Laura now has a comically-large rump, the once-beautiful Rachel is now an obese {{Gonk}}, Richie and Judy never got any bigger because they "never ate their vegetables", and even Mother Winslow is still around, and she ''[[TheAgeless hasn't aged a day]]''.

* In the episode "Baker's Dozen", after trying Carl's secret family recipe, Lemon Tarts, Rachel thought of the idea of selling them. Carl thought it's a great idea, until he learns he has to make 12,000 tarts by the coming Monday. So everyone (except Harriette) starts making the tarts. But after a few hours, they only made several hundreds. Due to the stress of it all, a misunderstanding caused a food fight between Carl and Rachel. Rachel accidentally threw flour at Laura, who then tries to get back at her with more flour. Eddie yells "{{food fight}}!" and starts throwing some tarts at Carl ("You wouldn't dare!"), then he [[PieInTheFace throws some back]]. It escalates, until they were interrupted by Urkel, who asked if there's anything to eat. Everyone throws some tarts at him before resuming their fight. When Harriette shows up to stop them...
