seeds to create an addicting fruit. In 2011, Keith Plocek of LA Weeklys Squid Ink blog named "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)" the tenth best episode of the show with a food theme. The Phoenix New Times listed the episode as one of the top ten Simpsons episodes of all time. Legacy A Simpsons fan, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon, was inspired by the episode. Remembering the article in a textbook, Baur cultivated real tomacco in 2003. The plant produced offspring that looked like a normal tomato, but Baur suspected that it contained a lethal amount of nicotine and thus would be inedible. Testing later proved that the leaves of the plant contained some nicotine. Both plants are members of the same family, Solanaceae or nightshade. The tomacco plant bore tomaccoes until it died after 18 months, spending one winter indoors. Baur appeared on the episode's DVD commentary, discussing the plant and resulting fame. The 2004 convention of the American Dialect Society named tomacco as the new word "least likely to succeed." Tomacco was a wordspy.com "Word of the Day". Sneed's Feed and Seed A store by the name of "Sneed's Feed & Seed (Formerly Chuck's)", which appears for a short time in the episode, has been the source of intense debate among fans of The Simpsons. Debate centers around the store's name, citing the possibility of a salacious joke within the episode. The writer of the episode, Ian Maxtone-Graham, confirmed this, and has stated on Twitter that the store's name is in fact, a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where "feed" and "seed" both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Fuck and Suck". "Sneed's Feed and Seed" became an internet meme on the online imageboard 4chan, in the form of shitposting known as "sneedposting". The oldest known example of "sneedposting" dates back to June 12, 2012. Due to FXX changing older episodes from a 4:3 to a 16:9 aspect ratio, the joke is mostly cut off screen.
