Easter Eggs

• At the end, click on the "O" to see What's Her Face with her bunkmate.

Fun Facts

Explanations

• A Geiger counter measures ionizing radiation.
• "Nebulae" is the plural term for nebula.
• The name "Camp Firstbasawassa" is a reference to summer camps that are named after Native American tribes.
• "Night terrors" are a form of sleep disorder, in which an individual experiences extreme terror during sleep, and a temporary inability to regain full consciousness. Unlike nightmares, night terror episodes are not caused by the perception of a scary event or situation, but a combination of the fear instinct itself and tension or anxiety.

Trivia

Olsen Twin'd!!

• This is the first Teen Girl Squad episode to feature realistic background paper.
• This is arguably the first Teen Girl Squad episode without the Arrow'd Guy (see Mrs. So-and-so-erson).
• The Shirt Folding Store Manager's hair and face come from an M Magazine article about Mary-Kate Olsen. The manager is also wearing pink Chuck Taylor All-Stars.
• So And So asking for "smokes" is another reference to smoking.

Remarks

• The customer addresses So and So as "Mark" even though she is not wearing the name tag.
• It is likely that the raccoon girl suffers from Type 1 Diabetes, as going too long between insulin shots can lead to a coma.
• "Trés Cutée" is a mock-French expression. "Très" (with the grave accent `) means "very" in French. "Cutée" is not a real French word.

Inside References

• "Camp Firstbasawassa" is a reference to first base.
• The song mentions selling eggs.

• Cosplay is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu, and video games, and, less commonly, Japanese live action television shows, fantasy movies, or Japanese pop music bands.
