As the show that was at one point the defining satire of contemporary American culture, it's kind of inevitable that many of the gags on The Simpsons revolve around food. We all know that a solid 40% of Homer's personality is donuts and beer, but that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the consumables that can be found in the average Simpsons episode. I remember watching a rerun as a kid and becoming obsessed with the marshmallow that absorbs all of Bart's hot cocoa. Universal Studios Florida needs to make that a reality.

This has been underlined in a recent Twitter thread in which fans shared all their favorite food and drinks to have been featured over the 35 seasons. Some of these might be delicious in real life, but there are definitely multiple examples that are better left in a cartoon as opposed to on the shelf.
