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.

* LighterAndSofter: The ''Captain Sabertooth'' franchise is famous for mixing goofy slapstick with kid-friendly horror and a rather "dark" look and atmosphere, helped by the fact that the stories usually take place at night. This series takes place during the daytime and (with the possible exception of some of the books and comics) is probably the lightest, least scary and least dramatic ''Captain Sabertooth'' out there. {{Justified}} in that unlike the stage plays and movies, it largely takes place in the pirates' home village and focuses much more on their lives when they ''aren't'' out plundering and robbing.
