This is a list of products in the animated television series Futurama.
[edit] Admiral Crunch
Admiral Crunch is the new version of Cap'n Crunch in the 31st Century. Its cereal box looks relatively the same as Cap'n Crunch's, except the name is different. Fry mentions it in an explanation of how much different a 31st century breakfast is in "Episode Two: The Series Has Landed".[1] Both this and Archduke Chocula (below) are plays on the idea that the two have been promoted in the future. This cereal was also seen in "Anthology of Interest I" where Fry pours it on his head.[2]
[edit] All-Purpose Spray
An aerosol-type spray Fry uses to disguise himself in military uniform. He sprays it on his body, and it automatically takes whatever shape he desires on his skin. Similar to Instant Bikini Amy uses in the alien attack episode.
[edit] Angry Norwegian Anchovies
This can of anchovies appears in "A Fishful of Dollars" when Fry outbids Mom for it.[3] The can itself is the last known can in existence, circa 1997, and guaranteed fresh and edible. This product is very dangerous to Mom in the wrong hands since the anchovy DNA can produce cheap, efficient robot oil and put her out of business. Fortunately for her, it was eaten by mainly Zoidberg at the end of the episode.
[edit] Arachno Spores
Featured in the beginning of the episode "Lesser of Two Evils".[4] Its slogan is "The fatal spore with a funny name!" spoofing the slogan of Price Pfister faucets.
[edit] Archduke Chocula
This cereal is the new version of Count Chocula in the 31st Century. Its box is exactly the same as its older versions, except for the name change implying a promotion in rank. Leela offers some to Fry in "Episode Two: The Series Has Landed".[1]
[edit] Bachelor Chow
Bachelor Chow is a food product, packaged in a large bag much like dry dog food, but it is marketed toward single men. To prepare the chow, a bachelor pours some into a bowl dry, adds warm water, stirs and eats. The result is surprisingly like the commercial dog food product Gravy Train. The Bachelor Chow billboard first appears in "Space Pilot 3000",[5] but it isn't until "I, Roommate"[6] that Fry is seen eating the food. The Bachelor Chow slogan is "Now With Flavor!".
Bachelor Bar, the bar version of this product, was eaten by Fry in "Insane in the Mainframe".[7]
[edit] Bamboo Boogie Boots
In the episode "Three Hundred Big Boys", Hermes purchased these for his son Dwight using the $300 tax refund sent by Richard Nixon for a price of $299.99. Upon activation a shoot of bamboo extends from the sole of each boot forming a type of stilt. Unfortunately once the boots were activated they became exceedingly difficult to control or remove.
[edit] Bendgay
In the episode "Bendless Love," Bender applies Bendgay just before bending an unbendable girder. A parody of Bengay.
[edit] Big Pink
In "War Is the H-Word" Fry purchases this gum at 711.[8] Fry describes this gum as "the only gum with the breath freshening power of ham," to which Bender adds that "it pinkens your teeth while you chew." Later Fry complains that "this ham gum is all bones." Near the end of the episode, Henry Kissinger compliments Fry on having "breath as fresh as a summer ham". Big Pink is a parody of Big Red chewing gum.
[edit] Charleston Chew
In the 'A Taste of Freedom' episode. This is mentioned once by Nixon.
[edit] Def-Con Owl Traps
In the future, Spotted Owls have replaced pigeons as New New York's #1 pest problem. In several street scenes, animated neon signs are shown advertising Def-Con Owl Traps, with an animated dead owl falling over and the slogan "Kills Owls Dead" spoofing the slogan of Raid household insect killers. As seen in the show's opening title sequence and in "Space Pilot 3000".[5] Its name plays on the insect spray brand name "D-Con" and the term "DEFCON" which stands for Defensive Condition, a measurement of "threat level" used by the U.S. Military, ranging from DEFCON 5 (least level of threat) to DEFCON 1 (maximum threat - state of war).
[edit] Glagnar's Human Rinds
Glagnar's Human Rinds are fried human rinds, similar to pork rinds but made from humans instead of pigs. Featured in the beginning of the episode "I Second That Emotion".[9] Its slogan is It's a buncha muncha cruncha human!, a play on the Fritos advertising campaigns of the late 1970s.
[edit] Hubble Bubble
Another bubble gum featured in the episode "War is the H-Word".[8] It is a play on the gums Hubba Bubba, Dubble Bubble, and the Hubble Telescope.
[edit] Iffy Pop
Iffy Pop is a stove-top popcorn, a direct parody of Jiffy Pop. It is seen in the episode "Roswell That Ends Well"[10] Although Iffy Pop carries a warning label announcing the popcorn is non-microwaveable, Fry removes it and attempts to microwave it anyway, inadvertently creating a blue energy field that interacts with a similar red field produced by an exploding supernova, sending the Planet Express ship and crew backward in time.
[edit] Instant Bikini
Amy uses it on the beach after Nibbler bites it off in When Aliens Attack. She sprays it on her body, and it automatically takes the shape of a bikini, making her look like a "cheap French harlot," according to the Professor.
[edit] Kelvin Clone Fragrances
In "A Fishful of Dollars" Amy and Bender both encounter an annoying saleswoman selling Kelvin Clone fragrances.[3] The name of the brand is a parody of Calvin Klein.
[edit] Klein's Beer
Klein's Beer is packaged in a Klein bottle, an impossible geometrical object with properties similar to a Möbius strip. The product is seen in The Route of All Evil.[11]
[edit] Liquid Nitrogum
Another bubble gum featured in the episode "War is the H-Word".[8] Its wrapper resembles the wrapper used by Doublemint from the mid-1980s to 2005. There is also a resemblance to the Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum wrapper.
