'Treat Yourself' infuses some hip-hop swagger into Falafel’s daily routine as his one-tap attack deftly secures a snack before a nap (watch how he earns them through exercise in 'Tahini Terror', 'So You Think You Can Jingle', and 'Watt Happened').

The rhythmic narration is key to this adventure, echoing the beats and bravado of a rap song, as are Amy’s delightful depictions of his cat treats and mouse-shaped dispenser puzzle—a slot machine the real Falafel knows all too well by now.
