Have to go with Slurm, even knowing what it comes from has to be better than the Royal Crown Cola taste of Buzz Cola.
Slurm, just because of it’s advertising: “Drink Slurm, it’s high adictive!”, truth in advertisement it only took a 1000 years. Plus the episode where we learn the secret of Slurm has one of the funniest quotes:
Leela: This all must have something to do with the secret ingredient.
Fry: My God, what if the secret ingredient is people?
Leela: No, there’s already a soda like that – Soylent Cola.
Fry: Oh. How is it?
Leela: It varies from person to person
I chose Buzz cola because after playing Simpsons: Road Rage and … uh … the other game … I’ve got an urge to try some of it after having it’s advertisments jammed in my face every 3 seconds. Although, I would be more compelled to try some Duff or a Flaming Moe.
Does Hypno-toad endorse Slurm? It could be hard to resist that marketing tactic.
Slurm’s slogan is literally “It’s highly addictive!” so let’s just say this is a no contest.
Seriously, I just had 4 cans of the stuff!
No duff? I’d like a duff….. please?
They actually have Duff beer in Argentina
I too wondered why there’s no Duff option.
Mmmmm…beer.
Buzz Cola! Twice the caffeine, twice the sugar!
Buzz for me! (With a twist of tomacco)
It’s got to be Buzz cola, Slurm just sounds too much like something you’d find in a handkerchief.
(singing) Grunka Lunka dunkity-do,
We’ve got a friendly warning for you,
Grunka Lunka dunkity-dasis,
The secret of Slurm’s on a need-to-know basis.
Asking questions in school
is a great way to learn …
… If you try that stuff
here you might get your legs broke.
We once found a dead guy face
down in the Slurm …
… It could easily happen
again to you folks.
So keep you head down,
And keep your mouth shut,
Grunka Lunka lunka dunkity dot!