[edit] Lightspeed Briefs
This brand of underpants appears in Fry's broadcasted commercial dream in "A Fishful of Dollars".[3] A pair are visible with Zapp Brannigan's clothing in "War is the H-Word".[8] "Lightspeed fits today's active life style, whether you're on the job or having fun. Lightspeed Briefs - style and comfort for the discriminating crotch." Lightspeed Briefs may be a play on Fruit of the Loom, some of whose products are labelled with the abbreviation FTL (which also stands for faster-than-light).
[edit] LöBrau Beer
The most commonly seen brand of beer in Futurama, LöBrau has appeared in numerous episodes. Indeed, Fry appears to be holding a can of LöBrau Beer when he is frozen in the pilot episode. Leela comments that it is a Canadian beer in "Spanish Fry".[12] The name is supposed to sound like 'Lowbrow' though it would be pronounced 'Lewbrow' if the umlaut is considered. The name is reminiscent of Löwenbräu beer (which is pronounced in English without distinctions for the umlauts). The term 'lowbrow' is a colloquialism for poor taste and a synonym for low class as per Merriam-Webster.
[edit] Molten Boron
Quite literally molten boron. Its slogan is "Nobody doesn't like molten boron!", a play on Sara Lee's slogan. It is seen at the beginning of the episode "The Problem with Popplers".[13]
[edit] Mom's Old Fashioned Robot Oil
This robot product is produced by MomCorp, a business headed by Mom and a division of Carricon, Industries Enterprises, an empire owned by Samuel Carrico. It first appears in "A Fishful of Dollars" and is the leading brand of robot oil in the entire galaxy.[3] Its slogan is "Made with 10% more love than the next leading brand!" A parody sticker, in a format similar to the Wacky Packages line from Topps, appears in "The Route of All Evil",[11] as "Mom's Moron Oil for Dumb Robots".
[edit] Monsieur Carton
A brand of boxed wine that Bender tries to serve to Lrrr and Ndnd in "Spanish Fry".[12]
[edit] Olde Fortran Malt Liquor
This liquor is seen first in "Space Pilot 3000" when Bender and Fry have a drink at O'Zorgnax's Pub.[5] It is one of Bender's favorite liquors. Its name is a play on the fact that Olde English is a malt liquor, which is named after a human language, and consumed by humans, while Olde Fortran is named after a computer language, Fortran, and consumed by robots.
[edit] Orlon Candy
Orlon Candy is the Luna Park version of cotton candy. Fry, Leela, Bender, and Amy buy it in "Episode Two: The Series Has Landed" while at Luna Park.[1] (Orlon is a synthetic fabric, as opposed to a natural fabric like cotton.)
[edit] Pabst Blue Robot
A beer for robots full of metal shavings, mentioned in the episode "The Route of All Evil".[11] The metal shavings hurt Fry's throat. The name is a play on Pabst Blue Ribbon, and the metal shavings are a reference to Goldschläger.
[edit] Robo Fresh
It is a deodorant for robots. It was seen in the episode "I, Roommate" during the commercials of the soap opera, All My Circuits.[6] This is the only time that this product was seen, apart from in a loading screen in the Futurama video game.
[edit] Sam Adams' Head Boston Lager
A beer mentioned in the episode "The Route of All Evil".[11] Obviously a reference to Samuel Adams.
[edit] Semitic Miss Cocoa
A brand of hot cocoa seen briefly during Leela's dream about a sleigh ride on Hyperion in "The Sting".[14] A reference to Swiss Miss brand hot cocoa.
[edit] Shankman's Rubbing Compound
In the 'A Taste of Freedom' episode. This is mentioned once by Nixon and a couple Futurama characters.
[edit] Shiz
A soda beverage which first appeared in the episode "The Why of Fry".[15] An advertisement for Shiz appears in "Spanish Fry".[12]
[edit] Slurm
Slurm is the most popular soda beverage in the Futurama universe. It is Fry's favorite drink, even after he discovers the truth about its origin in "Fry and the Slurm Factory".[16] Its slogan is "It's highly addictive!"
[edit] Slurmee (Ice-Cold)
A secondary product by Slurm. Is never mentioned in the series, only featured in the background of the episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory".[16] A parody of the 7-11 drink Slurpee.
This is also a parallel to the Simpsons' universe, with the Kwik-E-Mart's "Squishees".
[edit] Soylent Cola
A parody of Soylent Green, Soylent Cola is a soft drink made from dead people. In "Fry and the Slurm Factory",[16] Leela describes the taste as "[varying] from person to person." It is also used as a loading screen in the Futurama video game. Several other Soylent products are mentioned in various episodes of Futurama, such as Soylent Red and Soylent Blue. Soylent Green itself features in "The 30% Iron Chef".
[edit] Spider Yum
Another bubble gum featured in the episode "War is the H-Word".[8] It is a reference to the urban legend that Bubble Yum contains spider eggs.
[edit] St. Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl
Another beer from "The Route of All Evil".[11] The name is a reference to the Pauli Exclusion Principle and St. Pauli Girl beer.
[edit] Tanning Butter
A sun block made of butter, used by Leela in the episode "When Aliens Attack".[17] It was also seen in the background of the 711 store in the episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory".[16] According to the DVD commentary of "When Aliens Attack", there was also supposed to be "I Can't Believe It's Not Tanning Butter".
