After the previous success with Slurm Plus - even with the misprinted labels - Fry was looking for higher sponsorships. The World Cup medal weighed heavily on his neck. Where to turn? Galactic delivery businesses? Retrofitted phone booths? Pet cloning companies? All of these are options, but for Fry the choice seemed clear - he is best suited as a spokesman for sandwiches and other snacks sold from vending machines. He grew up plugging coins into such snack machines for chips, slurm, and poorly refrigerated sandwiches. At one point he was very sick from one such sandwich - an egg salad sandwich was he remembered but he made a near miraculous recovery. From that point onward injuries seemed to melt away, no matter how severe Fry was always ready for the next match.
Fry's smiling face, a thumbs up, and his world cup medal were affixed to the stickers that sealed the sandwich wrappings. Every weary wayfarer buying an expired sandwich would see his face when they unwrapped the meal, and perhaps see it again if they needed to vomit back into the wrapping. Sales were slow at first, but soon they spread far and wide - Fry representing the premade sandwiches at every gas station, phone booth, and sewer system. The lawsuits were frequent but easily settled, and Fry was never held liable himself for any damages. His position in the market was secure - every sandwich bearing his likeness. And why not enjoy that sandwich with a Slurm Plus! Most of the cans have his name printed incorrectly, but if you are lucky you just might find one with Bernardo Fry printed across the front. Those spelled correctly usually have the wrong player picture on them, but you can always hope.
With that, Fry is nearly complete - his picture on the sandwiches, his name on the Slurm Plus cans. All that is needed now is a new sponsorship with some snack food, maybe Popplers!
