Notes/trivia

• This episode is filled with jokes (some self-deprecating) about Cass Elliot's weight, which she struggled with throughout her career.
• Cass Elliot passed away on July 29, 1974, roughly nine months after this episode aired, making her the first real-life celebrity guest star on the series to pass away. Her extremely weight loss measures (fasting) may have led to her death at age 32.
• This episode marks the first time that Shaggy and Scooby appear to lose their appitities despite being temporary possibly due to eating so much candy throughout the episode.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• When the group is caught in the taffy and Shaggy says, "Let's try running," he speaks with Fred's voice.
• When Cass's dinner first arrived, there was no chocolate syrup on it, but later, it has chocolate syrup.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• When Velma looks at the Rio de Janeiro address on a box of chocolate bars, it reads "13 Avenida del Sur", which is Spanish for "13 South Avenue", however Portuguese is spoken and used in Brazil. The correct spelling of the address would be "13 Avenida Sul".
• It wasn't explained how Scooby got caught in the purple taffy. In one scene, he's free and then he's caught in the next. He must've gotten stuck in it offscreen.
• Wouldn't the gold hidden in the chocolate bars lose value? The villains would have to find a way to extract the gold dust from the chocolate bars.
• Wouldn't the whipped cream, which contains dairy, go sour when it mixes with the citrus acid of the grapefruit?
