I uses the word "brioche" but I've no idea what that referred to in France at the time.

Looking at that, it says that "brioche" is a type of pastry, and I think I get it now: Marie's response to the famine is to let the eat these expensive pastries. She has no idea what a "famine" really is and just thinks it's just a slight drop in food.
ANYWAY...No moar Marie Antoinette. Let's talk about this mod.

The aftermath is secondary,
It's time to do it now and do it loud,
Killjoys, make some noise!
