--> She knew that some people might say she ought to be happy. She'd always wanted to be closer to Adrien, after all. But that was like telling someone you like chocolate cake and them expecting you to be happy when they try to drown you in a giant vat of frosting. She'd only wanted to see Adrien smile at her, to hold his hand and--maybe, in her wildest daydreams--to kiss him. Not this. Especially not ''like'' this.

* ''Fanfic/AGlassOfWine'': Misato orders Asuka to smoke one cigarette she lifted out of Kaji's desk drawer. Asuka starts shuddering and coughing right away, and she stomps the cigarette out.
* PlayedForHorror in ''Fanfic/IllFindHimPursuitAU'': When Hero catches Sunny using some broken plates to hurt himself, Sunny tearfully declares that he [[spoiler:wants to die and take Hero with him]]. Hero responds by taking those same broken plates and [[ForcedToWatch forcing Sunny to watch]] as he [[spoiler:stabs himself, then stitches himself back up. Repeatedly]]. Afterwards, Hero asks Sunny if he still feels the same way, right before the traumatized Sunny faints.

* ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory''. Arguably, this [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation could be Wonka's]] real thoughts behind the children meeting their various fates. They all were taken out of running when they went to steal or use something that clearly wasn't safe but they still wanted. In adaptations, Wonka seems decidedly unconcerned with rescuing or stopping the kids, so...
* There's a children's book called ''Literature/TheChocolateTouch'' based on the legend of King Midas where a boy who eats too much candy unwittingly buys a magic chocolate from TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday. After he eats it, everything he puts into his mouth turns to chocolate, making him thirsty and sick and ruining some possessions, like his trumpet. Finally he accidentally turns his mother into a chocolate statue by kissing her on the cheek, runs back to the shop's proprietor and tells him he's learned the error of his ways, and is allowed a ResetButton.



* ''[[Literature/FrancesTheBadger Bread and Jam for Frances]]'' is right up there with ''Literature/MrsPiggleWiggle'' as ''the'' classic example of this trope. In this story, Frances the badger only wants to eat bread and jam, and is unwilling to try any other foods. Her parents decide to give her bread and jam for every meal, and while she's happy about it at first, she eventually gets tired of it and asks to try some spaghetti at one meal. The story ends with her bringing a lunch to school that consists of a wide variety of foods, with no jam to speak of.

* In the picture book ''Literature/GregoryTheTerribleEater'', Gregory is a young goat who likes human food, but his parents are trying to get him to eat garbage. It works too well, and he starts eating everything in the house. So they go to the dump and bring home a huge meal for him: eight flat tires, a barber pole, a broken violin and half a car. He eats almost all of it, then gets a terrible tummy ache, tossing and turning all night. The next morning, he requests a reasonably sized breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, two pieces of wax paper and a glass of orange juice.



* In the ''Literature/LittleWomen'' chapter "Experiments," Marmee lets her daughters go for a week without doing any chores. At first it's fun, but eventually boredom sets in, and then Marmee and housekeeper Hannah give the girls a taste of their own medicine by taking a day off too, leaving no one to do the necessary work around the house. Thus the sisters learn the value of [[AllWorkVsAllPlay balancing play with work]] – particularly Beth, whose pet canary dies because she neglected to feed it.

* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'':
** In the episode "Jan the Only Child", Jan's siblings pull this on her when she wants privacy and wishes she were an only child. They refuse to speak to her, be in the same room with her, or associate with her at all, until she is begging for their companionship again.
** In the episode "Greg Gets Grounded", Greg attempts LoopholeAbuse when he's forbidden to drive the car for a week as a punishment, [[ExactWords driving a friend's car instead]]. So Mike and Carol agree that from now on, ExactWords will be the rule. This means that Greg is forced to do every task he ever promises to do precisely when he says he'll do it – no putting it off till later or getting anyone else to do it for him. Naturally, this makes life harder for Greg and teaches him a lesson.



* ''Series/DifferentStrokes''. Drummond attempts this with Willis after catching him sneaking liquor, showing how even an older and experienced drinker like himself can easily become intoxicated when drinking too much too quickly. Unfortunately, the only lesson Willis learns is therefore to space out his drinks so as not to get drunk.



* ''Series/GrangeHill'': When the Students' Action Group stages a sit-in in the secretary's office, the headmaster gives them ten minutes to leave the room. After this time, he does not ask them if they want to come out, but locks them in, and leaves them there for some time, almost causing one pupil to have a PottyEmergency.
-->'''Pupil:''' I'm going to have to get out of this, I want to go to the loo.\\
'''Jessica:''' You should have gone before we came.\\
'''Pupil:''' I didn't know how long we'd be, did I?\\
'''Jessica:''' ''(gloomily)'' Probably much longer.
* In on episode of ''Series/GullahGullahIsland'', after the kids complain about all the rules around the house, Ron and Natalie decide to let them go for a day without any rules. Of course chaos ensues and the kids learn the value of rules by the end.



