* '''Invoked''': Some Wikistani no-goodniks decide to serve octopus tentacles in the hopes that their Tropestani visitors will be scared off before they have a chance to uncover the Wikistanis' EvilPlan.

Removed an aversion that didn't work (Aerith not vising Tropestan doesn't make her food any less disgusting to the people of Tropestan). Also, Enforced means that external circumstances forced the author to use the trope.

Aerith's food is unfamiliar to the people of Tropestan, but they don't find it disgusting.

* '''Implied''': Bob is visibly disgusted when he peeks inside Aerith's lunchbox. We never see what it contained.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob visits Wikistan, gets hungry and desperately searches for a [[BlandNameProduct WcDonald's]].
* '''Played For Drama''': Aerith is bullied by the [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer other kids]] because they find her food disgusting.
