An anonymous reader writes <i>"So, according to <a href="http://www.kptv.com/Global/SearchResults.asp?qu=tomacco">a KPTV newscast</a>, a Simpsons fan with too much time on his hands grafted a tobacco plant and a tomato plant and, ta-da: <a href="http://www.thesimpsons.com/episode_guide/1105.htm">tomacco</a>! Leaves and most likely the fruit (yes, tomato is a fruit technically) contain nicotine. Delicious AND deadly!"</i> Simpsonschannel.com has <a href="http://www.simpsonschannel.com/">a small news piece</a> on the breakthrough, but in a Frink-like move, although scientists have found <i>"nicotine in the leaves"</i>, it turns out <i>"the lab hasn't tested if the actual tomato has nicotine in it yet, but they say it probably does."</i></font>

I think it is great news for restaurants. More and more restaurants are going totally smoke free. Now they can attract smokers again as potential customers by offering a tomacco salad for starters, in betweens, and desert. And with some coffee.

Or just offer a glass of delicious tomacco juice!

I think that it is now time for scientists to cross the banana with the opium plant and start selling banopiums. Jummie
 
Mmmm ... banopiums ... aaaaahhhhh

Dude ... stop. That's just not kind.

Yet another thing to wish for.

Probably more successful than a cokeburger with methcheese.
