I Ate What clean up. The trope is when a character eats something, unaware of what they are consuming, and then reacts in disgust after they find out what it is. Misuse will be deleted or moved to another trope when applicable. Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be removed or commented out depending on the amount of context within the entry. Also, I Ate What is not a character trope.


* IAteWhat: Unknowingly, Marge took a cup of pureed worms Bart made for his bird. Even more disgusting, [[{{Squick}} she came back for a second helping]].

* ShoutOut: The [[WesternAnimation/TheItchyAndScratchyShow Itchy and Scratchy]] cartoon features several. The title (''Dogday Hellody of 1933'') is a play on ''Broadway Melody''. The basic plot is a parody of "WesternAnimation/PlutosJudgementDay", while the parade of celebrity cameos brings (Including Harpo Marx, Will Rogers, and Edward G. Robinson) is reminiscent of the "Hollywood Party" style of [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Looney Tunes]] cartoons, such as ''Hollywood Steps Out''

* EpicFail: When Homer tries to build a pigeon coop for Bart's bird, it's so rickety that when he merely pats it, rather then collapse into a pile, the staples pop out, causing the chicken wire to refold itself as the framework falls apart, then it rolls back into its box which is then ''resealed by the popped out staples''. Yeah, it's one of Homer's ''special'' {{Epic Fail}}s.
