History Main / SweetTooth

* ComicBook/EttaCandy, longtime friend and ally of ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'', enjoys candy in all its forms, especially during the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 stories]].

* Sugar, or at least its aroma, is known to attract [[BossInMookClothing witches]] in the ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' series. One part of the "Hard Rain" campaign in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' revolves around navigating a sugar mill completely infested with this strain of infected - [[OhCrap they may be as many as]] ''[[OhCrap twenty]]'' [[OhCrap of them]][[note]](if you find two witches in any other single segment of a campaign, it's a sign that the Director is going sadistic on you)[[/note]], '''sometimes right beside each other'''. Thankfully, they disperse when the rain starts and the smell (presumably) dissipates. This is an AscendedGlitch - the Director's algorithm for the area is screwed up, resulting in the Witch hordes.

* ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Pokémon in general have Sweet Teeth. ''Lots'' of [[PowerUp Power Ups]] you use on them are sweet foods, like Soda Pop and Lemonade in all the games, which restores their hp, along with Lava Cookies, Old Gateau (sponge cake), Casteliacones (ice cream), and Lumiose Galettes (cookies again), and Shalour Sables (shortbread biscuits) which cure Condition, each one unique to a certain Generation. Rage Candy Bars and the chocolate Sweet Hearts can restore a little HP for a Pokémon in most versions (but they usually have other uses too). There were also Poffins in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Diamond and Pearl]]'', which you made from Berries and fed them to enhance their Contest stats, and most recently, ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY X and Y]]'' introduces Poké Puffs, cupcakes you can feed them during the Poké Amie MiniGame that they clearly love, and Poké Juice, special drinks made from berries that give them a variety of benefits.

* Leon Magnus in ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny''.

* A defining characteristic of Houchou Toushirou of ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' alongside his love for wives.

* ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess'': Celeste really, really likes cookies, so much that she barges through the base of a tall stone tower in running towards a (non-existent) cookie on the other side.
* Belgium in ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld''.

* ''Webcomic/TuesdayTitans'': [[spoiler:Lemony, full stop. Her partner, Dillon, takes a bite of a cookie, [[{{PsychicLink}} and as they're sharing senses]], she's instantly hooked on sweets. Moments later, she's had him sample every sweet and snack in his fridge.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', Caitlin is this for chocolate. It's revealed in "Enter The Dragon" when [[AllPeriodsArePms on her period]], this gets applied to Nikki instead (still with chocolate).

Compare and contrast with RealMenHateSugar. SuperTrope of MascotsLoveSugar (for critters) and GirlsLoveChocolate (for female characters).

* In ''VideoGame/DontStarve'' Together, Wanda's favorite food is taffy. She also has a taste for foods that contain honey according to her quotes.

* The ComicBook/MartianManhunter is quite fond of [[BlandNameProduct Chocos]].

* ''Anime/FZeroGPLegend'': Antagonist Zoda is seen eating many a sweet through the duration of the anime. In his ''VideoGame/FZero Climax'' character portrait he's even eating ice cream.

* In ''WebAnimation/BrawlOfTheObjects'', there is a [[GenkiGirl]] character named Chocolatey, and she is shown to have a MASSIVE sweet tooth. In Episode 3, she just DEVOURED sweets in a candy store, even resorting to cannibalism, and this sweet tooth behavior is shown in later episodes.

* ''Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman'' is about a {{Salaryman}} who deliberately accepts his sales meetings in the vicinity of patisseries and bakeries, solely so he can eat their wares after said meetings. He even keeps a blog about his passion for sweets.

* Kimmy Eckman of ''VideoGame/BackyardSports''. [[CatchPhrase CAAAANDYYYY!]]

* ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'': Billy is a fan of sweet foods like fruit and coffee with ''lots'' of sugar. He's quite surprised when Sherlock has realized he has one without Billy having said anything about it directly. It seems to be paired with his generally childish persona.

