==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by a SALTY CAPRI SUN - Please change this comment when editing this page. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br />
{{w|Capri Sun}}, a German juice concentrate drink, is a soft, flat, rectangular bag you poke a straw into. The most common flavor is Orange. A Urine bag is also a soft, flat, rectangular bag with the end of a catheter tube sticking out. Drinking catheter bags like a Capri Sun is not something a doctor usually does{{citation needed}}, because they are full of urine and not juice. {{w|Urine}} is salty liquid human by-product, and is commmonly orange in color.<br />
The title text is pointing out that drinking urine OUT of the bag like a Capri Sun is better than a Capri Sun being put INTO the body, similar to a saline IV drip, as this would like seriously endanger, if not kill, the recipient. The speaker appears to be using this as a justification for their actions, since their incompetence was, while inexcusable, at least not actually deadly to anyone. The security mentioned in the title text are likely not impressed by this, as hospitals are places where the act of pretending to be a doctor has the potential for many dangerous outcomes.<br />
<br />
The comic arguably functions as an extension of [[451: Impostor]].<br />

:[Cueball, wearing a lab coat, is drinking out of a straw inserted into an IV drip bag. The figure is surrounded by doctors and hospital staff who appear to include Ponytail and Megan, all of whom are looking at Cueball.]<br />
:Cueball: You know, these Capri Suns are good, but they're ''really'' salty.<br />
<br />
:[Caption below panel:]<br />
:I think the hospital may be starting to realize that I'm not actually a doctor.<br />

The title text could also be referring to a catheter. I'm not sure which is funnier, but one is certainly grosser. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.115|172.70.85.115]] 18:15, 18 July 2022 (UTC)<br />
That is defenitely a urine collection bag from the end of a catheter. The colour would make it doubly "mistakable" for a Capri-Sun with primary flavour/colour being orange. And urine (when collected and undiluted) is usually orange in colour. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.156.215|172.69.156.215]] 18:38, 18 July 2022 (UTC)</div>172.69.156.215
