyone confirm which are authentic and add some others? Also can anyone provide the size of the cannon labels?

I don't know about the answers to your actual questions, but I do know that this joke line is from The Simpsons, the episode where Homer becomes the leader of the Ancient and Mystic Order of the Stonecutters. The Stonecutters sing a song during diner. This is a terribly butchered rendition of some of the lyrics from that song. The correct words to those lyrics are:

"Who held back the electric car?
Who made Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!"


Since I love the song so much, here are all the lyrics:

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, we do!
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do, we do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do!
Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do!
We do!!!


Enjoy.
