- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The wasps that didn't get caught in the sandwich wisely flee at the end.
- Unconventional Food Usage: The residents of Itching Down use the titular sandwich to stop the wasps.
- Wicked Wasps: The wasps seem to have nothing better to do than cause havoc for the citizens of Itching Down.
