Trivia

Right before Sam explains ghost sickness to Dean, he offers his brother a box of donuts. Dean turns up his nose at them and tosses the unopened box into the car. Sam looks puzzled by this action, but in later episodes Sam and even Crowley state that if Dean turns down food, especially foods like cheeseburgers and pie, it is a sign that something is seriously wrong with him.
