## Overview

After a long spell of her friends getting lazier, Rachel decides to make the house junk-food free.

## Future References (contains spoilers)

* Rachel's speech about healthy eating is brought up in Wild Rich Girl, despite the episode airing chronologically before this one. Production wise, this episode (120) is produced *before* Wild Rich Girl (123), explaining the reasoning for this.
* Gary eats Justice's poop again in Wild Valentine's Day.
* The scene where Dean's pudding splashes on Rachel's face is shown as a flashback in Wild and Bad Memories as apart of Rachel's "bad" memories.

## Cast

### **Main Cast**

* Sierra McCormick as Rachel Norman
* Chloe Moretz as Justice Leonardo
* Kyle Massey as Gary Fisherman
* Zachary Gordon as Dean Ford
* Rebecca Graham as April Haden

## Trivia

* Sierra McCormick has stated that this episode is one of her favourites.
* This episode is one of the many bottle episodes of the series, given that it takes place entirely in the house and it features no guest stars.
* This episode was the first "special" episode of the series that aimed to teach its viewers about the importance of healthy eating.
	+ In recent years, the episode has become controversial due to viewers believing that it encouraged eating disorders.
* The scene where Rachel blows a bullhorn into Dean's right ear and he responds by mentioning his loss of hearing in his left was actually a blooper that was left in. Dunlop (the episode's head writer) decided to leave it in because he believed that it would make the joke funnier.
* All of the friends managed to hide junk food in different places:
	+ Dean - *Cheese Tunnels*, on the floor of the kitchen
	+ Gary - a cake, in the oven
	+ April - expired ice-cream, in the freezer
	+ Justice - cocoa powder, in the cabinet
	+ Rachel - a candy bar, inside a cookbook
* *Cheese Tunnels* is a fictional snack food that appeared previously in the Comedies for Kids show *Brotherhood*.

## Goofs

* When Rachel blows a bullhorn into Dean's right ear, he complains about his hearing loss in his left ear while covering his right ear. As mentioned above, this was a blooper that the writers decided to leave in.
* Rachel appears to act very out of character in this episode. First of all, she seemed adamant on banning junk food completely at first instead of eating it in moderation (she does come around to this at the end of the episode, however), despite being seen as more intelligent in previous episodes. Second of all, her attitude towards her friends hiding junk food is un-character like. And finally, her lying to her friends about hiding a candy bar and being a hypocrite is un-character like as well.
* During one scene, Rachel can be seeing throwing out a packet of chips into a garbage bag held by Dean. When the camera cuts back to Rachel, she can be seen holding the same packet and the continuity doesn't match.
* The cookies somehow ended up being covered in Justice's poop, despite the fact that they were kept in a tray stacked together.
* The amount of pudding in Dean's pudding cup changes between shots.
* The amount of pudding that splashed onto Rachel doesn't match the amount that was shown in the pudding cup when Dean threw it out. Additionally, realistically it shouldn't have been possible for pudding to land on Rachel from where she was standing (behind the trash can instead of hovering directly over it), unless the cup dropped on an angle?
* Realistically Gary, April and Justice should not have been able to fit inside their respective hiding places (the oven, refrigerator and the cabinet).
