It's funny you bring that up. So, in American animation, lots of cartoons have symbols for things in real life. Many of the things that happen in Adventure Time are symbols for things that happen in real life. For example, the Mushroom War suggests that it was a Nuclear War. We haven't had a nuclear war in real life, but nuclear bombs are real things.
