* ''Series/FraggleRock'': In one episode, Mokey wants to join the Secret Society of Poohbahs but is told she must undergo a trial. While Mokey is helping Red rehearse the speech for the trial, which must be given in [[PigLatin a language called Uffla-fluff]], Boober enters, asking why Mokey is speaking in a secret language. Trying to keep the trial a secret, Red tells him that Mokey is deliriously ill. Boober thinks it must be galloping tongue fever and just happens to have the only cure with him: [[SoupIsMedicine hot soup]]. When Mokey eats it, it turns out to be okra soup—her absolute least favorite—and when Boober takes her gagging noises and throat-clutching as a sign that she needs more of it, she immediately says she's cured.
