By the way, don't eat eggs and ham which are literally green. [[Broken Aesop|You'll probably get food poisoning]].

* In an episode of ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police (Animation)|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'', Sam & Max go after a guy named [[Punny Name|Kent Standit]], who has banned their favorite snack, Glazed McGuffins. Following several [[The Cat Came Back|contrived]] [[Conveyor Belt O Doom|misadventures]], they manage to force-feed it to him by literally throwing it down his throat. Shortly after he declares his fondness for McGuffins (and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this trope), he tells Sam & Max that he will be going after another snack that the duo happen to love. Big mistake.

Big mistake.

* An episode of ''[[Rugrats]]'' had the characters going to the "Reptar on Ice" spectacular. Grandpa Lou was vehemently opposed to going, but once the show began, he was enthralled, and by the end, could only offer up this stunned observation: "Brilliance... sheer brilliance."

* In ''[[Spongebob SquarePants]]'', Squidward vehemently refused to try a Krabby Patty, but when pressed by Spongebob, became a raving addict (though at first he tried to keep his obsession secret). "They'll go straight to your thighs! And ''then'' you'll blow up!"

Line 104:

* A minor version occurs in the ''[[Sushi Pack]]'' episode "The Yam Yakkers." Tako insists he isn't excited about Vince Face, the actor who plays [[Show Within a Show|Aquabot-boy]], showing up for the new movie's premiere, as he's a fan of the character only. Yet when face-to-face with Vince, he can't help asking for an autograph, and Maguro is quick to remind him of what he said earlier.

* In ''[[Frisky Dingo]]'', rapper Ta'Quil becomes instantly hooked to NASCAR after watching his first race, sporting a racing jacket afterwards.

* ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has the episode "Read it and Weep", where [[Jerk Jock|Rainbow Dash]] realizes to her horror that she loves reading the [[Two Fisted Tales|Daring Do book]] Twilight gave her, especially after her earlier outburst about how books are only for eggheads. She then tries to hide her newfound obssession from her friends, which is quite hard to do when she experiences Just One More Page syndrome. Naturally, the Aesop of the episode was "I shouldn't knock something until I've tried it".

* A mild example in one of the ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'' shorts (before it became a full-blown series): Jimmy is very reluctant to try cream corn for supper, despite his mother reassuring him that it's good. So he scoops it into his [[Bag of Holding|Hypercube]] while his parents are busy talking. This backfires when his dad spots the cube, mistakes it for a brainteaser puzzle, and starts fiddling with it the until cream corn it was storing explodes all over the room. Some gets in his mouth and he comments in an offhand, pleasantly surprised tone, "Oh. That ''is'' good."

* [http://www.11points.com/Food-Drink/11_Strange,_and_Often_Wrong,_Colored_Foods_and_Drinks 11 Strange, and Often Wrong, Colored Foods and Drinks]... Humorously, it was the white mint chocolate chip ice cream, and not the [[Palette Swapped Alien Food|Green Eggs]] (sans ham).

* [[NASCAR]] tends to have this effect on people once they attend a race in person.

* At least half of Bronies, adult fans of ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', have a story of disliking the show before they gave it a shot.

* Many people who dismissed ''[[American Dad]]'' as a ''[[Family Guy]]'' clone were pleasantly surprised once they actually watched the former.
