Here we go with Wikipedia's quick recap of Futurama Season I episode entitled Fry and the Slurm Factory:

 

Fry wins a contest that allows him and the Planet Express crew to tour the factory where his favorite soft drink, Slurm, is made. During the tour, Fry, Leela, and Bender stumble into the factory's underbelly where they discover that the drink is actually the secretion of a giant worm, the Slurm Queen, as part of a money-making plot. The Queen discovers the three and, fearing her company will be ruined if the scandal is exposed, attempts to silence them, but they escape. However, Fry cannot bring himself to ruin his favorite drink, so the Planet Express crew decide to keep the plot a secret.

 

What the synopsis doesn't say, however, is what is relevant to all s2goers, ie: the escape of the Planet Express Crew is made possible by the sacrifice of Slurms McKenzie, the factory mascot who had been partying for 40 years.

 

Here he is, facing the Slurm Queen with his XXXth century boombox --surely a Grundig Party Center 3000?
