* ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]''

* Woogles become this in ~~''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' during~~ "Arthur Rides the Bandwagon". Arthur at first scoffs at the idea of Woogles, saying they look "dweeby". Soon enough, however, everyone in his class has a Woogle; by the time Arthur has a nightmare about being ostracized due to not having a Woogle, they're all sold out of the stores. Muffy has the rare ones, and has a guidebook on how much each is worth; the one she offers to sell to Arthur is worth ''thirty dollars''. Grandma Thora tries to explain that it's just a fad, using David's pet rock as an example, but Arthur doesn't understand until he makes bottlecaps the new trend.
