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!
@@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!
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.
