An ad featuring the Simpsons was made for a special sale, available only in Canada, in 1993. The ad involved Homer buying a bucket of chicken and a bottle of 7-Up. Homer, not realizing that the bottle of 7-Up came free with a 15-piece bucket of chicken, is afraid he's stealing it when he isn't charged for the bottle. At the end, Homer sees Grampa and asks him to help sneak out, but Grampa tells him about the offer.
