## ***Plot***

That is, until her stomach starting rumbling and was in asbolute horror when she found out that there was no chicken noodle soup left!

Although, unfortunately for them. Courtney wasn't going to let them get it so easily...

## ***Trivia***

#### **General**

* With Courtney being the antagonist in the previous episode "Tennis Court". This marks the first time she has taken on the antagonist role of an episode twice in a row.
	+ The only other character who has been the antagonist twice in a row is The Very Evil and Despicable Kitty Kat.
* This is the only time Tesco is seen in Season 3b as most episodes in the series utilize Sainsbury's as the main supermarket location within the show.
* Boog doesn't bop anyone in this episode.
* No deaths occur in this episode.
* Originally, the plot of this episode was going to take place during a hot summer day and Sunstone, Bandy, Notepad, Brick and Egg Sandwich were going to head to Tesco in an attempt to get Ice Cream. This was changed however because Slash thought it was too "cliché" upon review of the original script and early storyboards.

#### **Cultural References**

* The scene featuring Brick refusing to trade his bottle of cola for a carton of milk could be a possible reference to the hit internet video "Consume your calcium"
* The silly chase scene in the episode could be a reference or homage classic Scooby Doo.
* Duncan trying to get the bag of chips he paid for to fall down the vending machine seems to be referencing the beginning of Over the Hedge.

#### **Controversy**

The scene featuring Notepad throwing a frozen cod at the Tesco Cleaner in annoyance and them being knocked down to the ground by the impact was seriously disapproved of by some countries, as they believe the slapstick went "too far" here. Due to this, some versions of the episode have the scene heavily edited or removed entirely. Although, some versions of the episode that have flat out removed the scene forget to edit out the fish mark on the Tesco Cleaner's face when they reappear in the ending scene of the episode that features Boog. This creates a error in certain versions as there's no given explanation to how the fish mark even got there.

#### **Goofs**

* Sunstone's limbs are slightly disconnected during 6:59-7:02
* Courtney's eyes oddly disappear entirely for two frames around the 4:03 mark.
* The types and amounts of fish available at the fish counter constantly change whenever it appears in the background of a scene.
* Hydro's ears are slightly miscolored in the scene where she, Sunstone, Bandy and Sans are walking through the baking isle.
* The wet floor sign present in the final scene of the episode disappears between shots.
* Bandy has no arms between 12:19 - 12:25
* When Hydro mentions how she would kill for a pint of choccy milkshake, Sunstone replies saying "a pint? that's like 570 millilitres!". This information is incorrect as one pint is equal to 568.26ml.
	+ Although, this could not be a mistake as the episode could be rounding the exact amount of a pint to the nearest 10.