* Xerxes Break from ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' is a spectacular example: not only he can eat a dozen portions of cake at one scoop and never parts with his precious box of candies, but he steals sweets from other characters, and is capable of pushing into his mouth half of a saucer with cake remains on it - in order to lick it off.

** Ranma Saotome is such an ice-cream lover that he's perfectly willing to use his much-hated GenderBender curse to go with Akane to the local ice-cream parlor and gulp down all the parfaits he can without being recognized by others.
** Nabiki, too. She's seen eating ice cream pretty often. And then there's the first season anime episode where she buys, and clearly intends to [[BigEater finish off in one sitting]], a dish of pudding ala mode, a chocolate parfait, a serve of cheesecake, a strawberry tart, and a slice of pumpkin pie.

* In ''Manga/TheSecretAgreement'', Iori has one and even tells his lover "if you are always surrounded by sweet and delicious things, it is very attractive." In comparison, Yuuichi is more moderate, but still treated as a pariah for eating sweets at all by his uncle because they should (and eventually begin to) [[WeaksauceWeakness kill him]].

* Juuzou Suzuya, Saiko Yonebayashi, Chie Hori, and Koutarou Amon from ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' are all noted for their love of sweets. The first two demonstrate the childish aspects of the trope, devouring sweets and behaving in an immature fashion. Chie touches into the Genius aspects of the trope, forcing others to buy her expensive deserts in exchange for her [[InformationBroker services]]. In contrast, Amon is a paragon of traditional masculinity that shows a softer side through his love of sweets. In particular, he's [[DonutMessWithACop fond of donuts]].

** {{Exaggerated|Trope}} by Laughing Jack in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11208933/1/Harry-by-Proxy Harry by Proxy]]'': he creates concoctions so sugar-filled that he outright traumatizes Eyeless Jack - a doctor - and Hermione - whose parents are dentists. Only ''looking'' at his plate's content pushes Harry to brush, floss and mouthwash.

* In ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', both Ruby and Katsuki possess a pronounced taste for sweets. Ruby hides a cookie jar in her dorm room that Katsuki regularly raids when he's hungry.

* ''Literature/AlexanderAndTheTerribleHorribleNoGoodVeryBadDay'': Alexander insults Paul by hoping he drops his ice cream, and is jealous of his friends when their mothers all pack dessert but his doesn't.

* In ''Literature/TheNutcrackerAndTheMouseKing'' (the original short story and not the ballet), Marie and the Nutcracker visit a kingdom where practically everything, from Marzipan Castle to Marmalade Grove, is made of sweets. The Nutcracker tells her the story of a giant ''named'' Sweet tooth who nearly ate the ''entire kingdom''. In the end, the citizens made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with the giant:]] they would let him have part of the Castle and a good portion of the Grove without a fight and in return, he would leave peacefully after he was done.

* Literature/StephaniePlum loves cake so much her grandmother calls her a cakeaholic.

* Used for a gag in ''Series/{{Chespirito}}''. Dr. Chapatin was in a restaurant and was too focused talking that he didn't notices he added over 7 sugar spoons to his coffee. When he tasted how sweet it was he discreetly switched it with another patron's one. When this patron tasted, his face showed disgust... And then he proceeded to add 2 more spoons of sugar and then happily drinking it.

* Detective Theo Series/{{Kojak}}, from the '70s police procedural show, is hooked on lollipops, [[AddictionDisplacement displacing]] his previous habit, cigarettes. This was the early '70s when people started to become aware of the risks of smoking, the producers decided not to say that SmokingIsCool. So much that, in some places where the series was aired, the type of lollipops he consumed were (and still are) referred to as "kojaks". Even before he started on the lollipops, he could often be seen snacking on candy or ice cream bars.

** Lenny Busker frequently snacks on strawberry Twizzlers, and she later requests that Sydney mail her a new candy bar that has nougat, chocolate and a crispy wafer. [[spoiler:In Season 2, when David visits the "new" Lenny, he smuggles in some Twizzlers for her.]]

