Mr. Hippo makes this observation during one of his rambling post-attack stories in Ultimate Custom Night (2018). He recalls a picnic with Orville and argues against finding significance in every detail, then wanders into further details about sandwiches and bread. The advice arrives inside an unusually long monologue that delays the player's return to the game.
