Line 30:
* ''[[Pokémon]]'', Miltank milk, as Ash and his entourage quickly find out after Whitney - who raises Miltank on her family's farm - offers it to them; Whitney actually sells it, along with milk-based products made from it like cheese, butter, and ice cream.
* In ''[[Space Dandy]]'', the ramen sold by "Pops" at his small stand on the other side of a wormhole. An alien of an unspecified race, he has spent ''thousands'' of years perfecting his recipe for ramen noodles, and he seems to have succeeded, the stuff he sells being ambrosia-like in quality.
* In an episode of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'', the duelist mercenary Noodle Sorako claims to be an alien from a planet where cooking ramen is the "hat" of her people. Regardless of whether this is true or not, when she shares it with the cast, they have ''power fantasies'' when they try it.

Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* The... stuff from ''[[The Stuff]]'' is highly addictive. [[Body Horror|Possibly because it slowly takes over your mind.]]
* ''[[God of Cookery]]'' has two dishes that qualify: Pissing Beef Balls and Sorrowful Rice. Both cause people to drift off into [[Imagine Spot|their imaginations]] while [[Orgasmically Delicious|writhing about]]. (For those wondering, the former is a meat ball with juicy shrimp inside that squirts when bit into. The latter is just a well-made BBQ pork rice bowl.)
* Of course, [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory| Willy Wonka]] has always been known for this, but in the prequel movie ''[[Wonka]]'', this is taken [[Up to Eleven]], where his skills border on alchemy and the chocolate he creates is literally magic, containing essence of joy and hope. It convinces an insecure man to propose to his sweetheart (she says yes) and convinces one of the [[Big Bad]]'s enforcers to [[Love Redeems| reconcile with her estranged lover]]. Most importantly it convinces Noodle and their fellow debt slaves that freedom is possible, leading all of them (and Wonka himself) to truly [[Earn Your Happy Ending| earn their happy ending]].

Line 95 ⟶ 97:
* The Ultimate Dessert in ''[[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?]]''
** Likewise the Rare Pudding from the Sea of Gehenna in [[Disgaea Infinite]].
* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' has a series of [[Short
* In ''[[EarthBound]]'', the Delisauce condiment. Nobody knows what it tastes like, but it makes everything incredibly delicious (thereby maximizing its [[Hyperactive Metabolism|recovery effects]]).
* The sunny side up dragon egg in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'', which prompts Mao to give a lengthy speech about how good it is.
Line 107 ⟶ 109:
* The "Sinner's Sandwich" from ''[[Deadly Premonition]]'' contains turkey, cereal, and strawberry jam. York is initially convinced that it's to punish the sinners. Then he tries one, and it's ''delicious''. [[Defictionalization|So did the fans,]] and it [[Truth in Television|really is pretty damn tasty]].
* Oko San's route in ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'' culminates with him and the heroine leaving school on a quest to find the mythical True Pudding, a seven-colored dessert so perfect that one bite will grant the consumer eternal happiness.
* In ''[[Monster Girl Quest]]'', Ama-Ama-Dango, a sweet food available at Illiasburg’s posh luxury inn, made from rice and special Happiness Honey, the latter of which is made by beekeepers in Happiness Village. Alice loves it, and when she finds that Happiness Village has been taken over by the Harpys, she directs Luka to make a stop there.

Line 130 ⟶ 133:
:* Homer also once made a deal with the devil for his soul in exchange for the perfect donut. He tries to cheat <s> Flanders</s> Satan by not finishing the donut.
:* There's also the trip to the gummy bear festival.
{{quote|'''Homer:''' In this sweet land,
::* Zigzagged with "tomacco" -- a hybrid of tobacco and tomato that Homer accidentally discovers. Ralph says they [[Tastes Like Feet| "taste like grandma"]], and his father agrees with him, but they are so addictive that anyone who tries them wants more and more.
* ''[[Adventure Time]]'':
** The episode "Tree Trunks" centers on Jake and Finn's quest to get the eponymous little green elephant through the dangerous forest so she can taste the legendary Crystal Gem Apple herself. It's so good that she ''[[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|vanishes into another realm]],'' and turns into an evil goddess of said realm.
