References
- The name is a pun (sort of) referring to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.
- The line about the sugarplums is a reference to the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," by either Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston, Jr., which starts:
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
- The addition of a "tastes like chicken" clause in the 2006 version refers to the movie The Matrix, which explained the resemblance of many meats to chicken as a lack of imagination by the machine creators of the virtual world (like the virtual Crimbo Cafe).
