## Trivia

* As with her two sons Onion and Sour Cream, she shares her name with the Vidalia onion, a variety of sweet onion grown only in the state of Georgia and named for the rural town where they were first grown. Except for her husband Yellowtail (who is named after a species of fish), the entire family is named after different types of onions.
* In her youth, the top of her hair looks slightly like the top of an onion. In her current age, her hair is cut shorter and shaped even more like an onion.
* Greg and Vidalia have some similarities. For one, they both used to live exciting care-free lives, but ultimately settled down and had a family in Beach City. Secondly, the other parent of their firstborns is also not around in their lives. Third, they both had long hair before it (presumably) got cut.
* Vidalia is the only character that seems to understand Onion, besides Yellowtail. Sour Cream may also be able to, since in "Joy Ride" he reveals that he can understand his stepfather Yellowtail, who speaks like Onion.
* Her (younger) hairstyle resembles Leiji Matsumoto's classic blonde. It might also be a reference to the animated series *Star Blazers*.
