Inside Out: 22 Easter Eggs, In-Jokes And References You Need To See

11. The Chinese Boxes Are From A Bug's Life

During the dinner scene which shows the inside of Riley's parent's heads (seen in part in the trailer), the family are eating Chinese takeout (clearly a more attractive option than broccoli pizza). Now, if you're really up on obscure Pixar in-jokes, you may recognise the logo on the boxes; it's actually a very long-running Easter egg. First seen in A Bug's Life as Manny's Chinese Cabinet of Metamorphosis, that brand of food box has appeared in Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc. and Ratatouille.
