* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' has done this several times with corn on the cob.

* Templeton does this in the fairground scene of ''Literature/CharlottesWeb''.

Mind you, [[IThoughtItMeant this trope is not about]] [[ExtremeOmnivore people eating typewriters]].

* The Nazi goat ("A Beowulf in sheep's clothing") in the DaffyDuck cartoon "Scrap Happy Daffy" does this to a pile of tin cans in Daffy's scrap yard.

Compare BuzzsawJaw, where the sound effect is (or at least can be) a buzzsaw.

You've probably seen it during TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation. Here, a character eats a strip starting at one end of the corncob, along its long axis (takka takka takka), reaches the other end (ding!), rotates the corncob a few degrees and returns to the starting end (kachunk!), repeat. This action [[DontExplainTheJoke mimics typing on an old-fashioned mechanical typewriter]] with moving carriage. They then continue in a different spot.

This trope [[ForgottenTrope doesn't seem to be used anymore]] (and if ever used today, kids would ask [[WhatAreRecords what the sounds are]]).

* In ''[[TheGirlsGuideToHuntingAndFishing The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing]]'', the narrator says her older brother normally eats corn on the cob this way, but the first time he brings a girlfriend home from college he's suddenly too adult to do it in front of her.

* One [[LooneyTunes Porky Pig]] cartoon when Porky was a farmer had chickens getting into his cornfield and doing this.
