The Simpsons fans discover true meaning behind Maggie in iconic opening credits

ok.co.uk:

The Simpsons has been gracing our screens for a whopping 35 years - but some fans are only just discovering why little Maggie is scanned at the supermarket checkout during the show's iconic intro.

Those who regularly tune in will know the youngest member of The Simpsons clan, Maggie, is 'accidentally' scanned when her mum, Marge, finishes her shopping.

However, only the most observant fans will have spotted the 'value' that flashes up on the checkout when the worker scans through the family's usual groceries.

This led one curious Simpsons fan to ask on Reddit: "What does it say on the price thing when Maggie gets scanned in the intro?" In the first few seasons of the show, the price reflects the average monthly cost of raising a child in the US in 1989.
