When maggie is scanned at the register in the checkout line, what message is briefly flashed on the display? I know this is an old trivia question, but I forget the answer..

Thanks,

Jim

Just one of the many, zany right-wing messages inserted into every Simpsons episode.

Actually it depends on what market the ep is shown in. Groening utilized several different messages and superimposed them randomly into that scene.
