* ''WesternAnimation/LeagueOfSuperEvil'': Doomageddon, the team's pet/mascot a pan-dimensional Doomhound (Originally HellHound before the GettingCrapPastTheRadar failed) once lost a tooth, causing the hole left behind to suck everything into another dimension. Doktor Frogg saw the other dimension briefly but the viewers couldn't see except that it was mentioned as a "Land of endless nightmares" Later on when everyone does end up within, the "Land of endless nightmares" is a world of rainbows, singing mountains, candy, and Unicorns. To a evil mad scientist like Doktor Frogg, this is Hell.

* ''Lalaloopsy'' (the TV series) is one of these. The characters are all very friendly and helpful with each other (despite a few times where they don't always help right away), the worst problem seems to be running out of ingredients for each characters' [[TrademarkFavoriteFood favorite food(s)]] or a Little (Sister) getting lost. Everyone leads happy lives in a low-tech setting (they use can-and-string as phones!) with no need for paying back another character's helpful deed or even asking for favors in return for doing the deed. There's no villain and no monsters (except the various Pet animals each character has, but they are always as nice as their owner).

* ''WesternAnimation/HappyNessSecretOfTheLoch'' features a land of friendly Loch Ness Monsters, the leader of them representing happiness. It's like a mix of ''My Little Pony'' and ''Care Bears''.

* The Wonder Planet in ''Anime/FushigiboshiNoFutagoHime''. About the worst thing that can happen is hurting someone's feelings.

* Whereever Witzy lives in ''Anime/SuzysZooDaisukiWitzy'', it appears that the place is gentle and happy throughout.

* Troy from ''VideoGame/{{Struggling}}'' goes through one of these during a MushroomSamba. It's full of bright colors, happily singing mushrooms, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers ...one rainbow-farting unicorn.]]

** And now with special googles, provided by the same company that also made Pyro's mask, every class can experience it.
** Let's put it this way: the Pyro appears to have the mind of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]], and many videos edit in her voice or appearance to the Pyro. The Pinkie Pyro. None of it seems incongruous.

Compare with: LevelAte, which covers settings that are ''literally'' made out of sugar. Contrast with CrapsackWorld, the MirrorUniverse of this trope. CrapsaccharineWorld ''appears'' to be this, but turns out to be CrapsackWorld. If a Sugar Bowl was used to be a WretchedHive, see HeelFaceTown. Also, SugarApocalypse, where bad things happen to good universes. Not to be confused with TastesLikeDiabetes, which is a ''reaction.'' If sufficiently analyzed and contrasted with a more "realistic" world, it can be a tame variant of EldritchLocation.

* "Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty/ we all think you're, very pretty/We all love to, hug and kiss you/ You make boys and girls so happy when they're with you/ Little Twin Stars, are so charming/ And My Melody, is such a darling/ We all love to, come and see you/ ''In the happy little world of [[https://www.sanrio.com/pages/sanrio-kawaii-corner-home Sanrio!"]]''

* ''Franchise/HelloKitty Online'', as it extends the TastesLikeDiabetes Sanrio franchise into the world of {{MMORPG}}s. However, to some players, the fact that ever time you step outside of a town you're surrounded by [[EverythingTryingToKillYou hordes of dangerous, aggressive]] ([[RidiculouslyCuteCritter but still painfully cute]]) animals makes it seem more like a CrapsaccharineWorld. One of the buildings in the first town after the starting town is a giant sugar bowl (another building is a giant teacup).

* Constantly subverted/parodied in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', the most obvious example being [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Candy Kingdom.]] Despite the saccharine imagery, averts the "no antagonist" rule.

** Ripple Star from ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' is even more of a SugarBowl than Dream Land. It's a smiling heart shaped planet inhabited by fairies, and then Dark Matter [[SugarApocalypse shows up]].

There is NoAntagonist. The villains here are [[HarmlessVillain harmless]]. Sometimes you can have a sweet setting with [[VileVillainSaccharineShow unexpectedly creepy and/or evil bad guys]] who are often [[EvilCannotStandCuteness allergic to anything saccharine]], but even in that case, the kind of permanent damage they can do is likely minor. Expect a HeelFaceTurn via CareBearStare and/or DefeatMeansFriendship.

* ''Series/StarTrek'' plays with this. On the one hand, we're assured that civilization has outgrown savagery, war, poverty and discrimination. However, the longer the franchise goes on, the more we see examples of these qualities come up, largely due to the need for {{conflict}}. For instance, the friendly bickering between the human [=McCoy=] and Vulcan Spock in the original series becomes more explicitly FantasticRacism later on.
