* If you see the phrase "juice extract" appearing on the label of a "100% fruit juice" beverage, then no matter what else the package may claim, sugar has been added... but since that sugar was ''extracted'' from juice, it somehow doesn't count. You can even eat a brownie from an alleged "health food" store that contains ''no'' sugar, but copious amounts of "cane juice extract"... yeah. Figure that one out.

* Many Krusty Brand products in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' TV show and comic books fall under this trope: the Krusty Burger (a "meat-flavored sandwich"), Krusty Partially Gelatinated Non-Dairy Gum-Based Beverage, Krusty's Non-Dairy Non-Ice Cream Whey Product Sandwich, and Krusty Brand Bite-A-Min's Imitation Vitamins. And Krusty Burger's Beef-Flavored Chicken. At least they were honest about their Whatchamacarcass Sandwich.

* ''[[King of the Hill]]'' had Hank go into a health food store and get "not dogs". They're hot dogs made from tofu. He responded that he was allergic to tofu. Not surprisingly, they had fauxfu.
