==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Needs expansion, Requires an analysis of the rhyming used to come up with the alternatives to "Edible Arrangements"}}<br />
<br />
[https://www.ediblearrangements.com/ Edible Arrangements] is a company that sells fruit, and other edible items that have been cut and arranged to look like flower bouquets. Flower arrangements are typically not eaten. Megan uses this incongruity of eating a floral arrangement for her many puns. <br />
<br />
Vore is most likely referring to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorarephilia Vorarephilia] which is often called vore in slang. This indicates that the items in the arrangement have a strong desire to be eaten. Mouth Blossoms, My Juicy Bouquet, My Oral Floral are all combinations referencing the eating of a floral arrangement.<br />
<br />
The title text also makes reference to the fact that many flowers that are often found in floral arrangements, such as roses, violets, tulips, daisies, lavender and many more, are items that a human can eat.<br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
[Cueball and Megan are sitting on opposite sides of a leafless tree. They are silhouetted in the first of four frames.]<br />
Cueball: I don't get how Edible Arrangements is a thing.<br />
<br />
Megan: That's easy -- picking out presents is hard and fruit is delicious.<br />
Cueball: Yeah, true.<br />
<br />
[Megan gestures with an open hand]<br />
Megan: But my question is, why did thy call it "Edible Arrangements" and not "Vore of the Roses"?<br />
<br />
[Cueball pans off-screen and Megan turns to face them]<br />
Cueball: Just for that, I'm going to cancel the one I got you.<br />
Megan: Nooo! I want my Mouth Blossoms!<br />
My Juicy Bouquet! My Oral Floral!<br />
Hey, come back!<br />
