Bluray Patched | Sausage Party: Foodtopia S01e08

The answer, as we learn in the bone-chilling, hilarious, and surprisingly philosophical Season 1 finale (Episode 8), is:

When the first Sausage Party movie hit theaters in 2016, it felt like a glitch in the matrix. An R-rated, big-studio CG动画电影 about anthropomorphic groceries screaming about orgies and murdering gods? It shouldn't have worked. Yet, it became a cult classic.
