Melissa Joan Hart has some favourite episodes when it comes to Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

The actress—who played Sabrina Spellman in the 1996-2003 show— made an appearance on Sabrina the Teenage Witch panel at 90s Con in Dayton Beach, Fla., last month.

Taking the stage, Hart, 48, revealed that there is one episode she finds particularly educational for her three sons Hart Mason, 18, Braydon, 16, and Tucker, 12, whom she shares with her husband Mark Wilkerson.

“My favorite episode is the pancake episode because I got to dumpster dive. I was craving pancakes and syrup and having hallucinations,” she shared during the September panel.

“It’s the only episode I’ve watched a few times,” Hart added.

“I show my kids it every time I try to explain addiction. This is why you should never smoke cigarettes,” the actress explained with a laugh.

In the season 3 episode, it’s revealed that no Spellman can resist the taste of pancakes. Sabrina’s aunts Hilda and Zelda (played by Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick) warn her about a potential addiction to the breakfast staple. She ignores the caution and takes her first bite, only to get obsessed with it for the rest of the episode. 

In her 2013 memoir, Melissa Explains It All, Hart detailed her drug use during the ’90s. It included an experiment with ecstasy at the Playboy mansion.

“I was feeling a little shy so I actually ended up rolling with some friends, doing some ecstasy,” she wrote in her book. “I was so excited. I was so nervous. It was so scary.”

In a 2016 interview with Vice, Hart furthered her lesson on addiction, saying drugs do not make someone happy.
