Unless there was an alternate timeline or universe where this box of cereal made an appearance before, P-3’s usage of the Crispy Critters term just seems very random. It almost acts as a catchphrase for the protagonist but no matter how crispy your enemies may burn — those Crispy Critter phrases will just keep on coming.
Has ‘Crispy Critters’ Been a Popular Term in the Real World?
No, this game seems to have been many people’s first exposure to the term if it was ever used often in the past. It is much more likely that it is simply just a filler phrase that the developers have added to make sure the character sounds unique. It can be extremely entertaining at points to listen to this phrase thrown around like a tennis ball back and forth from P-3’s thoughts.
It’s almost as though P-3 cannot wait to get to say the phrase again at times with how fast he speaks within various moments. It’s not just the mouse acceleration you have to worry about — it’s the acceleration of talking speed during the dialogue you will be focusing on.
