Chowder: (looking around inside his mouth) What is this wonderful place? Whoa! It's a big cave that smells like feet!
Taste Bud #1: Sweet! Sweet!
Chowder: No, I said "feet."
Taste Bud #1: Sweet!
Taste Bud #2: Sweet!
Chowder: Feet.
Taste Bud #1: Sweet!
Taste Bud #2: Sweet!
Chowder: Feet aren't sweet unless you had feet made out of caramel. Then I guess they'd be sweet. I wish I had feet made out of caramel.
Taste Bud #1: Sweet!
Taste Bud #2: Sweet!
Chowder: You guys are weirdos. Can't you say anything beside sweet?
Both Taste Buds: (seeing a Puckerberry demon sneaking up behind Chowder) Sour! Sour! Sour! Sour!
Chowder: See? That's better. (edit)
Truffles: (to the Elemelons) It sure is hard to be a strong-willed woman, you have opinions, and they lock you in a cage. (edit)
(Chowder thinks to himself and the voices say)
Taste Bud: Sour! Sour!
Mung: A good chef always knows how to balance sour and sweet.
Truffles: Did you pee on the seat? (edit)
Chowder: Why are you guys always so grumpy? Sometimes I get grumpy when I'm hungry.
Frank the Sour Guard: Quiet!
Chowder: Shnitzel's usually grumpy, but I think that's 'cause he has to make a poo. Maybe you had to make a poo.
Frank the Sour Guard: be quiet!!
Chowder: Sheesh! Grumpy. (edit)
Truffles: I am not scary. (eats food and spits it out) This food. Now that's scary! (edit)

Allusions

add »
Character Name: Sour Ron

When the Puckerberry ruler says his name, Sour Ron, it is a reference to the Lord of the Rings evil character named Sauron. (edit)
On the first TV movie of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, House of Bloos, when Bloo tries to figure out the name for Duchess, he says Queenie and Princess, just like the names for the Elemelons. (edit)
Puckerberrys is also a berry in the Disney original animated series, Dave the Barbarian. (edit)
Chowder: I'm an eater, not a fighter!

This is similar to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Edwardo's line, "I'm a lover, not a fighter." (edit)
In the book, Mung is reading while handling the Puckerberry reads "Peligro", which is Spanish for "Danger". (edit)

"Well written"
The first one was okay but I really liked the second one because it went back to regular Chowder episode formula and because of the music.
