Whats the connection to Bart Simpson?

Whats the connection to Bart Simpson? - Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco California

In Ninja Turtles 2 (1991) when the TGRI professor and the turtles are making the antidote for Tokka and Rahzar, he turns to the camera, twice with the antidote in a glass that has Bart Simpson on it. It was pretty prominent so I have to ask, what's the connection there?
