* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim Joking Victim]]," [[CoolBigSis Amethyst]] uses magical "fire salt" on some fries she gives [[KidHero Steven]] at the start of the episode. Later, he and [[StraightMan Sadie]] try using it on a doughnut for [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Lars]] as revenge for him skipping work ([[WomanScorned among other things]]); between them using too much and it getting stuck in his throat he winds up running crazily through the town, breathing fire. In this case it's actually played semi-seriously as a near-DeadlyPrank.

* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'', the animals' SitcomArchNemesis Eugene a.k.a. Snotty Boy gives them personal pizzas full of hot sauce, causing all of them to breathe fire, barring Pip, who being Spanish has a resistance to spicy foods and calls the others lightweights.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'' episode "Mixel Moon Madness", the Orbitons' food is this to the Infernites, who already have fire-breathing abilities, but this food just kickstarts it even further. Possibly justified, as space can dull taste buds considerably, so extra heat is needed to even have the ability to taste the food. But even then, not even the ''other'' Orbitons are interested in Rokit's [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce hot sauce]].

* Averted and [[LampshadeHanging a lampshade hung thereupon]] by ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer;" as Homer eats bowl after bowl of red-hot chili containing "insanity peppers" with no ill effects, Dr. Hibbert remarks "By all medical logic, steam ought to be pouring out of his ears." Adds Krusty, "His ears if we're ''lucky''." He coated the inside of his mouth with wax for protection from the pepper's heat, but soon after swallowing they ''do'' cause him to hallucinate for a whole night.

Normally he can only breathe small soot clouds. (He was clearly a little rusty, having not done it for several centuries.)

** This shows up in the first claymation short shown during the intro before the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E5ShopAroundTheClock Shop Around The Clock]]", where Bogus attempts to put some pepper on tomato soup, but there isn't any pepper. This prompts Bogus to eat ''an entire container'' of ground pepper without any ill effects, but it's when he takes a taste of the tomato soup that he starts blowing fire.
** Averted in the third act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS2E2BabysittingBogus Babysitting Bogus]]", as while Bogus does inadvertently suck up a bowlful of chili peppers, he doesn't turn red in the face or breathe fire as he just has a spastic reaction to the spiciness of the peppers.

* This even happens in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' ...[[FridgeLogic even though the show is set underwater]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Hidden Talent", Ron Stoppable purposely performs the trope using hot sauce for a talent show.
* Averted and [[LampshadeHanging a lampshade hung thereupon]] by ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer;" as Homer eats bowl after bowl of red-hot chili containing "insanity peppers" with no ill effects, Dr. Hibbert remarks "By all medical logic, steam ought to be pouring out of his ears." Adds Krusty, "His ears if we're ''lucky''." He coated the inside of his mouth with wax for protection from the pepper's heat, but soon after swallowing they ''do'' cause him to hallucinate for a whole night.
** Played straight earlier in the same episode, as Homer's uninsulated tongue glows neon red when it comes in contact with a Guatemalan Insanity Pepper. It evaporates anything less than an armful of liquid on contact.
** Also played straight in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'', when Homer is revived by the Inuit woman.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' episode "Have a Joyous Little Animas", eating a plate of wasabi causes Adam to breathe fire ''through his nose''.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials A Garfield Christmas Special]]'', Grandma spikes Mom Arbuckle's sausage gravy with chili powder ("Who am ''I'' to tell you how to make gravy? The Green Country gravy champion, that's who!"), and Garfield ends up spewing a gout of flame as a result. ("Perfect.")
* An early example comes in the Walt Disney cartoon ''Donald's Nephews'' (1938), when Huey, Dewey, and Louie feed DonaldDuck a slice of pie that's been doctored with mustard.

