He listened to Rush's "Tom Sawyer" while playing Space Invaders. He also had a 2 liter of Mountain Dew, I think?

I gotta check out that ep when it airs--it has Stephen Hawking in it, of course...

No, the Hawking episode was in Anthology of Interest I.

It was an "All-Rush mix tape" and a two-liter of Shasta. Yes, the song playing was "Tom Sawyer."

Shasta is a cheaper brand that makes sodas that mimic the flavors of others--they have a Shasta soda that's like Mountain Dew, one that's like 7-up, etc.

The only really tasty Shasta is Tiki Punch, which I get at the 99 Cents Only store (no kidding). All the other varieties are too flat for my carbonated blood. (Are you in So Cal too or something since you and I seem to drink a lot of the same soda pop-flavored bubbling products?)

General consensus: I must watch more Futurama (I haven't seen either of those two for at least three years). And some technologically advanced individual who wants to continue the thread probably ought to add "/Futurama" to the subject.

Yes, if by "southern California" you mean "northern Minnesota."

Actually I haven't seen Shasta since I was about 7 or 8 years old. Do they still have the flavors Blackberry and Cream Soda?

No blackberry, unfortunately. I think it went the way of Canada Dry Wild Cherry (which doubtlessly still exists in some exotic hemisphere). Cream soda? I think they still make it, but if it's Shasta it is guaranteed too flat for cream soda.

And I've wondered if Fry playing Space Invaders is a pun on the lyric in Tom Sawyer, "the space he invades..."

Man, I'd love to get me some of that Peanutbutter Zingo!

Haven't seen this for a while (and haven't missed it a bit).

Flatter than most of the brass in Springfield Elementary band.

"Zazz"? What is "zazz"?

Well, it has "zing" in it. All they need to add are a "zork" flavor and a "kapowza" flavor cos call em whatchoo want (peanutbutter? YUCK) they spell mazuma in the bank!

The one flavor I drink is the one flavor they show...something creepily Simpsonic going on there... I wonder how those other "Tiki"s taste.

Homer: I AM TALKY TIKI!! (giant flame) Lisa and Bart: Aaaaghh!

Somebody ought to see if Shasta sales went up after that Futurama ep (among nerds, and indeed I have several all-Rush mixes).
