Line 397:
* [[Bubble Bobble]] and [[Rainbow Islands]] are teeming with [[Kawaisa]]. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in world 4 of [[Rainbow Islands]], where all of the enemies are toys and it has even brighter colors than the other worlds.
* A literal version in [[The Several Journeys of Reemus]] -- the honey made by Sugar Bees is so potently sweet that ingesting even a small amount will cause a temporary diabetic coma while the body sorts out all this extra sugar. Injection works just as well, so any schmuck with a dart gun can ''weaponize'' the effect.
* In contrast to the somber [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moy2gSOgFvU Tragic Marionette] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdtJj5hwDGc Sinful Rose's Fragrance] that play of the [[Game Over|Game Overs]] of the first two [[Disgaea]] games, [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]] has the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eywOADyH7JM Maritsu Evil Academy Entrance Applicant Recruiting CM Song]: a tune so peppy and cheerful that most fans suspect that the game is making fun of them for dying.

* ''[[Duckman]]''. Duckman's two teddy bear assistants' Fluffy and Uranus sweeter-than-sweet behavior often results in Duckman ''literally'' pulling the stuffing out of them in the most violent way possible.

Of course, she's [[Older Than They Look|really a thirty-year-old]] [[Yandere (disambiguation)|insane]] woman who merely [[The Fake Cutie|acts like a little girl]] thanks to her massive issues stemming from being a [[Former Child Star]] whose body never matured past childhood.
* The ''[[Care Bears]]'' have a reputation for this (it's what "The Dummi Bears", a [[Show Within a Show]] on ''[[Rugrats]]'', was inspired by) - and they ''are'' a group of pastel-colored teddy bears, but the extent of its [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] status is more a case of the [[Weird Al Effect]].
** Though the overbearing cuteness in the first two movies are thankfully eclipsed by the films' ''darker'' undertones which, like any series or movie with a [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]] position, pretty much kill off any chance of it being ''completely'' saccharine. Plus, in retrospect, the so-called saccharine scenes in the first two movies and the original TV series are nothing compared to the Care Bears movies and TV series of today, as well as some other kids' franchises, to say the least.
