* In ''[[Perdido Street Station]]'', there's a new drug going around New Crobuzon called dreamshit. Isaac feeds it to a strange caterpillar he has because it's the only thing it's interested in eating. Then [[It Got Worse]]. It turns out that {{spoiler|dreamshit is made from the secretions of captive adult slake-moths, which they use to feed their larvae. Slake-moths are [[Giant Spider|huge]], [[Intangible Man|phasing]], [[Brain Food|thought-eating]] monsters, and raw dreamshit is digested souls. And Isaac's caterpillar grows up.}}
** {{spoiler|The dreamshit Isaac feeds the caterpillar is cut with various other things, so it's not as pure as "milk" from an adult moth. This is stated to warp the baby somewhat.}}

* A [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] in ''[[South Park]]'' appears to the children as a taco... that poops ice cream on the kids' suggestion, after the alien tried countless other forms that they didn't like. [[Squick]] factor aside, it would probably be delicious. And Cartman is indeed shown eating the ice cream while the aliens check on the status of his probe.
* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' has an example from the [[Richie Rich (comics)|Richie Rich]]/''[[Cribs]]'' sketch. Rather than golden ''poop'', Richie Rich appears to literally shit ''bars'' of gold, leading to some... difficulty on his part.
* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' gives us NuFu, a sentient alien tofu creature bent on stealing the Earth's cows as an energy source. Part of its plan to accomplish this involves setting up a fast-food restaurant, "Mega Meaty Meat", whose entire menu (and manager!) is fake meat made of NuFu's "by-products."
* Humorously subverted in a wartime [[Looney Tunes]]/Merrie Melodies, where the goose that ONCE laid golden eggs is now patriotic and laying something even more valuable to her country: ALUMINUM eggs! Which she donates to the war effort before going back to laying more.
