Line 34:
* [[Ciaphas Cain]], '''[[Memetic Mutation|HERO OF THE IMPERIUM]]''' often refers to Imperial standard ([[Human Resources|corpse starch]]) ration bars as equally unpalatable and indestructible. The bars he abandoned in a life pod during the first invasion of Perlia may still be good during the second... eighty years later.
** The bars can survive several forms of Exterminatus, {{spoiler|though anyone being around to eat them after is questionable}}.
* Kylara's aunt sends her some utterly impervious fruitcakes at the beginning of [[Elizabeth Moon]]'s ''
* Dwarf bread in ''[[Discworld]]'' is, technically speaking, edible... but it's more commonly used as [[Baguette Beatdown|a blunt instrument]]. The prospect of actually having to ''eat'' dwarf bread is apparently so dreadful, it keeps people going in hopes they can find something else to eat, like roots and berries. Or their own feet.
** Common dwarf joke: to make a meal of Dwarf bread, soak it in a bucket for a month. Then eat the bucket.
Line 51:
* There was a joke about this on ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'', where Munch tries to get Fin to eat the contents of some long-dead kid's lunchbox.
* From ''[[Lost]]'':

'''Hurley:''' Stacks of TV dinners from [[The Fifties|the 50's]], or something. And TVs with cable, some cell phones, clean socks, soap, Twinkies -- you know, for dessert, after the TV dinners. Twinkies keep for, like, 8000 years, man. }}
* Alton cleared up the prejudice towards fruitcake (and provided another form of an above joke) in a recent [[Good Eats]].
Line 80:
* On ''[[Family Guy]]'', the family goes on a journey to find a twinkie factory after a nuclear apocalypse, figuring that the twinkies would be the only thing to survive.
* From the ''[[Kim Possible]]'' episode "Sink or Swim":

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' takes the Twinkie stereotype a step further when an enraged customer crushes one under his foot before storming out of the Kwik-E-Mart. It quickly pops back into shape after Apu picks it up.

** Apparently, they can also ferment, as Homer kept one in the wall safe for ten years to see if it turned to liquor. The next scene has him drinking the filling through a straw, clearly drunk off his ass.
* An episode of ''[[Futurama]]'' involves an auction for a tin of thousand-year-old anchovies. Although everyone else finds Fry's anchovy pizza utterly disgusting when they try it, Fry and Zoidberg don't seem to have any problems eating it, implying they are still at least fresh enough for an anchovy lover to eat.
* The ''[[Earthworm Jim (animation)|Earthworm Jim]]'' episode "Trout!" had a nut log that was a running joke turned [[Chekhov's Gun]], as the 'foodstuff' in question was hard as, and heavy as, a rock.

** The [[Chekhov's Gun]] part comes into play when they fight Queen Slug-For-A-Butt, and the log becomes the perfect counter to her nigh-indestructible scepter. the 'nigh-' part coming into play as the log is thrown at her and parried with the scepter, only to shatter on contact. Yes, the scepter, not the nut log.