-->'''Hal''': [''After Malcolm finishes, in shock''] Good. Very thorough.\\

* On ''Series/TheOrville'', Isaac suggests this for disciplining Claire's teenaged son Marcus, who's been acting up and was caught drinking alcohol with his friends: force him to drink more until he can't stand the taste of the stuff. Claire points out that this will ''kill'' Marcus.
* An interesting variation in ''Series/RescueMe'': Tommy attempts to cure his daughter's alcoholism by giving her a booze baptism, dunking her head in a baptismal full of hard liquor. It works, as, the next time she takes a drink, she immediately [[VomitIndiscretionShot spits up]].

* In the ''Series/LambChopsPlayAlong'' episode "Too Sick to Go to the Circus", Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy [[PlayingSick Play Sick]] to get out of school. Shari teaches them a lesson by pretending to be fooled and treating them like they really are sick, giving them FoulMedicine and keeping them home not only from school, but from their class's trip to the circus.

* ''VideoGame/GhostReconWildlands'' offers a darker example of this technique. After capturing a [[TheCartel Santa Blanca]] buchon noted for [[GettingHighOnTheirOwnSupply his heavy addiction to the cartel's cocaine]], Bowman interrogates him by holding him at gunpoint and forcing him to snort lines of coke non-stop until he either cracks and gives up useful intel to further hurt the cartel, or inevitably dies of an overdose. While the buchon initially laughs this threat off, he eventually recognizes that his body can't handle any more and he gives in to the torture.

* The old ''Lil' Audrey'' cartoons had an episode where the titular Audrey refuses to eat her dinner in favor of gorging on candy, even having secret stashes of it everywhere when her nanny tries to confiscate it. Eventually she's sent to her room as punishment, where she has a stomachache-induced DreamSequence of being force-fed nothing but candy. This is more than enough to convince her to eat dinner when she wakes up.



* Used in an old Disney cartoon, where WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck catches Huey, Dewey, and Louie with a carton of cigars, and makes them smoke them all--only to find out they were a gift for him. Even more karmic because when he noticed them with the box he didn't even think of asking, he just went berserk, shoved the cigars into their mouths and lit up in a montage more befitting a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown (at one point a sick Huey even tried to drag himself away just for Donald to grab him by the ankle, drag him back into the room and give him another cigar).
* The ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'' episode "Just Desserts" has Timmy wish that every meal would be desserts. Eventually, the all-sugar diet leaves everyone extremely fat and so lacking in energy that they can barely move their arms, which becomes a problem with [[ItMakesSenseInContext the added weight sends the planet hurdling into the sun.]] Timmy has to feed his fairy godparents spinach -- which he normally can't stand -- to give them the energy to intervene, which becomes a SpaceWhaleAesop about the importance of eating a healthy diet.

* A non-food example occurred in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants.'' In the episode "Squidville," after his house is destroyed by another of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's shenanigans, Squidward moves to Tentacle Acres, a cephalopod-only gated community, and declares it his version of heaven since everyone thinks like him, and shares his passions. After living there for some time, he gets bored and starts engaging in similar shenanigans as [=SpongeBob=].

Definitely TruthInTelevision, as many a parent has managed to give his beer-craving teenage son a disgustingly warm beer. Accordingly, this trope can often be averted in real life too; for some, [[TrademarkFavouriteFood no excess amount of their favourite food or beverage will ever be enough to make them go off it.]]

* This is Film/NannyMcPhee's stock in trade. When the kids don't want to stop making a mess of the kitchen and go to bed, she magics them into being ''unable to stop'', which results in almost throwing the baby into the soup. She only breaks the spell when they beg her to. The next morning, they fake being sick to avoid having to get out of bed, so she traps them in their beds. Although really, this has less to do with instilling an aversion to the thing they want to do and more to do with scaring them into [[DefeatMeansFriendship behaving by demonstrating her powers]].

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', if Wrex leads the krogan, he and "Eve," the first female of their species immune to [[SterilityPlague the Genophage]] in generations, become close friends and, implicitly, romantic partners. "Eve" respects him, but also feels that he's too much of a ChivalrousPervert and DirtyOldMan, and too excited at the prospect of fertilizing a bunch of newly-fertile krogan females after the Genophage is cured. If all goes well, then as of the ''Citadel'' DLC, she's dealing with this by ''encouraging'' star-struck lady krogan who want their first batches of new children fathered by the heroic savior of their race, and poor Wrex confides in Shepard that he's gotten sick and tired of having to sneak out of his own house through the bathroom to avoid them, and that even his alien biology is becoming exhausted and sore from all the breeding.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}'' Peyton tries to do this to himself in order to lose weight. Since whatever happens to his body on Chaotic and Perim doesn't affect his body on Earth (since humans on Chaotic and Perim are actually copies whose memories are transferred to the original when they return to Earth), he tries stuffing himself with food until he gets sick on Chaotic, in the hope that the memory of the experience will reduce his food cravings on Earth. It doesn't work.
