Line 26:
Some shows seem to use this trope especially. It has been observed that ''[[The Simpsons]]'' use it to shift the Character Focus of the episode by eliminating not needed characters. Examples: the oysters eliminated everyone leaving only Bart and Skinner, on which the episode was focused. (They even acknowledged that it made no sense that Lisa got ill but they just [[Handwaved]] it.) The vegetables make the whole family sick so Lisa started her singing career.
Compare [[Water Source Tampering]], [[Tampering with Food and Drink]] and [[Spitting in the Customer's Food]].
