The origin of Mickey Salad is not as innocent as you might think. Minnie and
Mickey Mouse got divorced after Minnie was caught cheating with Daisy Duck. Minnie was the only
one in the marriage with Mickey that had a job. She worked at the boutique with Daisy. Mickey became an alcoholic and cocaine addict and began a cannabis farm in his backyard. Eventually, Mickey’s weed dealing business began going south and Mickey became desperate. Not knowing what to do, he smoked all of the weed he couldn’t sell, further deteriorating his physical and
mental health. After a very long night of staring at his TV and not taking anything in, he came across a movie that gave him the idea to get himself run over and sue the person who did it. Two days later, Mickey executed his scheme. After he successfully sued the innocent man, he used the money to buy cocaine and pay for the clubhouse’s
electricity and water. Eventually, Goofy got sick of living in the clubhouse, nicknamed the
Mickey Mouse drughouse so he ratted Mickey out to the police.
Donald Duck heard about it and told Mickey before the police raided the clubhouse. Goofy, not wanting to arouse suspicion stayed at the clubhouse waiting for the police to arrive. Mickey used this to his advantage. He made Goofy poisoned salad and ate some himself. Goofy foolishly ingested Mickey’s salad. A few short hours later, they both died after suffering from seizures. That is where the phrase, “Mickey Salad, yucky yucky” comes from.
