  It was too good a line not to use here!

  The whole Slurm factory episode has to be one of the finest pieces of comedy writing in history.

    I don’t know what episode of what show you’re referring to, but Soylent Green is a film from 1973.

      It’s Futurama, from the episode “Fry and the Slurm Factory”, which itself is a huge riff on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

      Futurama riffs and nods to old Sci-Fi all the time, and this was just a nice throwaway for those of us old enough to know the source material.
