* In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Who Mourns for Morn?", it is revealed that [[spoiler:Morn took part in a robbery years before, and]] he kept the latinum — removed from the gold in which it's normally stored — in his second stomach, which Quark assumes is why all his hair fell out.

* In ''TheHotRock'', during the gang's attempt to rob the diamond for their client Dr. Amusa, member Greenberg swallows it before he's caught by the guards. During a brief stint in a city jail, it passes through his system and he stows it in the cell, now out of their reach.

* ''Dora The Explorer'': Dora's Backpack, hence her [[catchphrase]], "Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum! Delicioso!".

** Jiraiya can travel incognito inside a frog using this.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold,'' PlasticMan is able to do this, presumably because [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin his body is plastic]] and thus not as damaged by swallowing a bunch of gold coins. [[KleptomaniacHero And it's usually gold coins he's swallowing]].

* In one ''ComicStrip/KnightsOfTheDinnerTable'' storyline, Brian declares that he still has his teleportation ring in prison because he regularly swallows and [[{{Squick}} retrieves]] it. He has this routine [[CrazyPrepared noted on his character sheet]], so BA can't accuse him of making it up on the spot.

** That's a clever idea and all, but that doesn't exactly explain... ''how'' this was accomplished. I mean, the item shows it's got a whole box. And which end did this come back out of? I don't particularly like the idea of Snake throwing up individual soggy cigarettes out of his stomach at the dock. Nor do I like the idea of him forcibly hurling an entire box.
** '''[[WebAnimation/AwesomeSeries I'M GONNA USE THE CIGARETTES IN MY STOMACH!!! AWESOME!!!]]'''

* Apparently this is something youkai in YuYuHakusho-[[TheVerse verse]] can do to hide things, even from scrying attempts, but it's never elaborated on.

* Most humanoid robots in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' have a hollow torso with a door that makes for a handy storage compartment. Bender is the most extreme example.

* ''EdEddNEddy'': Ed's apparently works like a storage facility or refrigerator sometimes.

* Drug runners who swallow tightly wrapped packets of cocaine or heroin to get them past customs, with a real risk of the packets rupturing and killing the runner with a massive overdose - so they usually force young children to do that part instead.

* On a few occasions in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' Yakko and Dot have retrieved things from Wakko's stomach. *''Dora The Explorer'': Dora's Backpack, hence her [[catchphrase]], "Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum! Delicioso!".

* In the PS1 Game {{Tomba!}} the title character uses his stomach to carry his inventory. One character even makes mention of this saying he doesn't want to know what else he keeps in there.

* In the ''FullmetalAlchemist'' second anime and manga, Kimblee stored a Philosopher's stone either in his stomach or his mouth when he was in prison (though probably not at all times).

** In "Roger Dodger", Roger the Aligator switches minds with Rico. Roger keeps coughing up dynamite and flamethrowers, showing that it's an ability of Rico's body, not of his mind, but only Rico can control what comes up.
