* ''Film/{{Stargate}}'': Dr. Daniel Jackson packs two 5th Avenue bars before heading off into the Stargate. He gives one to a yak-type creature after arriving on Abydos, and the second to Shau'ri's father, helping gain their trust.

Contrast IsItSomethingYouEat, where a character reveals their [[BigEater love of food]], and their [[TheDitz idiocy]]. Compare MustHaveCaffeine, which often overlaps. See also CastFromCalories and DonutMessWithACop.

* Sōseki Natsume (of ''Literature/IAmACat'' fame among others), one of the biggest household names in late-modern Japanese literature, had a habit of snacking on jam straight out of the jar, raved about ''yōkan'' jelly in one of his works, and was more than once scolded by his wife for raising their expenses with his snacking.

* Lloyd Asplund, from ''Anime/CodeGeass'', is a great scientific mind whose nickname is "Earl of pudding". Guess why.

* From ''{{VideoGame/Bugsnax}},'' we have the two resident geniuses, siblings Snorpington and Floofty. The former is an engineer and the latter is a gastroentemologist [[note]]In other words, they study the titular bugsnax and the effect they have on grumpus'[[/note]]. And they both often request/eat the sweet tasting bugsnax, such as Snorpy's request to eat "Kwookies"[[note]]An Oreo type snak[[/note]] to thwart the "Grumpinati". And Floofty requests "only the sweetest and most filling [bugsnax]" during their sidequest.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1'': [[EvilGenius Vector's]] love of cookies is exploited by Gru to infiltrate his lair.

* This trope, along with MustHaveCaffiene, is a possible origin of the whole DonutMessWithACop trope itself; way back when it was rare to find ''any'' food establishment open after dark, donut and coffee shops were among the few overnight establishments available to a police officer roving the streets. And, since one needed to keep their mind sharp and awake in the event that they got into a confrontation with certain ne'er-do-wells, it made the most sense to frequent the local Dunkin' Donuts or Krispy Kreme to keep those energy levels up. Thus, cops and donuts became forever intertwined.

* ''Literature/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'' has Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian, who [[{{Omniglot}} speaks no fewer than seventeen languages fluently]], has a Master's degree and a jeweler's license, seems to know something about nearly everything...and is also entirely helpless when it comes to sweets. So much so that his employee Seigi saved his autumnal sweets from Japan while Richard was out of the country for the season and missed the chance to sample them and Seigi can bribe Richard into doing almost anything for him with the offer of special snacks and Richard's favorite pudding.
