* Unusually used as an actual plot point rather than (just) a brief gag in ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]''. In both the book and the second film, Veruca Salt is tested by squirrels to see whether she is a 'bad nut', bad nuts sounding empty when tapped. A squirrel taps her on the forehead, and when this produces a hollow sound, they dump her down the garbage chute with the other 'bad nuts'.
* Justified in ''[[Discworld/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]'', when Bill Door complains that the hailstones hitting him on the head make his skull echo. As Bill Door is [[The Grim Reaper]], it's [[Dem Bones|only to be expected]].
