The ''Literature/GiveYourselfGoosebumps'' book where you end up consuming mutagenic food that either shrinks or enlarges you.
You're staying at your aunt's house when your parents goes on a trip to Europe, as much as you hate it. Because your cousins are making life hell during your stay -- your older cousin Barney is a bully waiting to beat you up, while your younger cousin Dora keeps dragging you to play with her dolls. And your aunt, for some reason, insists that you say out from the basement.
So, avoiding Barney who intends to beat you to a pulp, you enter the basement and come across a fridge containing two items -- a chocolate cake, and a jar of peanut butter. And then you realize you're quite hungry...
Beware your choice of snack -- the eponymous peanut butter will make you shrink and be left at the mercy of rodents, lizards and Dora's hungry cat puff, while the cake will enlarge you instead, which, while initially sounding ideal, will result in government agents and the local military mistaking you as a monster...
----
!!This book provides examples of:
* AbsentMindedProfessor: It turns out the peanut butter and chocolate cake are injected with an experimental serum from the local professor, Dr. Abbott, who have zero knowledge of reversing the effects. Seeking the doctor's help will either have you turning into a living magnet, shrinking until you disintegrate, the doctor shrinking ''himself'', or in one ending, the two of you swapping bodies.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: While shrunken, you can actually tame a giant-sized (from your perspective anyway) lizard by rubbing its belly. Said lizard even licks your hand like a puppy would, and in the good ending where you restore yourself to normal, you feed that lizard some crumbs from the chocolate cake and gain an obediant giant lizard as a pet!
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In contrast to the titular peanut butter, eating the other food item, a stale chocolate cake (which might be laced with a certain green substance) makes the reader gigantic as opposed to tiny.
** Exaggerated in one bad ending; you end up growing so insanely huge that your head reaches the stratosphere, and you suffocate in the depths of outer space!
* BigBrotherBully: Well, Barney is your cousin, but he still fits under this trope.
* TheBully: Your cousin Barney simply ''loves'' beating you up. Even in front of the neighbourhood kids, your aunt, your other cousin Dora... one of the first things he did is to strong-arm you into a game of Hide-and Seek where "if he finds you, he gets to pummel you".
* CatsAreMean: Dora's cat Puff, who ''will'' chase after you in an attempt to devour you after you end up shrinking to the size of a mice from eating the peanut butter.
* TheDogBitesBack: Your cousin Barney delights in bullying you for no reason at all, but there are occasions in the first storyline where you gain extreme strength from eating the cake and get to pummel him back. As well as one ending in the shrinking storyline with you being restored to human size with a ''dinosaur-sized'' lizard as a bodyguard.
* DownTheDrain: After shrinking from eating the peanut butter, one of the outcomes have you being flushed into a sink by Dora, and you'll need to travel through the drain pipes and find a way out.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: This happens to the reader if they choose the Purple Peanut Butter. The [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51ztJikUD%2BL._SX342_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg cover art]] even demonstrates this trope.
* IntercontinuityCrossover: While seeking for a way to reverse the peanut butter's shrinking effects, you can come across the titular object from ''Literature/MonsterBlood''. As aways, you're expected to know the effects of consuming Monster Blood from reading that other book.
* FreakyFridayFlip: One ending where Dr. Abbott botches the shrink-reverse process have the two of you swapping bodies instead.
* LemonyNarrator: Granted, it's a GYG book, but the narrator of this issue is noticeably a bigger DeadpanSnarker than usual, from taunting the reader for choosing to obey their aunt's wishes to stay out the basement, to calling the reader a wimp for making wrong choices.
--> Are you serious?
--> Are you really so wimpy you won’t go into the basement? Just because your aunt and uncle told you to stay out of it? Just because it might be dangerous?
--> Get real! -- proceeds to tell the reader to go back and [[ButThouMust make the OTHER choice instead]]
* LivingToys: In one scenario from the shrinking storyline, you decide to hide in Dora's dollhouse, and realize the dolls are ''alive'', where they are actually sentient and can come to life at will, but must remain motionless in the presence of humans.
* PaintingTheMedium: In one bad ending where the reader shrinks into nothingness, the book's accompanying text literally shrinks in it's last few words.
--> You feel yourself growing smaller...
---> ...smaller...
---->... smaller... '''END'''
* ParanormalMundaneItem: The titular purple peanut butter, which makes you shrink, and a piece of cake that makes you grow in size.
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: Subverted in the shrinking storyline. The rodent is regular-sized, but you've been shrunken by the peanut butter until you're smaller than your thumb. So from ''your'' perspective, you're fighting a giant rodent.
* SaunaOfDeath: In one bad ending, Effy tried to reverse the cake's enlarging effects on you by having you enter a sauna. But it instead overheats, causin you to shrink into nothingness.
* ShoutOut:
** The book references ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' by the title at several points. Notably, you wonder if consuming the ''other'' food (chocolate cake or peanut butter?) could reverse the shrinking or growing effects, like what Alice did in her story.
** The scene under LivingToys is a nod to the then one-year-old movie ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''.
* TakenForGranite: This book takes it to the extreme with one ending where Effy the baker fails to reverse the effects of the chocolate cake, and instead turns you into a gingerbread man.
