12* The potato being joyful about being the chosen one bears similarity to the alien toy in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' being joyful about being chosen from the skill crane.
13* [[spoiler:Douche taking a bite out of Frank]] is very reminiscent of [[spoiler: Stinky Pete cutting open Woody's arm]] in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''.
14** Darren throwing away the foods in a trashcan is similar to the scene in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' where Woody has a nightmare where Andy drops him onto a pile of cards that somehow leads to a trashcan.
15* [[spoiler: Douche controlling Darren through his scrotum]] is a clear reference to ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}''.
16* The scene where the food are happy to be at the customer's house but then realize their true fate is a reference to the scene in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' where the toys are dropped off at a daycare and can't wait to be played with by their new owners, but then everything goes wrong once the kids misuse them.
17** Also, the food holding hands when they believe their end is about to come is akin to when the toys believe they will be incinerated and hold hands one last time.
18* A less affectionate one is the "Dixar" bumper sticker on the Druggie's car, along with "A113"[[note]]An EasterEgg which appears in ever Pixar film, a reference to the classroom at California Institute of The Arts (the alma matter of most of the Creator/PixarRegulars and several other key players in UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation) where character animation classes would be held in the late '70s/early '80s.[[/note]] on his license plate.

22* The character designs are a WholeCostumeReference to the animated theater bumper [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw91RJ_m_7g "Let's All Go To The Lobby"]].
23* Near the beginning of the movie, during "The Great Beyond" song, when Honey Mustard is picked for buying, he happily [[Film/Titanic1997 stands and extends his arms from the front of the shopping basket]].
24* [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Giant television screens are placed throughout the entire Shopwell's supermarket. And said screens are used to project people faces on them in order to watch every move in the entire store]].
25* The Bag of Flour is labeled "[[Series/BreakingBad Walter's White Flower]]". It even has the little hat on it!
26* Frank watching the aftermath of cart collision with various food yelling in agony as he is on the ground, disheveled, parodies the Omaha Beach battle in ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'', complete with a Can of Spaghetti trying to keep his Noodle Intestines inside and an Oreo walking around, dazed, and picking up one of his biscuits.
27* The death of [[spoiler:Carl]], with him suddenly looking down and seeing Camille's knife blade [[ChestBurster coming out from his chest]] before being sliced in half takes a page from the Alien Queen dispatching Bishop in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
28* During a musical sequence, ''Music/MeatLoaf'' makes an appearance as a literal [[IncrediblyLamePun meat loaf.]] Later, he rides away from an explosion on a motorbike, striking a pose similar to the one on the cover of ''Bat Out Of Hell.''
29* [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "I'll get you! And your little sausage too!"]]
30* Gum looks very similar to [[Series/TheMuppetShow Dr. Honeydew]] with the whole ''not'' having eyes under his glasses thing he's got going on.
31* Frank eventually finds proof about food's ultimate destiny through [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E89ToServeMan a cook book]].
32* When the Fruit prepare to go into battle, they [[Theatre/WestSideStory dance and snap their fingers]].
33* During the climax, [[spoiler:Darren tries to shoot Gum. Gum [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay morphs from his bullet hole into his original form, all while a certain famous theme plays in the background.]]]]
34* One of the characters in the battle scene is named [[Music/TheBeatles Sgt. Pepper]].
35* At the end [[spoiler:the characters go through an actual {{Franchise/Stargate|Verse}} into the real world]].
36* The scene where [[BigDamnHeroes Sammy and Lavash]] throw ladles at one of the humans is a reference to the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' film, where a group of bystanders at the Queensboro Bridge throw pipes and other debris at Green Goblin during the climactic battle.
37* Druggie has a drug trip similar to that of Beavis and Butthead's in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica''.

42* During the month of June, the Twitter page for the movie would post a picture spoofing a Romantic film (along with a food-based {{Pun}}) every Monday.
