Chicken Pops
"I still don't see why Tommy needs this," Lou said as he and Didi sat in the pediatrician's office. Tommy was seated on Didi's lap, playing with a Reptar plushie, giggling as he made its mouth close which caused Reptar to make chomping noises. Though it was making him kind of hungry… "Why when I was a lad and my folks heard that the neighbor boy had gotten Chicken Pox they drove 87 miles just ta insure I caught it! And heck, when Stu and Drew were tykes we had Pox Parties ta make sure all the sprouts caught it!"
"That might have been how things were back then, pop, but not now. With the vaccine-"
"Vaccine!" Lou scoffed. "Ya can't trust a vaccine! Never put anything in yar body that was made in a lab! Only things that should go inta your body are things made by the Man Upstairs!"

"Hmmm?" the blond creator said before shrugging and going back to working on his Duel Monsters deck.

"Like those cheese doodled, pop?" Didi teased and Lou looked down at the bag of highly processed snacks he'd been eating.
"Well… uh…" he said as Tommy happily reached over and grabbed a doodle when no one was watching, popping it in his mouth and sucking on it till it because an orange mush. "Well, ya hear them doctors are puttin' GPSes in them vaccines so they can track us?"
"Why?"
"What's that now?"
"Why would they want to track you, pop?"
"Well… I don't know." He scratched his chin and Tommy stole another doodle. "But what about side effects?"
"There is some slight soreness and maybe a rash," Didi said, having researched the vaccine. "Just like when Tommy got all his other vaccines. And it's better than him being so itchy he can't sleep and refusing to eat and being miserable." Tommy, for his part, happily grabbed two more cheese doodles and stuffed them in his mouth before going for more. "Do you really want your grandson to suffer, pop, when we can make sure he stays healthy?"
"Well… I guess not. I just worry, that's all."
"I trust the doctor, pop. She says it's safe."
"Suppose so." He went to grab a cheese doodle only to frown, seeing the bag was empty. "What's a real conspiracy is how fell snacks they put in these things nowadays!"
Tommy, for his part, just licked his orange stained fingers.
Author's Note: Welcome to The Fun With Sliding Time Scales! The Chicken Pox Vaccine came out in 1995. Rugrats originally took place in 1991… EXCEPT the show exists on a sliding timescale, as we can see in this very episode when Charlotte uses a cell phone from 1997. Meaning that the chicken pox vaccine would have been available and ready option for Didi.
I have no idea when Cheese Doodles were invented.
