* ''[[Shadowgirls]]'' also [http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/forbidden-fruit/ get in on the fun].
* The video game ''[[Spider-Man Friend or Foe]]'' has a fun reference, as one of Spidey's post-battle quips is along the lines of "I could go for a fruit pie right about now."
** The tie-in game for the third movie had the Apocalypse gang stealing these at every frakking opportunity, with everyone openly referring to them with the full trope name. Spidey would actually [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] this, by asking "without fruit pies, what'll I use to distract supervillains?" In addition, there'd occasionally be a truck driver with a dodgy Indian accent who would protest that he couldn't deliver
* Parodied in ''[[Green Lantern]] Secret Files And Origins'', which featured "the tastiest Green Lantern / [[Flash]] team-ups ever!" First the [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] GL and Flash defeat Nazi saboteurs with the aid of Secret Files candy bars, and their secret ingredient. Then the [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] incarnations use the "space age taste" of Secret Files bars to expose alien criminals disguised as alien policemen (the real policemen absorb energy). Finally the [[The Modern Age of Comic Books|Modern Age]] versions (Kyle Rayner and Walter West<ref>Not Wallace "Wally" West - it's complicated but involves parallel universes and Abra Kadabra</ref>) are halfway through an ad for Secret Files Powerbars, before Kyle starts complaining it doesn't make sense. "We defeat the bad guy by giving him ''food''? And why is he standing at ground zero of his own weapon anyway? [[Who Writes This Crap?|Who wrote this]]?" While Kyle argues with the director of what now turns out to be a TV ad, and learns they're still working off Alan and Jay's contracts, Walter learns that the "secret ingredient" is ''sugar''.
* ''[[The Onion]]:'' [http://www.theonion.com/content/node/32002 Spiderman Distracts Dr. Octopus With Delicious Hostess Fruit Pies]
* ''[[Killroy And Tina]]'' shows us [http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/killroyandtina.php?name=killroyandtina&view=single&ID=4594 the way it should work.]
* Appears oddly enough in the second season of ''[[Darker than Black]]''
* Parodied by Marvel Comics in the issue of ''Marvel Team-Up'' released as part of the infamous mid-80's "Assistant Editor's Month", entitled "Aunt May and Franklin Richards vs. Galactus". In this particular story Galactus took [[Spider-Man|Aunt May]] as his new herald (under the name "Golden Oldie") after which she halted his latest attempt to devour the Earth by serving him "Grosstest Twinkles".
* Marvel also parodied this in their early-90's comedy title "WHAT THE..?!", where a hero offers "Stinkies" cupcakes to The Blob, whose whole gimmick is that he's fat. The Blob is initially overjoyed, but after reading the full list of ingredients of the wrapper and seeing that the treat is full of saturated fats, he proceeds to beat the stuffing out of the hero. "I'm trying to lose weight, you're not helping!"
