Notes/trivia[]

Miscellaneous[]
- "Zoinks" count: 2.
Cultural references[]
- This is an extended homage to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
- The gang wins a tour of the factory as the result of winning a contest.
- Ernest Bailey wears a top hat like Willy Wonka.
- Scooby and Shaggy want to drink from a flowing river of food, like Augustus Gloop.
- They are sucked up a pipe, also like Gloop.
- They are nearly pulled into a fan, like Charlie Bucket in the first movie version.
- They nearly get fed into an incinerator like Veruca Salt.
- They become so full they become round and have to be rolled like Violet Beauregarde.
- A giant-size product package catches the monster, like the one in the room that tempted Mike Teavee.
- A glass elevator goes up into the air, like in the book sequel, The Great Glass Elevator.
- One of the rooms where the Scooby Snack Monster chases Daphne in resembles the Fizzy Lifting Drinks room in the first movie version.
- There are spies trying to steal the formula for rival companies.
- This is the third episode where Fred impersonates Elvis Presley - after he also said "Thank you very much" after unmasking the villains in the Simple Plan episode.
- One of the snack factories is called "Looney Tunas", and its logo is shaped like the Warner Brothers shield. This is a reference to Looney Tunes cartoons.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]
- The fan blade had nowhere else to fall but down the pipe, so it should have been under Scooby and Shaggy's feet when they landed, but it wasn't.
- When the gang found Penelope tied to the chair, her feet weren't tied together. But, in the following scene and the flashback, they were.
