==Broadcast==
This episode and "Nixel "Mix Over"" aired on May 28, 2014 directly following a Teen Titans Go! rerun. It is unknown how many viewers this episode garnered.
==Continuity==
*This is the third episode to be named after one of the Mixels foods. However, this is the first episode in which foods are seen being invented. ("Coconapple", "Cookironi")
*This is the second time barbecue is mentioned; the first time it was used in the context of a party the Mixels were having. ("Murp")
*This is the second time ice cream is seen, albeit in an ice cube form. ("Hot Lava Shower")
*This is the eighth absence of Flain. ("Electrorock", "Pothole", "Mailman", "Another Nixel", Changing a Light Bulb", "Wrong Colors", "Nixel "Mix Over"")
==Errors==
*When Slumbo licks his ice cube-ice cream, his tongue is placed under his teeth on his jaw.
*When Gobba ate the free sample bar-b-cubes, the Muck disappeared or maybe he's stored it away.
*When it shows a close up of Gobba eating the snacks, the bar-b-cubes and the rock pops are coming from the same side of the Krader & Volectro Mix.
*When Krader, Slumbo, Volectro, and Vulk were asking Gobba which snack would he buy, Krader's big arm is on the wrong side (which also happened in Hot Lava Shower, Snow Half Pipe, Elevator, Epic Comedy Adventure, and A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig) and Volectro's teeth are smaller than they usually are, and are spaced closer together.
*The first batch of bar-b-cubes do not have the red bottoms like the other ones do.
*Both signs have a dollar sign and the word "Muck" on them, thus making them slightly redundant and, as a result, grammatically incorrect.
*Gobba's right hand is brighter than his left hand throughout the whole episode.
*In the closed captioning, the titular food Bar B Cubes is rendered as "Bar-Beh-Cubes."
==Allusions==
*Pop Rocks - The name "Rock Pops" is a parody of the candy, Pop Rocks.
*Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - Vulk and Krader complaining about Slumbo and Volectro getting their food into their own food, but finding it delicious is a reference to an 80s commercial for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
