Description
Slurm, the number-one soft drink of the future, is refreshingly addictive. It is produced in a factory on the planet Wormulon by a race known only as the Slurm Worms. Their corporate mascot is Slurms MacKenzie, "The Original Party Worm."
Fry is a huge Slurm addict fan, and rarely goes more than 12 minutes without one.
Types of Slurm
- Slurm Medicinal Tonic: Slurm in the 2850s was sold as a medicine (much like Coca-cola and Pepsi in the late 1800s).
- Regular Slurm: The soft drink which is the most common type of Slurm
- Slurmee: A frozen version of Slurm similar to Icee and Slushee drinks on Earth.
- Slurm river: Liquid used for the river on the Slurm tour that looks like Slurm but doesn't taste like Slurm
- Royal Slurm: A purple liquid which turns people into a Slurm Queen
- Super Slurm: So delicious that people cannot resist it and will drink it until they explode
Slogans

- Slurm: It's Highly Addictive!
Creation
Throughout the tour, Glurmo is very evasive about the nature of the secret ingredient. After exploring the factory's off-limits areas, the crew discovers that the drink is actually produced by a giant Slurm Worm, known as the Slurm Queen. She secretes the Slurm through an orifice in the end of her tail, much the way bees secrete honey. In fact, this is so similar that Slurm Queens produce "Royal Slurm" much as queen bees can produce royal jelly, which, if eaten, changes a larval bee into a queen. This disgusting revelation leads the Professor to attempt to get the Slurm banned, but Fry is so addicted, that he foils this attempt, and continues drinking Slurm whenever possible.
