For all things Futurama

Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!

So I am thinking about hosting a Futurama party for the new season premiere. I want to have Futurama theme food and drinks. First thing that comes to my head is Popplers (popcorn chicken or shrimp) and the Slurm recipe I found here https://www.theflavorbender.com/homemade-slurm-drink-futurama/. What other food/drink ideas do you suggest?

Interesting.... Odd.... Maybe too much work but appreciate you sharing the link

Definitely a lot of work. I was surprised to find out how much actually goes into making human kibble.

A big heaping bowl of salt!

[–] PlasticExistence 6 points 1 year ago

Baking soda and capers!

"Hey Professor, mmmh, great jerky!"

"My God, this is an outage! I was going to eat that mummy!"

I understand a few spoonfuls of LSD really gives things a kick.

[–] Santcuff 10 points 1 year ago

The essence of flavor!

[–] GONADS125 7 points 1 year ago

Make some little Hypnotoads out of a sugar mold with a few drops of LSD!

Heck, you're never too rich for a turkey dog!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Against my better judgement, I'm gonna kick it up another notch.

Not the most interesting but I feel like you definitely need pizza. With anchovies of course.

[–] Awa 4 points 1 year ago

Or just swarms of things :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Perhaps with a Panucci's pizza box!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Malted milk balls as Nibbler poo!

[–] Awa 7 points 1 year ago

Simple and tasty. I like it :)

[–] Gort 12 points 1 year ago

Maybe some manwiches.

As for what the contents could be, maybe first come first served.

Gas station egg salad sandwiches!

Penguin tempura!

Baseball cap full of yogurt!

Soylent drinks can be found in the beverage section in Walmart (PA, USA at least). I think they are plant-based protein drinks?

Absolutely one of the best low key jokes.

Awww! Little bird little bird, fly through my window

[–] Awa 1 points 1 year ago

LOL that's a fun find!

I would have imagined slurm being some sort of carbonated avocado punch but I guess a limeade is more accessible.

The Orphanarium Hors D'oeuvres from The Cyber House Rules. Gristle in a blanket (pigs in a blanket) and used popsicle sticks, they've absorbed quite a lot of flavor (I assume just popsicle sticks what once had a popsicle on them, thus absorbing some flavor)

Didn't ask about games but I suggest Black Jack.

Here's just about every gag food I can think of from the show that could be translated to an edible dish:

  • Popplers
  • Slurm
  • Manwhich
  • Glagnar's Human Rinds
  • Bachelor Chow
  • Bristol Myers Squibb steak (just serve steak tips in some novelty-size pill capsules?)
  • FemaSlim (some liquid/gel served in disposable food-grade syringes)
  • Soylent drinks
  • Coffee served in whale mugs
  • Deep-fried icecream sandwich wrapped in frosting and lightly baconed
  • Jerked "lower horn"
  • "Jamaican" platter: jerked meat of every variety
  • "LaBarbara's cooking": comically spicy Caribbean food
  • Sterno Nicoise (flambeed ice cream cake with blue frosting, probably a lot of work)
  • "Froot" cup with cheese filling
  • Molten Boron/Torgo's Executive Powder (I'm thinking serve some spaghetti with red sauce in tin coffee cans with the "Molton Boron" label and the chemical hazard symbol, and Parmesan cheese labeled executive powder)

I didn't think about the food in the ads.

Fresh squeezed walrus juice. Ride the walrus!

BEER - Bender is disappointed.

Popcorn shrimp for popplers!

[–] Lauchs 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LoBrau beer. Lowenbrau seems a pretty good substitute if it's around your area.

Mammothwurst from fun on the bun (just sausages)

Turkey dogs from 300 big boys

Bachelor chow could just be cocoapuffs.

Surge soda could be relabeled mtn dew if you run low on time.

buy blank pizza boxes and make Panuchi's pizza

fake plastic bees in a cheese shaker.

capers and salt

small crystal vial with essence of flavor.

You guys eat rocks, right?

With swarms of things.

Nooooooo!!! Seymour :(

[–] arensb 2 points 1 year ago

Now I want to make red kibble from The Expanse, but bam! it up a notch and wash it down with Slurm.

Balut - Season 1 Episode 2

[–] PlasticExistence 2 points 1 year ago

Dress up some tater tots with some seasonings and call them Popplers!

[–] MoltenBoron 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hotdogs. Turkey or parasitic.

[–] Awa 1 points 1 year ago

Pigs in a blanket...check!
