** Skullwhomper Ale was initially brewed by a dragon who ''did'' intend to use it as an incendiary weapon. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080920130928/http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/gamespyarchive/index.php?date=2008-02-20 When it found out that people were stealing its concoction for drinking], it was so embarrassed that it gave Nodwick the recipe and completely gave up on its plan.

:** This is a recycled gag from an earlier cartoon: a Porky Pig cartoon titled "Curtain Razor". Porky is screening prospects for a talent agency, and a [[Running Gag]] involves one character constantly barging in to talk about a "super-colossal" act. When he finally gets to perform the act, he undergoes pretty much the same act (including the devil costume), and while the ingredients may not be exactly the same, the match and result are identical. Porky is stunned in amazement for the first and only time in the cartoon. Then, the ghost of the character walks back in and, like Daffy, says, "I can only do it once."
:* Yet another Daffy example occurs in the cartoon ''Mexican Joyride''. Daffy enters a Mexican bar, and, after an [[Fire-Breathing Diner|encounter with some of the local cuisine]] demands something to put the fire out. The bartender hands Daffy a glass of tequila, which he quickly downs - and then stiffens into a rigor mortis like state. The bartender picks Daffy up and chucks him into a nearby pile of similarly frozen patrons.

** In one episode, Bart and Milhouse drink a [[G-Rated Drug|Squishee "made entirely of syrup"]]. It is treated exactly like a Gargle Blaster, and even leads to a [[Drunken Montage]].
** Another episode features the Forget-Me-Shot, a concoction of Jägermeister, sloe gin, triple sec, ''quadruple'' sec, gunk from a dog's eye, "Absolut Pickle", the red stripe from Aquafresh toothpaste, and the venom of the Louisiana loboto-moth, stirred with a home pregnancy test (until it gets a positive response). The drink is so powerful it erases the previous 24 hours off of the drinker's memory.
** And there's the episode where Bart and Milhouse are in the Flanders house unsupervised, and they discover Ned's [[Beatles]] collection; they each down a can of 40-year-old Beatles-themed novelty soft drink, and Bart's causes him to briefly hallucinate about Milhouse as John Lennon.
** One episode has Homer visit a redneck town and develop a taste for "Fudd" beer, as opposed to his usual Duff.
* In [[Tex Avery]]'s ''The Shooting of Dan McGoo'', a character drinks a shot of ''straight whiskey'' and promptly shoots up to the ceiling like a rocket. When he lands, he complains, "This stuff's been cut," with Droopy adding, "Whaddaya want for 10 cents, gasoline?"
* Two episodes of the cartoon adaptation of ''[[The Mask (animation)|The Mask]]'' have gargle blaster drinks:
