Do you remember The Simpsons' episode 8F03, "Bart the Murderer," where he gets an after-school job mixing Manhattans for Fat Tony? Marge's suspicions are heightened when she notices a pizza-delivery truck with a satellite dish that's been parked across the street from their house for two weeks. "How long does it take to deliver a pizza?" she asks Homer. The truck then speeds off and is instantly replaced by another, very similar-looking vehicle with this logo on the side:
