Commentary:
Many plants just do one thing. Some plants do multiple things. Getting one strong effect makes a plant worth considering. When a plant does two (2) things well - it is worthy of being on the list of best plants in the game. That's what we have here. For the cost of a Cherry Bomb, Explode-o-Vine gives you half of a Cherry Bomb's damage now and a full Cherry Bomb damage when eaten. In addition, the knockback effect is strong enough to give the player time to recover. This is also a great plant to utilize on those levels where one must protect endangered plants. Vines must be eaten first so Explode-o-Vine will literally give his life to protect the endangered plant.

Bottom Line:
We will not sugar-coat this: GET THIS PLANT!
