In 1994, an episode showed Lunchlady Doris using “assorted horse parts” in the lunch meals of the students at Springfield Elementary. In 2003, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland found out that one-third of the ready meals and beef burger samples from supermarkets had horse DNA. Around 85% of these products also had some pig in them.

Dolph and Kearny were the school bullies of The Simpsons. They snatched up a memo on a Newton device in an episode that came out in 1994. The memo was meant to say, “beat up Martin,” but autocorrect changed it to “eat up Martha” instead. The forebear of the iPhone, with its handwriting recognition, would suffer the same problems. These days, we all know that autocorrect is more than capable of turning sentences into the most confusing and funniest messages known to man!
