18 WTF Moments From Sausage Party
6. The Russian Doll Characters
So, the logic of the film suggests that in the case of food that comes in packets, it's the packets themselves that are sentient, rather than the contents. A smashed jam jar is a dead character; a burst crisp packet is dead...
There are exceptions of course - like the red liquorice laces that are all individuals - but there are also rule breaking characters.
How come an opened condom would be still alive? How come a corncob is alive as an individual, but individual kernels are little zombies? How come a packet of mentos that is clearly an individual spills its guts and dies, but each of the mentos has a face and a personality? Again, we have to have rules or we're no better than animals.
