It's not only limited to Spaghetti, however. Any food with considerable length (hotdogs, waffles, noodles, as well as other types of long pasta like Fetuccine and Linguini) can qualify, as long as they can be eaten from opposite ends. Works originating from Japan usually invoke the trope by using [[Pocky]] sticks, a special kind of stick biscuit dipped in either chocolate or strawberry flavor, and of course, Japanese noodles (ramen, soba and such).
See also [[Sweetheart Sipping]], if it is a drink that is shared by the lovers.

== Disney ==
* Referenced but not actually done in ''[[
* Disney even incorporated a redux of this scene into ''Lady and the Tramp's'' own direct-to-video sequel. It actually includes the meatball bit but not the iconic spaghetti-strand kiss. Instead, Scamp licks some spaghetti sauce off of Angel's face.
* Timon and Pumbaa [[Ho Yay|accidentally kiss each other]] while eating a worm in a scene from ''[[The Lion King]] 1½''.
* Disney included ''another'' parody of it in ''[[House of Mouse]]'', with vaguely-canine-y-people Max Goof and his girlfriend, Roxanne.
** In fact, the spaghetti scene was referenced and parodied several times on ''[[House of Mouse]]'' by Lady and the Tramp
* Several years prior to that one, Disney did it ''again'' in the ''[[
* Yet ''another'' Disney parody in an episode of ''[[Recess]]'' where Mikey becomes friends with the school bully Kurst 'the Worst'. Once it's clear that they're sharing the same strand, Kurst belches and her end falls from her mouth, leaving Mikey to finish it.
* ''[[The Emperor's New Groove
* Disney also did a parody of it in one of the older Shaggy Dog movies, with the [[Involuntary Transformation|guy (in the sheepdog body)]], wondering why his sharing a plate of spaghetti with another dog seemed so familiar.
* This is almost done in the Phineas and Ferb Special "Summer Belongs to You...with [[Ho Yay|Buford and Baljeet]]. It only earns a shocked expression from the two and the plate of spaghetti being thrown onto Baljeet's head.
* In '102 Dalmations', when Kevin and Chloe go out on a date, we cut between their dogs at home, watching this scene in 'Lady and the Tramp', and them on their date, sharing spaghetti the same way.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAjAfBdwD40 Around the 1:05 mark.] The whole scene is hilarious.

* Brittany from ''[[Glee]]'' practices this when she thinks she'll be going to a restaurant with Artie (although she truly wants to go with Santana). Leads to a [[Tear Jerker]] when she pushes the meatball with her nose to... no one, because Artie dumps her and Santana is mad at her.

In the second, Mr. Burns does it with his girlfriend, but it's revealed that Homer, hiding nearby, is the one slurping Burns' spaghetti for him.