* In the ''SushiPack'' episode "Red Hot Chili Planet," Ben had to pass along a message from Wasabi to the others, but since Wasabi [[TheUnintelligible speaks "mustard"]], Ben has trouble getting the inflection right. Ikura suggests he drink some hot sauce to get it right, and with one drop, Ben is breathing fire (and starts speaking "mustard")!
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', Elmyra accidentally feeds Dizzy Devil a can of hot chili instead of dog food. Cue the eyes watering up, breaths of flame, then running to the shower to put out the fire.
* Happens more than once in ''CatDog'':
** In a high-quality restaurant, dog eats the sample chili peppers which cause Cat to belch out flames. This catches his dream-interest who happened to be in the restaurant, whom he entertains by fire-broiling her steak. This backfires later when he accidentally turns her pet dog into ashes.
** When CatDog get trapped in the reality of their favorite movie, Cat pours Dog's favorite candy snack, Red Hot Lip Smackers, into his mouth and uses him as a pistol to burn the enemy starships.
** A major problem for Cat whenever Dog uses too much hot sauce on his tacos. Because they're conjoined, the hot sauce passes from Dog's stomach to his, causing him to belch fire out of his mouth.
* Done realistically in one of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''' earlier episodes, "Waiter, there's a Baby In My Soup!", where Stu has no choice but to bring Tommy with him to an important business dinner with the president of Mucklehoney industries (a toy factory). Tommy wriggles out of his baby crib under their notice, and wanders into the kitchen where he pours garlic powder, pepper, and hot sauce into a chef's soup prepared for the president. Upon sampling the concoction, the president struggles all over the floor, gasping for water while Tommy returns inside a bowl of spaghetti.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Twilight Sparkle accidentally drinks some hot sauce, and though her face does turn red with a kettle-whistle effect, it's her ''mane'', not her breath, that turns to fire.
** Played straighter in the episode "Griffon the Brush-Off," when Gilda eats some vanilla-lemon drops tainted with hot pepper. [[RuleOfFunny Pinkie Pie even whips out a marshmallow to roast using her breath!]]
** Even Pinkie Pie herself falls victim to this; she breathes fire for a moment after literally tasting a rainbow in "Sonic Rainboom". The fire even turns multiple colors. Keep in mind that Pinkie is seen eating a cupcake drenched in hot sauce in the pilot episodes.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlack'' featured Agent Jay consuming alien salsa, resulting in him temporarily developing fire powers.
* Semi-invoked in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. When Iroh attempts to teach Zuko [[ShockAndAwe lightning bending]], they start off with ASpotOfTea.
--> '''Iroh:''' To perform the technique requires peace of mind.
--> '''Zuko:''' I see. That's why we're drinking tea. To calm the mind.
--> '''Iroh:''' ({{beat}}) ... [[SureLetsGoWithThat Oh yeah, good point!]]
** Why do I say semi-invoked? Second season finale...
---> '''Iroh:''' Did I ever tell you how I got the nickname the "Dragon of the West?"
*** Because after he's chugged a whole cup of tea, he can ''[[BreathWeapon breathe enough fire]] to overfill a good-sized room.'' That's right, tea is a ''Fire Breathing Din'''N'''er'' for Iroh!
* Happens a couple of times in ''ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' when Scooby and Shaggy eat the Moonscar Island peppers.
* This actually happened to Iggy in the ''[[ComicStrip/LittleLulu The Little Lulu Show]]'' episode, "Tiny Tots Syrup", after eating some apparently spicy candies in order to get the terrible taste of said tonic out of his mouth.
* When Heffer eats Hot Tamales in the ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' episode "Spitballs" and is about to do this, Rocko points him to the opposite direction. The duck that was sitting next to him becomes a cooked goose.
* ''TazMania'': Happens in "Francis takes a Stand" when Francis switches Taz's lemonade recipe for a hot sauce recipe. Taz's resulting fire breath scorches Francis like a flamethrower. When Francis tries to turn the tables on Taz and takes a swig of the lemonade/hot sauce, his fire breath acts like a jet engine and propels him into a cliff.
