# Real Sci-Fi Animated Beverages Futurama Slurm Energy Drink Springs From the Screen to Reality By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-06 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futurama-slurm-energy-drink References: [geekalerts](http://www.geekalerts.com/futurama-slurm-energy-drink/) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BZCBA0?tag=trenhunt0f-20) If you’re a huge fan of Matt Groening’s work, there’s no way that you won’t recognize the Futurama Slurm Energy Drink. As a refresher, the Futurama Slurm Energy Drink is the same beverage that Fry got highly addicted to and ended up winning a free tour of the factory Willy Wonka style. So what’s the flavor? To be honest I’m not sure, but last time I checked Slurm came from a giant worm’s behind, so let’s hope that’s not the route the manufacturers took. Then again, as the Slurm Queen tastefully put it, honey comes from a bee’s behind; therefore, if that settles it for you, go nuts. This novelty beverage won’t come cheap though as it will cost you $24.99 a can. I just wish Slurms McKenzie would come along and party as you drink this. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Novelty Beverages:** Creating unique and quirky beverages based on popular culture references can tap into the nostalgia factor and generate buzz among fans. - **Product Placement:** Partnering with iconic TV shows and movies to manufacture fictional products is a creative way to incorporate advertising into entertainment, and vice versa. - **Premium Pricing:** Charging a premium price for limited edition or novelty items can create a sense of exclusivity and appeal to collectors and fans willing to pay a premium price for a unique product. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Manufacturing:** Beverage manufacturers can explore licensing partnerships with popular TV shows and movies to create unique products that tap into the nostalgia factor and generate buzz. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can incorporate product placement deals into their productions to create unique merchandise opportunities for fans and generate additional revenue streams. - **Collectibles:** Collectibles companies can collaborate with popular culture icons to create limited edition items that appeal to fans and collectors looking to add unique, one-of-a-kind items to their collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero Anime Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneak-energy.md) - [Cartoon-Themed Energy Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-fuel-4.md) - [Slushie-Inspired Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-simpsons-x-hismile.md) - [Game-Inspired Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-fuel.md) - [Revived 80s Cartoon Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hicectocooler.md) - [Manga-Themed Energy Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-fuel-and-crunchyroll.md) - [Neon Green Slushie Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slimers-green-apple.md) - [Sci Fi-Inspired Blue Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-milk-1.md) - [Horror-Themed Energy Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-fuel-3.md)
