Another classic!!

The reason the Simpsons have remained iconic for multiple decades is thanks to episodes like this one that laid the foundation for the show.

Homer loving a sour sandwich, to Lisa becoming the a Lizard Queen this episode really showed how the writing staff was really hitting their stride and setting the tone for future episodes. Hilariously funny and infinitely quotable,

After Lisa drinks the water and goes crazy:

Man: Take this, then this, then these. (Handing Selma pulls)

Selma: Thank you doctor.

Man: Oh, I'm not a doctor.
