Actually, you'd be surprised! A lot of actors say that having to eat a lot of a certain food during filming completely ruins it for them. Like Angela Kinsey has said she can't eat ice cream cake anymore after filming a season 1 episode of The Office where she had to keep taking big bites of it during re-takes of a scene in the episode, because she had to take the same size of bite every time. And the rest of the cast usually had spit buckets so they could spit out their bites of food between takes after awhile so they didn't get sick (notable moments were Rainn Wilson and the banana he was eating in the episode where Phyllis got flashed, and the hot dog eating contest in the beach episode -- they all had spit buckets for that one). I'd guess Melissa probably had spit buckets for the pancakes too, or else she never wanted pancakes again after this!
Not exactly. Because of the number of retakes in the scenes a lot of the food is fake in the studio (because otherwise it would get spoiled) when they do use real food the actors just spit out the food after the takes to prevent them from getting sick.
@@christopherbingham5092Did the cold turkey and detox language not tell you this was a drug addiction metaphor? Alcoholism can run in families, so Spellmans and pancakes also works for the metaphor. One day at a time is a standard thing recovering addicts use to stay clean.
@@christopherbingham5092 Please explain how this is not a kid friendly way to convey an addiction storyline. Sabrina gets obsessed to the point she’s making pancakes in the middle of the night and acts ashamed when caught. She makes a pig of herself at the pancake breakfast. In this clip alone she is told to detox and go cold turkey, terminology associated with dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction and she’s clearly getting the shakes when trying to read the magazine, the shakes being a known withdrawal symptom. Recognizing the temptation is there but needing to reject it, saying taking it one day at a time is what recovering addicts need to do, the exact phrase was used by recovering alcoholic Peter Barlow! If this isn’t an addiction metaphor please tell us what it is.
@@jbcatz5 It's absolutely a metaphor for addiction. Not sure why anyone feels the need to debate the point...that seems more like a desperate bid for attention from internet strangers., which is also an addiction.
@@christopherbingham5092 Hence the metaphor, using one thing to represent another. A played straight drug addiction storyline would never be allowed on this show, so they used pancakes to tell the story instead, giving it more comedy value. Are you quite sure you know basic media comprehension, or did your evil twin email you an airhead virus?
@@christopherbingham5092 Okay. People can make their own interpretations and form their own semantics on what kind of an addiction it is. Most of us use the drug addiction interpretation, while a few of you guys don't.
This whole thing about the Spellmans addicted to pancakes 🥞never really makes sense to me or to Sabrina at the start of the episode because she never have problems with pancakes before she had witch magic in Season one. Plus Zelda never really explain to Sabrina why the Spellmans have addiction to pancake in the first place because I'm beginning to think that she's trying to avoiding Sabrina's question.
Well I think the pancakes is kind of a metaphor for drugs. And if it were some hard drug, you’d wouldn’t have to explain why you’re addicted to. But I get your point!
I remember going through a pancake addictions growing up. I also went through other like donuts addictions but I've stop and now I'm addicted to eat healthy.
Apparently, Melissa Joan Hart even commented that Sabrina ate pancakes before on the show. She was then reminded that this is a show with a talking cat.
For a show that runs on puns, I'm surprised they missed the opportunity to conjure up a literal cold turkey and give it to Sabrina. 🦃
I think they make the same joke in another episode, and Salem goes, "turkey?! Ohoh pleease!"
Turkey? 🦃🦃🦃
"I don't want character, I want pancakes"
Mood
Can we admire that graceful turn Beth does at 1:21?
"The money store?"
😅 Gets me every time.
I bet that Melissa loved filming this episode, due to all of the pancakes that she got to consume! 🥞😂

@@sagenebula I think re-takes are insane regardless. Perfectionism doesn't make an episode better it just wastes time and money.
Not exactly.

As a youngster, Little me didn't understand the metaphor for drug addiction, and actually thought that pancakes made you go crazy! 😜

hahahaha I love how the know-it-all doctor is a child 🤣
lol it’s a crepe and 12 step meeting at Howard Johnson. Lol the money store
I, too, would prefer pancakes over character.

They never had pancakes in the Spellman house and I don’t think they affected before she was 16 and came into her powers
@@beccaturner24also a metaphor for addictions or bad habits that are also genetic or passed down from some family members
We need a Sabrina revival!!
I mean we kinda did.....the one on Netflix.
That one sucks @@patrickp.8390
Melissa has said this was her favorite episode.
I wanted pancakes after the show's initial airing. But, years later, I didn't know it was a drug metaphor because ABC/Disney
Anyone else craving IHOP after watching this episode? 😋🥞
I think I been to IHOP Before and I think IHOP is one of my favorites Restaurants
🥞🥞🥞🧇🧇🧇🥞🧇🥞🧇
"If there's an emergency, you know where to call, right?"
"The money store?"
Isn't that called the bank, Salem?
I remember going through a pancake addictions growing up. I also went through other like donuts addictions but I've stop and now I'm addicted to eat healthy.
I love Sabrina the teenage witch My favorite TV show 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺
Dude I had such a huge crush on Melissa
The whole Spellman addiction to pancakes never made any sense
Apparently, Melissa Joan Hart even commented that Sabrina ate pancakes before on the show. She was then reminded that this is a show with a talking cat.
I thought it was supposed to be a metaphor for something else.
I empathise with Sabrina, I went through a pancake craze myself!
I think i'm retaining water... Or syrup.😅
I wish I could lose weight that quickly
0:23 Salem!
1:38 Mr. Saberhagen tries to conquer the world so they turn him into a cute kitty. 🤔
¿Por qué no está el episodio completo?
Solo suben clips de corta duración para que el publico se interese en contratar el servicio Paramount plus para ver los capitulos completos.
Looking forward to the pancake lady scene lol
Big Chungus Sabrina
Aunt Zelda was in great shape!
Aw threy cut out the pancake song.
They cut out my favourite gag! Where Sabrina keeps cleaning but the clock goes backwards and she throws it out the window.
Plus, Mrs Mapleton
I was expecting that part also and they cut it just when it was about to happen
I love pancakes
My mom worked for The Money Store at the time!
Huh…Sabrina the Teenaged Witch predicted Ozempic
was some suit used for sabrina to get fat?
Why did she hv an addicyion for pancakes in the 1st plce?
Because you can't smoke crack Friday nights on ABC.
Who said that kid doc just gave Sabrina an Ozempic jab? 💀
2:27
3:19
Why didn’t they go further with the drug references, like having Sabrina trying to snort pancake mix, or inject maple syrup into her veins?
If you make it past day three you’ll be okay Sabrina Spellman
I wonder why they put a piece of butter on the top, I find it ridiculous.
Okay I guess she isn't working at a IHOP any time soon
🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞
It was code for men. The pancakes being men. Surrounded by we men.
