== Advertising ==
* A [[Channel 4]] "''[[Friends]]'' is sponsored by Nescafe" clip had two women drinking coffee. The one with the huge cream cake in front of her was offered the sugar and reacted with horror, taking sweeteners out of her handbag.

== Comic Books ==
* [[Marvel Comics]] once did a gag issue of its ''What If?'' title, featuring short gags of a single page or less. One gag was "What If [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] had an eating problem instead of a drinking problem?" The first panel shows an overweight Stark telling his date he can stop eating anytime he wants to, then he gives the waiter his order: "I'll have a ''cow'', medium rare. And a Tab."
== Fan Works ==
* Subverted in ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'': Alex ''needs'' all the calories she can consume to fuel her superpowers, but despite this she drinks Diet Coke because she ''likes the taste''.
