in the season 4 episode, "lisa's first word", of the u.s. television show "the simpsons", krusty burger is featured in a promotion where the characters get free food if they receive a slip that features an event that was "won" by the united states. the promotion was rigged, as was said in the episode, where every game card was to be in an event that "communists never lose". however, almost immediately after that is said, word of the boycott is spread and the rigging backfires. krusty burger loses so much money on the promotion that krusty publicly states that he will "personally spit in every 50th burger".
