In one ep of Hey Arnold! ("Phoebe Skips"), Helga refers to a classmate Sheena as a "granola girl"... the context is that she's serving Helga a "health plate" for lunch and talking about her gastrointestinal problems, prompting the comment: "That's it granola girl, you're dismissed! And take this health crap with you!" Does that make Sheena a granola girl?

He may be a balding guy with a pony tail, but he certainly is no hippie, extreme left wing, vegan or in any other way a Granola Girl.

Does this really fit?

• Steve Jobs's girlfriend from Pirates Of The Silicon Valley, who had a daughter with him named Lisa. His first reaction when she breaks up with him is to fire the entire Apple Lisa dev team.

It was kind of a stupid overreaction, but it doesn't really seem like 'granola' anything as much as a tantrum.
