Mutated Tomatoes Called ToMaccoes

In 1999, the “E-I-E-I-D’oh!” episode showed Homer relocating to become a farmer. With the use of plutonium, he mutates crops to make them grow faster and bigger. He ends up creating a new plant called “ToMacco,” a cross between tobacco and tomatoes. In real life, scientists in Japan living near a nuclear plant discovered mutated vegetables, which included huge tomatoes. Rob Baur, an operation analyst, also attempted to make a real tomacco after watching the episode. He succeeded in his mission! On top of that, the writers wanted to him and tasted the plant.

Coming In Like A Wrecking Ball

In 1994, Homer used his pretty round figure to absorb the damage of a wrecking ball and subsequently saved his house from demolition. In The Simpsons Movie, he used a wrecking ball again. This time, he used it to knock a car but missed the target. He ended up swinging between a restaurant and a rock instead. Now, where have we seen this in recent times? Even though Miley looked better on a huge swinging ball, we daresay that it was more fun to see Homer on it.
