* HardTruthAesop: Being a big corporation does not automatically make a company evil, and that being a small family-owned business does not automatically make it good. While the episode doesn't hesitate to portray the representative for the big corporation as being extremely obnoxious and the small coffee shop owner opposing them as being quite likable and persuasive, it's made clear at the end that big corporations tend to ''get'' big in the first place because they make superior products ("25 percent less raw sewage taste!"), while protectionist laws like the one the small coffee shop owner is lobbying South Park to pass are demonstrated to be a terrible idea and the coffee shop owner himself is revealed to be smarmy, manipulative, and self-serving.
