The Tell-Tale Candy Wrapper is the second story from the 2nd episode of Season 2 and the 30th story overall of PB&J Otter.
Plot[]
In this story, Flick secretly devours all of PB&J's favorite candy and leaves nothing but a big candy jar full of wrappers. He then makes a hasty exit and tries to avoid being caught. This ultimately causes the Otters (Peanut, Jelly, and Baby Butter) to be unfairly punished. Opal reveals to Flick that Peanut, Jelly, and Baby Butter are upstairs in their room. Peanut, Jelly, and Baby Butter had to take a time out. She also says they knew the rule about candy and they broke it. The rule (revealed and said by Opal) was that the otter kids could have one piece of candy, but they ate the entire candy jar. However, Flick's "conscience" --represented as a little green candy wrapper (from a lime candy)-- begins to bring him unbearable guilt (for his crime).
Featured Song[]
- Whammy Clammy (notably not used in the credits)
Trivia[]
- This episode is a parody of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart".
- This is the first of the two episodes where Flick is sneaking out. In this episode, he devoured Peanut, Jelly, and Baby Butter's candy and sneaks out. And he had to trade money for the candy he stole from the otter kids. However, this was not heard. But Pinch Raccoon revealed that at the end of the episode. The second episode after this episode (The Tell-Tale Candy Wrapper) is The Duck Who Cried Wolf. In The Duck Who Cried Wolf, Flick's mother Shirley made him go home when he cried "Wolf".
- At one point in this story, Shirley Duck was making chocolate chip cookies and was briefly humming the traditional song "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain".

- (Flick resumes crying.)
- Opal Otter: Flick Duck, you've done a bad thing. But you just did a good thing, too. You told the truth. And I am proud of you.
