Trivia[]
- The title of this chapter references "Calvin's Big Decision," which is also about potatoes, and "Another Story About Socks."
- The most likely reason that Mrs. Jewls made Miss Mush promise never to make Mushroom Surprise again was what happened in "Mush".
- Sharie being in line after Joe may be a reference to the chapter "Sharie," which immediately follows "Joe" in Sideways Stories from Wayside School. This is likely, however, just a coincidence.
- This is the last physical appearance of Mrs. Gorf in the Wayside School books.
