Written & storyboarded by Angel Lorenzana & Ashley Tahilan

Kit holds a competition to find a new treat to serve at the Trading Tree.


  • Acquired Situational Narcissism: J.P., playing the role of a celebrity because his channel just hit double digits, really plays up his fame. Especially when his best friend comes up and he pretends not to know him.
  • Affectionate Parody:
    • The main contestants are all interspersed with a Confession Cam segment, as commonly seen on reality cooking shows such as "Master Chef".
    • Craig experiences euphoric bliss as he tries the various proposed snacks, similar to how depictions of food in anime go over the top. Specifically, it feels like a Y-7 version of Food Wars!.
  • Boring, but Practical: Craig's snack is a simple chocolate bar with pretzel sticks that looks like a spider, and it’s loved by Jessica since during her first day of school after another student stole her lunch, Craig created the snack to cheer her up. Eventually, when he serves it to the rest of the creek kids, many comment that despite the simplicity, it satisfies everyone.
  • *Cough* Snark *Cough*: Kit announces that the winner will have their snack sold at the Trading Tree and get a percentage of the profits - "*Cough!* one percent *Cough!*"
  • Darkhorse Victory: Instead of the other contestants, the winner is Roger and his last minute entry Cereal Sludge.
  • Gilligan Cut: After the last minute entry of Roger and his Cereal Sludge, Kelsey immediately proclaims that there's no way that will win. Cut to Kit selling it at the Trading Tree.
  • I Drank WHAT?!: Both Craig and Kit have this reaction after learning that Cereal Sludge is regurgitated from Roger the troll kid's mouth.
  • Jerkass Ball: J.P. grabs this following his channel reaching double digit though he finally breaks down after listening to Craig's story on why he makes his snack.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The Confession Cam scenes are later revealed to just be Mortimor listening to the contestants talking inside a pretend TV.
  • Mundane Made Awesome: Most of the snacks that the kids made are quite common in real life but everyone here made it as a big deal with exaggerated reactions.
  • Running Gag: Kelsey keeps reducing the percentage of her confidence after trying out the various snacks until having almost no confidence in Craig.
  • The Unreveal: We don't find out who was going to win before Roger butt in.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Played for laughs. Yustice chastised Angel for allegedly saying that caring for the younger siblings is more important than the elderly.
