** One of Sebastian's favorite foods is Pumpkin Soup. And where do you get the recipe for Pumpkin Soup? From befriending his mother, Robin! The guy must really like his mom's home cooking. One of Seb's lines in the Fall season has him griping about "pumpkin spice everything". This isn't just simply him going against a trend; Sebastian ''knows'' good pumpkins from crap flavorings!

* Rabbits regularly drop [[AnARmAndALeg rabbit's feet]] once you start raising them. That raises all kind of [[{{Squick}} implications]] as to how they're being harvested.

* Joja Corp doesn't bother to clean up the corpse of your dead coworker at his desk in the intro, so they clearly don't care about employees dying. When you [[spoiler: chase the Joja company out of town by fixing the Community Center]], Morris exclaims "I'm done for!" [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness He might be completely literal about that]].

* While the shrine that [[spoiler: erases your children's existence by turning then into doves is horrific enough, the fact that it's owner is the Wizard's ex wife who is hinted to have left him after he cheated on her and had a child with another woman makes you wonder exactly why she owns it.]]

* Why is the Joja Corporation even here, in this small town with few people and fewer businesses? You should be able to answer this question yourself in 2-3 years when you look at the sheer amount of money you make from farming, ranching, mining, and fishing. Joja doesn't give a flip about the town, they want the resources! They can't just take over because the Governor is fond of the town, so they're trying to sneak in the door by using Joja Mart to bankrupt Pierre and buying the Community Center from Lewis so that the town becomes dependent on them. This is actually hinted at early on, but you might not see it the first time: Joja was responsible for a pile of rocks functioning as a mine-blocking Broken Bridge, and is very careful to point out the legality of their operations when announcing the rubble has been cleared.

* At first, it seems odd that Joja Cola would restore such a miniscule amount of energy and health, considering it's a caffeinated beverage. However, it becomes clear why when you remember where the Farmer worked before becoming a farmer: Joja. They probably had instant access to the stuff at cheap prices when they were working there, ''hate'' the stuff, and with the two combined became practically immune to any of its physiological effects.

** On a more somber note: Penny's hated gifts include wine and beer. With her mother being an alcoholic, that shouldn't come as much surprise. Her dislike of grapes may seem odd until you quickly realize that wine is a product by fermenting grapes. On a brighter note, among her favorite gifts are Tom Kha Soup and Sandfish. These seem out of place; especially compared to her more modest favorites, the Red Plate (Red Cabbage and Radish) and the Roots Platter; and would be easy to write off as someone who's lived poor wanting a piece of the more fancy life. Except the bus her mother drove goes to the Calico Desert which is the natural habitat for Sandfish and Coconuts (the latter's a key ingredient for the soup). In that case, it'd be safe to assume her mother would have something like this brought home by the end of the day, back when the bus was in regular use.

** Maru has diamonds as one of her favourite gifts, and at first glance you wouldn't think someone like Maru would be into superfluous gems, but then you take another look at what she likes and dislikes and you realize, as a scientist, Maru would need rare gems and materials for her and her dad's projects.
** Haley has diamonds as one of her liked, but not favorited gifts, which at first glance would seem strange for a girl into clothing and accessories, but that's the point: Haley probably has a large amount of jewellery already and while she still likes them, it is still dulled down a little because of it.
** Haley is also the only villager who doesn't love the Prismatic Shard; in fact, it's one of her hated gifts. Presumably a fashion-conscious girl like Haley would find the bright, contrasting colors of the shard to be tacky.
