In popular culture

Although they have been out of production since the 1950s, Laramie cigarettes have appeared on The Simpsons. In the episode "Lisa the Beauty Queen", they sponsor a child beauty pageant and have a corporate mascot named Menthol Moose, who can be seen at parades in Springfield. Laramie has also appeared in The Practice, during a storyline about a tobacco lawsuit. In the episode "Soft Light" of The X-Files, Laramie Tobacco is mentioned as a missing person's former workplace. Laramie was also the brand name used for cigarettes in the 1999 sci-fi horror game System Shock 2, but the packaging design resembled that of Marlboro; similar to the fictional Morley brand in many films and shows.
