* Dol feeds Meb grapes just prior to them having sex for the first time in "The Call of Earth", the second book in [[Orson Scott Card]]'s "Homecoming" series.

 

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20100923202029/http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/grapes/1199681/ This] ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch.

* The television version of ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'', during the Guide entry about luxury planets, showed a typical luxury-planet-owner reclining on a couch surrounded by scantily-clad women, who were feeding him individually-plucked morsels. Being cleaned by kisses, breast-rubbing, and so forth may be sensual, but it wouldn't make the grape taste very good. The guy promptly yawns and feeds the thing to his dog.

* Dora considers amending her employee's employment contracts to include feeding her grapes, in [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=452 this] ''[[Questionable Content]]'' strip.

 

* Not canon, but [[Touhou Project|this]] [http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=485572 picture], drawn most likely by an extreme fan of [[Baka|Cirno]].

* Caesars Palace in Las Vegas used to use a cartoon Caesar mascot, for example on its [http://www.casino-tokens.com/images/ProofCaesarsPalace66.jpg gaming tokens], who was depicted on a lounge chair, being fed grapes (Caesar was also holding a dagger, just in case).
