Torgo's Executive Powder is a fine pink powder derived from high-ranking people at various organizations, notably the Box Delivery Network, which canceled the license of Planet Express in 3005. The powder is obtained by first beating said executives to a pulp, then grinding the remains until it resembles a dry powder. Despite general stoicism toward death in the future, even this is apparently seen as an extreme punishment.

Known uses

Torgo's Powder: Apply directly to the buttocks
  • Refresher (spice put in underpants)
  • Mascara (Leela uses it on her eyeball for a date)
  • Food for heads in jars (Lars uses it for feeding heads as he is employed at the Head Museum. It may also work for fish)
  • Reattaching heads (becomes adhesive when mixed with jar juice)
  • Spice for spice weasels (Elzar says it is "fresh ground executive". It can also make stars if squeezed by the butt)
  • Spaceship fuel (not like the Planet Express ship, but Santa's sleigh. It becomes explosive when used as such)
  • Explosive neutralizer (when poured into a bomb, it clogs the fuse)
  • Tablets
  • Flea powder
  • Suppositories (could be a separate product, but are likely made of the powder)
  • Dishwashing liquid (possibly).

The commercial: 'When your toilet smells like faeces, from some disgusting species; make it take a powder, with Torgo's!'
