Trivia[]
- Brian Drummond makes his debut to the series as the Narrator for the minisode, and would later be the voice of Strawberry's Lucky Spoon and Caramel Tartufo.
- The Narrator voice would later be used for David Attinberry in The Cricket, which retroactively implies that the narrator here is David Attinberry as well.
- While she is not shown onscreen, Raspberry Tart's presence in the minisode is implied as Mr. Mangosteen and Customer Berry are ordering from her Raspberry Supreme bakery truck.
Continuity[]
- This episode takes place after Meet Huckleberry Pie, as Huckleberry is present at the Berryworks, but before Huck's New Job, as the Berryoke Wagon is absent from the Berryworks.
- If one pays attention to Bread Pudding and Huckleberry Pie in the background, they are having a conversation with each other throughout the minisode. It is possible that Bread is conducting an interview with Huck to hire him at the Berryworks, since it was established that Huck is considered an employee in "Huck's New Job".
- This does raise the question of why Bread Pudding would hire Huckleberry in the first place if he didn't have a cart, though given that he appeared to be fine with Huck being at the Berryworks until his music became a personal disturbance, it's possible that Bread initially considered Huck a regular employee, but then bent the rules to classify Huck as a vendor solely to fire him in that episode.

References to Past Series[]
- Pupcake tackling Custard is a reference to a running gag from the 2003 Series, where Pupcake would pounce on Custard as a sign of affection, much to her chagrin.
References[]
- The minisode is done in the style of a nature documentary. The Narrator's voice is specifically a parody of Sir David Attenborough, a British broadcaster and biologist who is well-known for his nature documentaries.
- Season 2 episode "The Cricket" would eventually retroactively establish that The Narrator is actually the in-universe version of David Attenborough, named David Attinberry.
