{{trope}}
A very exotic device or problem, against which all manner of intricate, powerful devices or strategies fail, is counteracted by something incredibly simple and mundane. It can't be solved by their conventional solutions of [[More Dakka]], [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]], diplomacy, or other [[Rule of Cool]] applications. [[Applied Phlebotinum]], it seems, often turns out to have a [[Achilles' Heel|weakness]] to some [[Weaksauce Weakness|household product]].
Supernatural beings in both Eastern and Western mythology have a tendency for strange weaknesses, like a demon's obsessive-compulsive need to count dropped grains of rice or a vampire's vulnerability to garlic and sunlight.
