** Kevin was ''legitimately going to give the Eds jawbreakers'' until Eddy was rude to him by forcing his scam on him. Just a season or two later this would be ''unheard of'' for Kevin, as he'd be much more likely to taunt the Eds right off the bat about getting free jawbreakers.

Just a season or two later this would be ''unheard of'' for Kevin, as he'd be much more likely to taunt the Eds right off the bat about getting free jawbreakers. Somewhat justified in that the Eds' antagonistic actions throughout the episode, among the multitude of other scams they continue to pull on him and others throughout the series, would naturally cause him to grow less sympathetic to them over time.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Edd's plan to befriend Kevin for the jawbreakers fails for 3 damning reasons: 1) Kevin hates the Eds and particularly Eddy, so it is natural that he wouldn't immediately accept the Eds' offers of friendship, as one's enemy won't easily become a friend, 2) Said offers came ''right after'' the Eds learned about the jawbreakers, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for Kevin to assume that the Eds want to befriend him for his jawbreakers, in which a true friend would not befriend you for what you have, and 3) Eddy rudely sent Kevin packing when the latter tried to offer them the Candy in the first place, so it's ''their'' fault they missed the chance to score jawbreakers, not his.

** Much of the sympathy of this episode is actually on ''Kevin'' instead of the Eds. The plot starts because of Eddy being a jerk to him, and we're supposed to sympathize with the fact that the Eds won't leave him alone once they figure out he has a garage full of jawbreakers. In later episodes, Kevin would ''always'' be the outright aggressor and antagonist to the Eds.

* AnAesop: Surprisingly, several from an ''Ed Edd n' Eddy'' episode.
** You can't force someone to like you; especially if you've been a jerk to them up until then.
** Don't try to become someone's friend just to get free stuff. They'll see right through it.
