Line 8:
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] - One could say the 2003 reincarnation, up until the reintroduction of villains, was this. As is the 2009 franchise.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]
** Coupled with [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] for Plum Puddin' in the '80s. Plum is a boy in the first episodes. Plum is missing in the middle episodes. Plum returns to Strawberryland as a girl for the final episodes.
** Also in the '80s, Souffle the Skunk is called by both male and female pronouns. Souffle's voice actress often played male characters, to further the confusion.
** In the 2003 remake, possibly as a homage to the '80s Plum, Plum Puddin' is assigned to a horse who is referred to by male and female pronouns.
 
=== The 1980s series ===
* [[Awesome Music]] - ''The World of Strawberry Shortcake'', ''Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City'' and ''Strawberry Shortcake: Pets on Parade'' feature music by Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. You might know them better as Flo (Volman) and Eddie (Kaylan), of The Turtles, [[Frank Zappa (Music)|The Mothers Of Invention]] and ''[[Down and Dirty Duck (Animation)|Down and Dirty Duck]]'' fame.
* [[Genius Bonus]] - The Purple Pieman's competing recipe in the ''Big Apple City'' bake-off is one for "kohlrabi cookies" -- [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Kohlrabi |kohlrabi]] is a variety of ''cabbage''. No wonder the results are bad!
* [[Paranoia Fuel]] and [[Adult Fear]]: The first special will get children to think twice when strangers come up to them and try to sell them anything. Not that it's a bad thing of course.
* [[Recycled Premise]] - Strawberry's toy company Kenner swapped out fruit/food for flowers to create the characters and setting of the similar (and scented) toy line Rose-Petal Place in 1984, which spun off two animated specials.
Line 25:
** Yes, there were bats in the game. And you can turn them into butterflies using the magic wand.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]
** In ''Legend of the Lost Treasure'', the Sea Beast makes a [[Heel Face Turn|heel face turn]] and narrowly escapes death. The adventure ends with a song about treasuring friends. A few months after said episode was made, the character's voice actress died. (''The Sweet Dreams Movie'' was dedicated with love to Pam Carter's memory, as mentioned in the closing credits.)
** The death of James Street ventures into this territory. His character, Huckleberry Pie, often used a skateboard to get around Strawberryland. Riding without a helmet, Street was in a fatal skateboarding crash. (Daniel Canfield voiced Huck for the remaining seasons.)
