The humor in the game is derived from its realistic yet amusing concept of carrying a shopping bag filled with food, allowing players to take their snacks anywhere, even placing it in a car trunk to avoid hunger on the go. This quirky idea adds a lighthearted touch to the gameplay experience.
“It's a realistic and funny idea; you have your shopping in a bag, and you can take your food anywhere with you. Just put it in the car trunk, and you won't be hungry anywhere!”
