#BlueDogSoda is the 27th episode of Sam & Cat.

Plot

Sam and Cat enter the Handy Quick to put up a flyer for their babysitting service. Sam then goes to get some Blue Dog Soda, but she isn't allowed. A man comes and says that Blue Dog Soda was banned in California because of how much sugar it had. He says that there's people who drink 10-12 bottles of it a day. Sam and Cat complain that they just drink 1-2 bottles a week, but the man won't take away the Blue Dog ban. After a man falls down while holding a box of Blue Dog, the Blue Dog spills all over the floor and Sam starts shrieking.

Later, Sam starts trying to make some homemade Blue Dog. Cat tries it out, but it tastes nothing like Blue Dog Soda. Cat tries to fix up the homemade Blue Dog, and when Sam, Dice, and Goomer try it, it tastes exactly like Blue Dog Soda. Cat sends Sam, Dice, and Goomer a shopping list for all the stuff they need to start selling Blue Dog. They buy the ingredients and then open up the secret safe in Sam's closet. They start making some Blue Dog in the safe and sell it through Sam's window. But then, the man who banned Blue Dog arrives at Sam and Cat's door.

Sam and Cat believe that he was there to bust them for selling Blue Dog. However, the man was just there so that they could babysit his son, Mitch. Later, Sam makes Cat, Dice, and Goomer make 100 cases of Blue Dog to survive for the rest of their lives. Sam and Mitch are making cheese sculptures. The man then arrives to pick up Mitch, however, he hears a Blue Dog operating machine explode because Dice accidentally left something on there open. The man runs in the room and finds the Blue Dog cases. He starts to bust them, but Sam, Cat, Dice, and Goomer say that some people do too much of everything and it's unfair to ban something for everyone just because a few people can't control themselves. The man ends up believing them and decides to take away the Blue Dog ban.

Quotes

Man: Go get all the Blue Dog Soda you got and take it out to the confiscation truck.

Handy Quick Cashier: (leaves)

Sam: Wh-all the Blue Dog? No. Dude. Uh, maybe we wanna buy some Blue Dog, too.

Cat: Yeah, you're not the only one who's thirsty!

Man: What are you two, a couple of dummies?! Blue Dog Soda has been banned in California!

Cat: Banned?!

Sam: Whaaaaaat?!

Cat: Why?

Man: Cause there's too much sugar in it! But thanks to me, the State Bureau of Interference has passed a law: It is now illegal to sell or to drink Blue Dog Soda.

Sam: That's insane!

Cat: That's our favorite beverage.

Man: Too bad! Did you know that some people drink 10-12 bottles of this junk per day?

Cat: Well, we don't!

Sam: Yeah, we drink, like, one or two a week!

Man: Well, some people drink too much of it.

Sam: So? Just cause some people drink too much of it, now nobody can have any?

Man: That's right, because the public is too stupid to be trusted with things they enjoy.

Chinese Woman: (says "I don't like the way you talk! It's completely unreasonable!" in Chinese)

Man: Shut up!

Worker Holding Box of Blue Dog: I'll take it myself.

Another Worker: Hey, watch out!

Worker Holding Box of Blue Dog: (falls and spills all the Blue Dog)

Sam: [shrieks]

Sam: [opens the door] It was Cat.

Cat: SAM!!!
