* Non-driving example: Blaze, the Firebat from ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'', has this as one of his abilities. As the game focuses on individual characters engaging in on-foot fantasy combat, the skill applies a movespeed slow to any enemy standing in it; it can then be [[IncendiaryExponent lit afire]] to [[KillItWithFire harm enemies]] and [[HealItWithFire heal Blaze himself]].

* In reality, an oil spill on the road is likely to do the opposite of what it depicts in fiction: Instead of spinning you out, it significantly lowers the friction between the car and the ground, causing you to slide straight forward like you're on ice. In motorsport, many a pile-up has occurred because a damaged car spilled oil on the track, catching a huddle of drivers off-guard as they proceed to drive straight into a wall.
