| '''Popplers''' are undeveloped [[Omicronian]] young. They are born in large pits on an unattended Type M nursing planet, watched over by [[nanny cams]]. These larval Omicronians have an irresistible taste to [[humans]] and many [[Alien Species|alien species]].
| |
| | |
| Popplers were first discovered by hungry [[Planet Express]] employees [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]. The taste of the then-unknown objects was so addictive that they filled the [[Planet Express Ship]] and brought them to [[Earth]], where an exclusive deal was struck to serve them at [[Fishy Joe's]] fast food restaurants.
| |
| | |
| Popplers were no longer eaten after their true origin was revealed and Earth was threatened by Omicronians.

| === Trivia ===
| |
| *The Planet Express crew initially named [[Popplers]] "Tastycles", but it sounded too much like "Testsicles". When informed that the only two names not trademarked were "Popplers" and "Zitzers," they agreed on Popplers.
| |
| *[[Fishy Joe's]] sold Popplers using this jingle: ''Pop a Poppler in your mouth when you come to Fishy Joe's / What they're made of is a mystery, what they come from no one knows / You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em, you can chew 'em, you can stick 'em / If you promise not to sue us you can shove one up your nose!''
| |
| * They bear an uncanny likeness to KFC's Popcorn Chicken, but KFC launched that after this episode was made.
