Les Schtroumpfs

Unlike the cartoon series, where the main staple of the Smurfs' diet is Smurfberries, in the comics it is sarsaparilla (smilax regelii), a plant native to the Americas used as an ingredient for soft drinks like root beer. Peyo's partner Yvan Delporte introduced it to the comics because he found the name magical ("salsepareille" in French), and the word seemed so foreign to Peyo he originally believed Delporte made it up.

If one watches a "Smurfs Adventure" (the show's name during syndication) episode in Spanish on Boomerang or Cartoon Network, the last half of "The Smurfy Way" plays instead of the music from the syndicated intro.
