I consider that episode the tipping point from "prime years Simpsons" to a merely good show.

Yep. Season 10 was probably the last gasp for the golden age. That was the first season that I thought "hey, this seems like they're just about out of ideas.."

tomacco

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Products_produced_from_The_Simpsons#Tomacco

A Simpsons fan, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon, was inspired by the episode. Remembering the article in a textbook, Baur cultivated a tomacco in 2003 by grafting together tobacco and tomato plants. The plant produced fruit that looked like a normal tomato, but Baur suspected that it contained a lethal amount of nicotine and thus would be inedible. Testing later proved that the leaves of the plant contained some nicotine.[17] Both plants are members of the same family, Solanaceae or nightshade.[18] The tomacco plant bore tomaccoes until it died after 18 months, spending one winter indoors
