General Tso's Chicken is most often seen in [[Strong Badia]]. It first appeared in the email [[ghosts]], discovered by Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] as they searched for ghosts. The [[green fumes]] it emitted were simply because it was grody and rotten, not haunted as they hoped. Later, it appeared among the obstacles in the game [[Awexome Cross]]. It then turned up as one of the [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA#Mascots|Mount RidesPlace USA Mascots]], named "[[Ryan Sterritt|Ryan S.]]" and played by [[Homsar]]. General Tso's Chicken is one of [[Strong Badia's Seven Elemental Spirits]] along with snake seen on the national flag, the [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife]], [[Bear holding a Shark|the Fish Wearing a Fro Wig, and the British Distance Runner]]. | General Tso's Chicken is most often seen in [[Strong Badia]].
