Most likely the cartoonist just likes orange whips. A lot of smaller theaters still sell tickets and concessions from the same place.
Otherwise, might be a concession to the tradition of a Christmas orange.
With a touch of the Blues Brothers.
I didn’t know what an “orange whip” was, so I Googled it. It is a golf training device with an orange ball on the end of a stick. I don’t think they are sold in theaters.
Elf number 1 has bought his three tickets and is holding them. Elf number 2 is going to buy three tickets. Is every every elf going to buy 3 tickets?
Is Nutcracker a movie now? I know it’s a ballet. It is performed in Boston every year by at least two different dance companies: Boston Ballet, Jose Mateo and sometimes others as well. None of them sell any food or drinks that you can bring into the theater. Seats are reserved so I suppose you could buy 3 of them to ensure that you have room to stretch out, or perhaps practice using your orange whip without hurting anyone.
There is a movie loosely based on the Nutcracker out currently (The Nutcracker and the Four Realms).
The joke is just that the elves have the day after Christmas off from work.,
“Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.” Blues Brothers
From IMDB.com:
“John Candy orders three orange whips. This line was not scripted; Candy just improvised. While also a cocktail, Orange Whip provided refreshments for the crew, and Costumer Sue Dugan was daughter of the Director of Sales for Orange Whip, Kenny Dugan, who asked the brand be mentioned in the film.”
