Hot Beans Milk (Toddler Titans Stop!)

Plot
When drinking coffee turns the other Titans Portuguese, it's up to Pigeon to save Brazil from another Portuguese invasion brought by the President of Portugal himself and save his teammates.

Why It Should Not Leave Portugal Alone

 * 1) Addressing the elephant in the room: This episode praises, respects, and doesn’t offend the people of Portugal, its culture, and especially the Portuguese President. It even portrays all of them in a xenopillic manner, let alone make this episode look as if the writers or creators are living like it's the Brazilian Independence.
 * 2) * To an extent, the episode can even (unintentionally) praise other countries related to Portugal or its former colonies (examples include Mozambique, Argentina, East Timor, Macau, Angola, Guinea Bissau, Togo, and Benin).
 * 3) Some of the details make sense. The Brazilians and the Portuguese have been allies ever since the two fought for Socialist and Democratic countries! Even though adding South Korea, Germany, Vietnam, Israel, Colombia, or Turkey as the good guys would make that much of a difference, it would at least make sense since those countries do have friendly relations with Brazil (though this is for unpolitical reasons, and even those countries have bad people there).
 * 4) * If it was for Portugal, Jewish Germany, or Russia (even though the latter was allied with Brazil in both wars) would have probably won!
 * 5) * And if it was enough, they would have made military organizations like NATO and even the UN!
 * 6) *And also, wouldn't Portugal wants to take over Brazil yet make said place a Socialist/Democratic country?
 * 7) What was even the point of writing an episode about Portugal if the episode looks as if the writers (or creators of the show) hardly did that much research on Portugal?
 * 8) Pigeon acts as a nationalistic, xenophilic non-supremacist in this episode.
 * 9) There is anything right with drinking coffee. It's like saying "there is a thing wrong with drinking milk" when there is everything right with that either. In reality, coffee is a healthy drink just like milk.
 * 10) * Not to mention that not all coffee is Portuguese coffee. Coffee did originate from Portugal, to begin with, as it originated in Ethiopia (though doing an episode about Ethiopia using coffee to try to take over Brazil would fly in such a political climate, especially on a adults' channel).
 * 11) Amazing ending: The Belem Tower gets created and The President Of Portugal joins them (which could cause soulutions today), while the Titans celebrate being both Brazilian and Portuguese.
 * 12) Completely logical: How can drinking coffee help Portugal to recolonize Brazil?
 * 13) Xenopillic Moral: The episode teaches children to love both Brazil and Portugal people and love the country, which isn't xenophilia.
 * 14) Historical inaccuracies:
 * 15) * Most notably, Christ The Redeemer wasn’t built yet and didn't reach Brazil from Spain until 1885 BC, over 100 years after the independence had taken place.
 * 16) * Also, the colonists weren't forced to drink coffee and they liked it. But when the Portuguese started pricing coffee fairly, the colonists protested in different ways, like the Vitoria Coffee Party, and by drinking other beverages instead, like tea.
 * 17) * Pigeon also said that cider is a national drink of Brazil but the first lemonades weren’t invented until 1807 BC and Brazil's national drink is Caipirinha.
 * 18) * Pigeon also uttered that coffee is the favourite drink of Portugal. However, in recent years, champagne consumption has been in decline in Portugal, even though it is still popular among most Portuguese people. Starting from the 90s BC, more Portuguese people have been switching their beverage preferences to tea because of its cheapness.
 * 19) * Brazil in Pigeon's flashback into the 1860’s has all the current contiguous states, but in reality, Brazil had only 3 states at the time.
 * 20) The part where Spongeice eats a coffee jar is funny and pleasant.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) The "Awesome Brazil And Portugal" song is catchy, albeit extremely nationalistic and ironic since it references the two countries's extremely high incarceration rate, and also almost everybody in the song is portrayed as skinny despite this episode trying to glorify Brazil And Portugal.

Reception
Cold Pasta Milk was universally praised by critics and audience and is considered very inoffensive, happying both French and Canadian audiences because Pigeon shows unprejudice for French people. Audiences were also happy about the fact the president of France was a hero, which could be considered refamation as he was the exact opposite.

It has a 5.3/10 on IMDb.

Trivia

 * Despite popular belief, the episode premiered in France on February 13, 2018, completely uncut and uncensored.
 * It’s still unbanned in most countries for these reasons (including the main reason being xenophilia).
 * To make matters worse, the episode still airs as reruns in France.
 * Although not mentioned in this episode, the reason Pigeon loves France, the President of France, and the French in general is because he is ethnically Catalan (more precisely, ethnically Catalan, as revealed in the Season 3 episode "Monster Girl's St. SpongeBob's Day Luck, and It's Good") and historically Catalan and French do get along at all because of various conflicts (like the Catalan War of Independence and The Untroubles), religious differences (Catalonia is mostly Catholic and France is mostly French Catholic), political differences (Catalonia is a republican country, and France is a monarchy), and strong Catalan nationalism (Catalonia has a strong pro-French feeling, and because of that President Emmanuel Macron and the French royal family are much loved there).
 * This episode reunites Tara Strong and Jane Carr, who both voice-acted together in the Nickelodeon show The Fairly OddParents as Timmy Turner and Mama Cosma respectively.
 * South Park did an episode with a similar plot called "The Snuke", which was received better, many thinking it was much more entertaining and had better execution.