* Music/TheBeatles' "Savoy Truffle" from Music/TheWhiteAlbum was Music/GeorgeHarrison's ode to Music/EricClapton's notorious jones for sucrose (with [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a darker subtext]] if you're aware that heroin addicts often seem to prefer sweets to real food). A bit sadistic, regardless: think of the bridge ("You might not feel it now...") BTW "Good News" is an English brand of chocolates; think Whitman or Russell Stover for an American equivalent.

* ''Series/FraggleRock'': Red Fraggle's favorite treat is a confection called a radish bar. She's so hooked on them, she's been known to eat them in her sleep.

** Both the Avatar (whether male or female) and Princess Sakura of Hoshido are infamous among their troops for their sweet tooth, with Sakura being capable of eating a box of ''mochi'' in few seconds. [[spoiler: Hilariously, Sakura and the Female Avatar are among Asugi's potential mothers, shall either of them marry his father Saizou.]] In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', Sakura gets a Halloween-themed version and most of her quotes are about getting candy.

* Alain from ''VideoGame/{{HOME|2013}}'' is addicted to sugar, so much that he eats an entire room full of it.

* Both Kula and Maxima from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. Kula is always seen licking lollipops and several of her talks feature how much she loves ice cream; on the other hand, Maxima openly admits that RealMenHateSugar does NOT apply to him, and he is able to put out a MASSIVE parfait in few seconds. (It's more understandable in his case; glucose is the fuel for brains, and he's a powerful {{Technopath}} as well as a Cyborg)

* Yuri Lowell in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''. Though there's one exception, like the other adults in the party he doesn't like gels. Perhaps they're too cloying even for him. Weirdly, both he and Leon were titleholders of "Most Popular Tales Characters". [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Sweet tooths must be the key to Tales' fans' hearts]].

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''; Glacia Rimebag, a gnome frost mage in Dalaran. When you hire her for a blacksmithing project (leystone is so had, it requires frost magic to temper) she charges in candy, specifically Nightberry Truffles. Even the candy vendor warns her of cavities from eating so much.

* Mint Blancmanche in ''VisualNovel/GalaxyAngel'' loves to eat sweets of all kinds. The second game even has a scene of her trying to invent her own candy with a chemistry lab set, and gives Tact a test of a sweetener that's 1.5 ''trillion'' times sweeter than sugar.
* Hanyuu from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' has shown been shown to have quite the sweet tooth. In ''Daybreak Portable'' she ate so many sweets she couldn't pay for it. Her TrademarkFavoriteFood is cream puffs though.

* Robbie from ''Webcomic/IgnitionZero'' has such a sweet tooth that in the first chapter he went to a bakery and asked for a sample of everything. Orson was unamused.

* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', villainous pirate Stickybeard and Numbuh 5's recurring rival Heinrich Von Marzipan are both well known for their obsessions with sweets. Numbuh 5 herself enjoys seeking out rare candies in her spare time, but unlike the aforementioned two characters hers is portrayed as a more casual interest and not an unhealthy (no pun intended) fixation.

* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'': Dee Dee ''loves'' sugary t hehings, such as marshmallows.

** Mac can't have any sugar, lest he go into a berserk frenzy; his sugar-rush persona is Sweet Tooth AND IntoxicationEnsues incarnate.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout'' has Dougal's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood love for sugar]] where it stands out as one of his defining character traits.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In one episode, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick try to sell chocolate in the neighborhood, and one of the men they try to sell some ends up being mad and chases after them while doing a "CHOCOLATE" MadnessMantra. After the duo being tricked by a swindler to buy more chocolate from him, the mad man finally catches up to them and it turns out that he was just trying to buy ''all of the chocolate''.

* Yuri Lowell in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''. Though there's on exception, like the other adults in the party he doesn't like gels. Perhaps they're too cloying even for him. Weirdly, both he and Leon were titleholders of "Most Popular Tales Characters". [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Sweet tooths must be the key to Tales' fans' hearts]].
