Bonus Factoids
- Matt, Trey & Anne (our EP) all went Gluten Free to see what it was like, since they were doing a show about it.
- Matt went gluten free in July; Trey and Anne started in September. Bottom line is... they never stop talking about it.
- From the writers: "It's VERY rare to have carry-over from a previous episode. Trey came in the Writer's Room with that idea one morning.He thought continuing the story would be a fun way to start the show, then it took off & became a full storyline. We may even do it again…"

Pointless Observations
- Mr. Meryl, Coach Miles and Unamed Substitute Teacher return at the school's staff meeting - though Mr. Meryl is silent, this is his first prominent appearance on the show since season 8's "Quest for Ratings"
- Damien Thorne can be seen attending the boys' super-cool party at the end, next to Tweek Tweak. The latter's parents can also be spotted in back.
- Cheesy Poofs make a blink-and-you'll miss it appearance in the Marsh family's cabinet - they haven't been seen in the show since a short cameo in season 15's "A History Channel Thanksgiving".
- Randy Marsh's beer in this episode is a Pabst Blue Ribbon, a beer popular with those who are white trash and in trouble.
- Some fans were worried about Clyde Donovan after South Park: The Stick of Truth but he's back here, safe and sound and way more popular than the boys.
- Scott Malkinson still has diabetes.
