Appearances??
I knew when I started the page that someone might remove Drive-Thru from the list of appearances. However, neither Drive-Thru nor nightlife shows more evidence than the other that the "invisible" (as described by SB) restaurant was actually in the toon. In nightlife, a bag of food from the restaurant appeared, and in Drive-Thru, the drive-thru speaker from the restaurant appeared. So, at this point, which is more likely to be an "appearance" ? The bag of food could clearly be miles from the actual restaurant, and a mobile drive-thru speaker could also be miles from the actual restaurant. How can we list either as an appearance, or, alternatively, why wouldn't we list both? I hope I'm making some sense. Either we list both, or don't list either. That's my opinion.

- Since both Drive-Thru and nightlife are linked in the opening paragraph, and since the restaurant doesn't strictly "appear" in either toon, I think we could do without the Appearances section altogether.

A Speaker Operator?
Regarding this edit: I had always assumed that the drive-thru whale acted all on its own. Yes, in a normal drive-through, someone would operate the speaker. But a drive-thru whale that pops out from the ground, flies into the sky and appears far away from any actual drive-through, it would not be stupid to assume that nobody actually operates it. I assume that it is a character by itself, not just a tool. This would also work much better with the nonsense the whale says: A crazy whale sounds like a better explanation than one of the well-known characters reading out nonsensical messages. Anywho, either way is speculation, and I suggest that we simply remove the line "and presumably someone who operates the drive-thru speaker." Loafing

- I was of the same opinion, which is why I went ahead and acted. Am I too bold? -DAGRON 03:06, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not so sure I'm keen on the current wording, either. Some mention may be prudent, yes, but besides being speculation, it's a "may be" statement. -DAGRON 03:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- There's a difference between speculation and pointing out various interesting possibilities. Speculation is saying it may be this or that. In this edit, I have pointed out two strong arguments - an employee is voicing the drive-thru, and the drive-thru is an employee himself - and alluding to a third, left to the imagination of the reader, but certainly alluding to the possible supernatural power of this likely extra-terrestrial being. Perhaps it is in power all along. Hmm? This is in possible violation of explaining the joke, but I see it as poiting out the curious. - Qermaq - (T/C)

- No, it's really blatant speculation. I think we can leave it up to people themselves to deduce what exactly the whale is. — Defender1031*Talk 12:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

- Heh, confused the heck outta me too for some time. It's from the DVD commentary of Drive-Thru.
- While I'm posting in this section, I tried to take out blue ones, because there's nothing in the cartoon to suggest they sell blue ones, but it got reverted. Does anyone agree with me? -DAGRON 10:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well of course they SELL blue ones, but I guess they're OUT of the blue ones!
What is the source
None of the menu items are sourced, so I'm just going to ask, where exactly does the "Jalapeño 'n' King Snake Meat Double Deluxe" come from? --108.51.134.110 [Neumannz (talk)] 17:55, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Agreed, there should be something listing the sources for each item either here on the talk page or on the page itself. I have no way to validate this edit for example, in some part because I don't own the game. :-/ --Stux 11:44, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
