What happens

A rat sews up an eggplant costume to sneak into the refrigerator while a human has the door open. Once the rat gets inside, starts looking for the Coke can. But two other rats have the same idea, climb out of their costumes and prepare to fight for the last can of Coke. The eggplant rat breaks his light in two and adds a length of chain and makes a nunchuck, and fights off the other two rats and gets the Coke.

A key Question

I think that the filmmaker is trying to say that one will go to great lengths to get a coke. From making a costume to help break in, to defeating others with the same end goals to get what you want. That a Coke is a very refreshing drink and no task is to small to obtain one.

Your impressions

I’ve always had a thing for rats, their good pets when they have a big enough cage. And they like being held, and will cuddle if you let them crawl under your shirt. But they have also made good characters in commercials and movies over the years, from Walt Disney to Coke. This rat was a thinking rat from the start. He made a costume that resembled an eggplant, and while wearing it ran wobbled through the kitchen to get behind the human that was looking in the fridge. He was able to jump in and conceal himself with the other produce on the shelf. After finding the last Coke in the fridge, come face to face with two other rats with the same goal in mind.
