** PlayedForDrama in [[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS04E21DearestFamily "Dearest Family"]], when Tikki's craving for candy gets so out of control that she uses her creation powers without her holder to create the biggest galette to satiate her hunger. This puts everyone at risk as the gigantic object threatens to crush a sizeable portion of Paris when it lands. Plagg comments that, in a similar incident far in the past, Tikki summoned an 8-day rain of chocolate mousse.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'', Pinkalicious and Peter befriend a fairy and expose her to human food -- which causes her to develop such a sweet tooth that she ends up destroying a gingerbread house they built.

In {{Anime}}, mascots and other tiny or cute characters generally love sugar. It often happens that the hero, or more often heroine, will find a small and cute creature, bring it into their room to take a closer look at it just to find out that has a huge sugar addiction. After the initial shock has worn off the startled main character now has to not only hide, but also provide for, something that is 60cm or less tall and eats enough sugar to put a horse in a diabetic coma. On top of this, the mascot's sweet tooth will usually cause trouble for their caregiver at least once, whether or not they find out.

Compare MarsWantsChocolate, when aliens become enamored with Earth's food.

** Tikki, the cute Kwami that allows Marinette to transform into Ladybug, very much loves macarons and cookies; sugary treats are, in fact, her preferred food to recharge her magic after a transformation. It's convenient for both the plot and Tikki's sweet tooth that Marinette knows how to beak all sorts of pastries because her parents run a bakery.

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'': Kukuru has quite the sweet tooth and will instantly eat any sweet foods that are set in front of him, though this characteristic is only ever prominent in Season 1.

* ''LetsPlay/{{Nnemonic}}'': Cocaine, a flying dog, is very fond of eating sweets. This reflects the real person behind the character, [[Creator/Sanrio Cinnamoroll of Sanrio]].

* ''Manga/NatsumesBookOfFriends'': In [[Recap/NatsumesBookOfFriendsEpisode44ToYouFromBygoneDays]], Nyanko-[[InsistentTerminology sensei]] can be distracted from his job as Natsume's yokai bodyguard by the prospect of eating dango. He spots the suneko jump from a cyclist passing by, it's just that he's too preoccupied with the treats Natsume is buying him. Consequences of being a BigEater, huh?

* ''Manga/NatsumesBookOfFriends'': Nyanko-[[InsistentTerminology sensei]] can be distracted from his job as Natsume's yokai bodyguard by the prospect of eating dango. Nyanko is just fond of good food in general, though.

* Honey From ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' is arguably the mascot of the series and is shown eating large amounts of cake in each episode. In one episode, he even goes through withdrawal symptoms after getting a cavity and not being allowed to eat cake until the cavity is fixed.
* Tamama from ''Manga/SgtFrog'' has rarely, if ever, been shown eating normal food, yet almost always has a bag of some sweet or snack food on hand. While it hasn't really presented any problems to his partner, Momoka, at one point Keroro has to take responsibilty for Tamama trying to eat a giant candy house on a television set.
* Bokkun from ''Anime/SonicX'' at one point goes against his instructions and helps the heroes twice, with the promise of getting apple pie and strawberry cake as a reward for his efforts. More than a bit odd considering that he's a robot, but there you go.

* TeamPet Kiki the ferret from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' loves sugar almost as much as [[DistractedByTheShiny shiny things]].

Riff weaponizes this at times by giving her pixie sticks, after which she tends to leave Kiki-shaped holes in walls or anything else that gets in her way.
