Muppets eating other Muppets

Ever since the early days of Muppet guest spots on variety shows, there has been a tradition of Muppet characters eating each other.

In the early days of getting eaten, the Muppet who was eaten would be dragged below the wall they'd be sitting on and the Muppet who ate them would rise making a chewing motion, making it look like the Muppet was eaten. A new way was found by making a "slit" in the puppets mouth so the puppet could be pulled through it and if nesasary, to be performeed from inside the puppet's mouth.
