Thoughts, Details Recap
The episode opens at the Scooby Snack factory. They are testing the chocolate and that means that Scooby Snacks are not dog food since chocolate can kill dogs. A cheese monster attacks the factory and declares the end of Scooby Snacks.
Shaggy and Scooby are blissfully unaware of the threat to their way of life. Except...while it would be terrible to lose their favorite snack food, several episodes show Scooby making a Scooby Snack from scratch.
The gang get on the case to save Scooby's favorite snack. The owner of the factory doesn't seem happy to have them on the case. The gang is undeterred. They go on with their investigation in the factory. They find clues, they find the cheese monster.
Red Herring is at the factory to revel in Scooby's pain. What did Scooby ever do to him? Fred's the one that keeps accusing him of crimes.
This is an unusual case of the monster actually capturing the gang in a dangerous scenario. They're all tied up to give Scooby his Dumbo moment when he proves he can be brave without a Scooby snack.
Later installments in the franchise usually get credit for turning Daphne into a more fleshed out character who uses her fashion sense in creative ways. This episode shows her use a nail file to escape ropes.
It's a nice ending for everyone but the rival biscuit factory owner who dressed up as the cheese monster to ruin the Scooby Snack factory and steal the formula.
