This trope covers instances when a character eats or drinks something that's not intended to be food. Most of the time, [[Senseless Phagia|the character is not aware of what they're consuming]]; typically results in a [[Spit Take]], [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]], or some other response once the discovery is made.

* In ''[[Blue Monday]]'', one of the events in an escalating prank war involved the boys sneaking pubic hair into the girls' food. When the girls find out, two of them shriek and fling their burgers away in disgust, but the third one doesn't mind the taste.
** I think the implication was that only the first two got pubes, not the third one. Could be wrong, though.
* And, of course, there's ''[[Chew]]'', whose protagonist psychically knows the entire past of everything he eats (except beets). He ends up using his powers to [[

* In an issue of ''[[Secret Six]]'', Cheshire and Dr. Psycho dined with [[Vandal Savage]] after failing him. During the meal, Cheshire suspiciously asks what the food was. The answer:
{{quote|Shut up and eat your {{spoiler|Grundy}}.}}
* ''[[Hellblazer]]'' had a story where [[Satan|the First of the Fallen]] showed up to collect the soul of Constantine's friend Brendan, a consummate drinker and magician. One of his last tricks was performing a working that would turn a spring under his house into pure stout, and John claims to want to "upstage" Brendan by sharing a drink with the prince of darkness. It's only once the stout goes down that John reveals the spring was blessed by a saint, making the base of the stout holy water. The First's reaction: "Interesting -- what?" [[Holy Burns Evil|And then John cuts off the spell, turning the stout back into holy water.]]

* A terribly funny ''[[Knights of the Old Republic (video game)|Knights of the Old Republic]]'' Dark Side Exile and Dark Side Crew invokes this. After a night of Dark Jedi revelry and backstabbing, the crew goes back to the Hawk. {{spoiler|Where Visas Marr fixes cakes for dessert. Of course, seeing as they're all Dark Jedi, they end up arguing, lightsabers get involved, and half the crew dies.

* Poor Frankie has to endure one of these in the ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4998299/1/Have_a_Drink_on_Me Have a Drink on Me]'' after she and the reader realize what the juice she is given really is. {{spoiler|Wilt also kills and/or cooks Cheese and Terrance as well as Bloo, but thankfully no one almost eats them.}}
* In a [[Breather Episode]] of ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure Blue Moon]]'', Binbeat, who's [[Never Grew Up|perpetually]] [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|nine]] and can't read Japanese, accidentally eats the moldy bread from Mia's science project. He's sick for the rest of the day and doesn't even bother fighting back when his [[Monster of the Week]] is defeated, just going home and complaining about a stomachache.
* In "Skittles", a ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic, Pinkie Pie invents a new candy made to taste like Rainbow Dash's saliva. She also invents 'Rainbow Dash Spicy Muffins'. You don't want to know where she got that flavor.

* In ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]'', a cop who pulls Lloyd and Harry over takes a sip from a bottle of pee which he thought was beer ([[Potty Emergency|Lloyd had to go to the bathroom]] ''[[Potty Emergency|that]]'' [[Potty Emergency|badly]]). They try to warn him, though after sipping, he immediately turns nauseated and tells them to get out of there.
** Also happens when an enemy poses as a friendly hitchhiker, intending to drop pellets of rat poison into Harry and Lloyd's food. Before he can succeed in this, he needs first aid for a stomach ulcer flareup (which was induced by Harry and Lloyd's own practical joking). Harry and Lloyd try to administer his emergency medication, but they mistakenly feed him the rat poison instead.

* In ''[[Caddyshack]]'', people freak out on seeing what appears to be a turd floating in the pool (it's actually a candy bar), so they have Carl empty it and steam clean it. Carl then finds it, realizes it's a candy bar, and eats it (the swells still think it's a turd). Of course, considering it's been floating in [[Urine Trouble|pool water]], that's still pretty gross.
* In ''[[The Lost Boys]]'', the way someone's turned into a half-vampire is by being tricked into drinking blood, being told it's wine.

* In ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'', [[Weird Al]]'s friend accidentally eats dog biscuits during the filming of a kid's TV show. As he's in character as "Bobbo the Clown", he has to fake a smile even as he's grossed out by the taste of the "cookies" he's supposed to be doing a product placement for.

* In ''[[National Lampoon's Vacation]]'', during a rest stop, the family is eating lunch in a park. However they realize the food smells rather funky and is soggy. It's then that Ellen realizes that Aunt Edna's dog has wet on the basket. Clark, who was busy ogling a girl he had seen on the highway and had taken a bite of a sandwich, promptly spits it out. Edna on the other hand, shrugs and continues eating her sandwich.

<!-- Note: Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus" is an example of I'm A Humanitarian, not this trope. -->
* In ''[[Animorphs]]'', Ax's [[Sense Freak]] tendencies resulted in him eating non-foods on several occasions. He's lucky that [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|morphing]] heals.

* In re-prints of the novel ''[[Fight Club]]'', Palahniuk adds a foreword.

** His subsequent novel ''Choke'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20100915113830/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/chuck-palahniuk-american-scream-758121.html has a character based on that waiter,] complete with soup urination.

The sire is then [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad|dragged downstairs to the basement]], and it is revealed to be the blood of the now dead {{spoiler|Scottish girl who was only in Wales on holiday with her family, whom Hal had been sort of dating}}. The sire is similarly horrified, and the two reveals of the source of the blood are juxtaposed.

