3 mouse pads 1990 - 2000

“Get duffed!”
An official “The Simpsons” branded “Duff Beer” design, manufactured by Sunburst of Osnabrück. Sunburst is a German promotional products firm (“Werbeartikel”) from Osnabrück, known for crafting customized merchandise—think mouse pads, mugs, coasters—that companies distribute as branded goodies. Someone likely licensed Duff imagery to Sunburst for a limited promotional run. It was produced in 2000, and has the “TM & 2000 Fox” marking.

“Give me a break”
Probably produced in Italy in 1999, with text “Tappetino mouse” on sticker.

"Mega Bites"
The mouse pad is marked in the bottom right corner: "THE SIMPSONS 1990 FOX," which means the design and rights date back to 1990. The mouse pad itself was likely produced around that time or in the following years.

Given the style, the joke ("mmm... megabites"), and the packaging, this is a typical product from the early 1990s—a period when computers were becoming more popular and The Simpsons was just breaking through (the series began in 1989).

The "1990 FOX" designation confirms that this is an officially licensed item, which increases its collectible value.

The pun "megabites" is typical of the humor of that era and of Homer Simpson. This kind of geeky humor is popular with fans of retro computers and animation.

The mouse pad is still in its original packaging, which is rare for utensils of this age.
