Answer: an Ice Cream Shower

Earl asks Flint if he could grant his request for an Ice Cream Shower for his son. Flint initially refuses because he feels Earl was acting mean with him earlier.

From Quiz Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Answer: Flint Lockwood's Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator (or the FLDSMDFR)

In the tiny town of Swallow Falls, the city suffers from a non-stop food supply of sardines, so much so that the citizens have to come up with different ways to make sardines more bearable. For example, they poach sardines, fry sardines, put them in baby formula etc. Flint hates sardines so much that he makes an invention that turns water into food. Surprisingly, the machine works so well that delicious food comes raining from the sky and The Mayor eventually renames the dank town of "Swallow Falls" to "Chew and Swallow".

Answer: Weather News Network

Sam Sparks is a weather-reporter intern for Weather News Network. Her cameraman is Manny and her jerk co-anchor is Patrick, who often makes fun of her for slip-ups and bloopers. For example, when she is reporting for the first time in Swallow Falls, Flint flies into her on his wild food making machine that ascends into the sky. However, Sam's face crashes into the camera lens and that makes her look all goofy. Patrick then makes a joke at Sam's expense saying, "Whoa, we will get back to her when she is more attractive." And he switches the camera off of her onto a kitten playing in the field.