* ''[[The Secret Show]]'' has a whole episode revolving around this. Anita appears to have caused an international incident by, while disguised as The World Leader, eating an alien ambassador. However, when the rest of the species shows up, the rest of humanity eats them as well (everyone except vegans, as the aliens smell like any given individual's favorite type of meat/fish). Those who do eat them, however, turn into deformed splotchy versions of themselves, until a second wave of (dessert-scented/flavored) aliens shows up. It turns out that humanity is actually part of an alien reproductive cycle; once the two aliens are eaten, the victim burps up a new baby alien, restoring themselves to normal.
* ''[[Futurama]]'' has a lot of humor with [[Alien Lunch]] Trope, but most of the time the character intentionally consumes it. Examples for when it's ''unintentional''...
** In the episode "The Problem with Popplers", it turned out those delicious popplers just happened to be {{spoiler|intelligent alien babies. The episode ends with the Planet Express Crew agreeing that eating intelligent species is wrong - [[Hypocritical Humor|so they eat a smorgasbord buffet of unintelligent animals instead, including a suckling pig and a dolphin who wasted all his money on instant lottery tickets]]}}.
** Made even more explicit and [[Squick]]-worthy in the episode "A Leela of Her Own" with the Cygnoids' pizza parlor.

* In the ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' episode [[Hiccup Hijinks|"As I Lay Hiccuping"]], Johnny gets the hiccups and goes between curing them and getting them again. At one point, he eats something neighborhood geek Carl bought. Carl says that he didn't know that Johnny was a fan of slug kibble. Johnny spits it out upon hearing that and shivers.
{{quote|'''Carl''': Gee Johnny, I never knew you were such a fan of slug kibble!
'''Johnny''': ''(with mouth full)'' "Slug... kibble?" ''(spits out slug kibble, shivers)'' }}
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'':
** In one episode, [[Grim Reaper|Grim]] sells cookies made of some exotic ingredients. At the end, it is revealed that the secret ingredients are {{spoiler|bugs, ticks, and nightcrawlers}}. When the secret gets out, {{spoiler|people pause for a second, stare at the cookies, and then go back to eating them}}. To be fair, they are ''really'' good cookies.
** Another episode had Grim and Mandy giving Billy a bag of special "steak sauce" which Grim got "fresh from the lawn". Billy has used it as a "shampoo" as well. Said stuff (which Billy eventually finds out at the end of the episode) is made from

* There are several episodes of ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' in which Shaggy and Scooby enjoy delicious soup cooking over a stove or on a fire, only to be informed that what they just enjoyed was somebody's washwater for their laundry. Cue urping up bubbles.
* One episode of ''[[Kim Possible]]'' had Ron and Rufus finding a bag of chips that belonged to the current client and began eagerly eating them... at least, until the client tells them the chips were made from crickets.
* The episode "Onwards and Upwards" of ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]] Adult Party Cartoon'' dealt with Ren and Stimpy living in a spittoon and savoring many of the... er,
* A few ''[[Freaky Stories]]'' involve this, like:
** A gourmet escaped from prison, starved for food with a bad cold finds a building without power and eats the contents of its fridge in the dark, wakes up to find it was laboratory and the fridge was full of human organs.
** A glutton in a dormitory steals someone else's food overnight, not realizing it was in fact full of animal skulls full of mealworms.
* An episode of ''[[The Proud Family]]'' involves Suga Mama's lemon squares becoming massively popular to the point of ending up on ''[[Oprah]]''. This is the part where the whole world discovers that when she says she "puts her foot in it," she means it literally. [[Don't Explain the Joke|As in sticks her foot in the batter]]. The audience promptly starts hacking.
* ''[[Captain Planet]]'' combined this trope with [[Cool, Clear Water]] in one episode: Kwame drinks a bottle full of river water, unaware Wheeler didn't boil the water thoroughly. As it turns out, the water is polluted (Dr. Blight and Sly Sludge were operating a sewage dumping operation upstream), and the other Planeteers have to go on a [[Fantastic Voyage]] to blast the parasites from inside his body. The episode had an [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]] at the end teaching viewers how to purify water.
** In another episode, Wheeler gets sick when he unwittingly eats squid in its own ink. At the end of the episode, Wheeler eats grubs, thinking it's pasta. The other planeteers decide not to tell him.

* In ''[[The Smurfs]]'' episode "Hogatha's Heart Throb", Gargamel disguised as Hogatha's dream date is offered a refreshment that he enjoys until the witch reveals that he was drinking "snail mead".
* One memorable episode of ''[[The Flintstones]]'' starts with Barney at Fred's house asking Wilma where Fred is (he's working late) and Wilma lets Barney take the last bottle of Cactus Cola before he leaves, not knowing that Fred was saving it. When Fred does get home, exhausted, hot, and thirsty, and finds that Barney took it, he blows a fuse, goes to Barney's house, where Barney is now washing his car, chews his friend out, and sees what he thinks is the Cactus Cola on the hood of the car, and grabs and drinks it. Only when Barney is able to get a word in edgewise does Fred realize he just drank Barney's car polish. Of course, it just gets worse from there. Fred [[Freak-Out|freaks out]], knocks himself out by throwing the bottle in the air and hitting his head with it, and when he wakes up, his personality has changed, and things just get sillier.
