* When {{Kirby}} eats a bomb, he just gets Bomb powers. (Unless, of course, it's the Egg Catcher minigame from ''Kirby's Adventure''.)

* Kirby, King Dedede, and Wario can eat explosive items in ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'', though that will hurt them.
** This is actually quite useful, depending on the situation. On one hand, a swallowed bomb does MUCH less damage and ZERO knockback versus being hit by it, but on the other, it usually leaves the character open for several seconds. However, when Wario Chomps a bomb, it actually deals damage to anyone near him, even causing enough knockback to KO at medium percentages. It will definitely make noobs think twice about Kirbycide, however.

* In the ''[[SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam and Max]]'' cartoon, they're escorting a criminal on a plane who manages to escape, leaving behind a bomb. Sam orders Max to [[BombDisposal dispose of it]] while he's chasing the criminal down; Max eats it and then ducks into the overhead compartment to contain the explosion. Being ''Sam And Max'', he's somehow okay after this.

* A very strange version in ''TheTick''. Instead of a bomb, it's a loaf of bread which is designed to swell to enormous sizes and destroy the building it's placed inside. Tick eats it, then has to keep punching it (i.e. himself) as it tries to expand out of his body until he can digest it. It gives him indegestion.
