History Main / MountainOfFood

* In one of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''' Halloween episodes, Homer Simpson's IronicHell punishment was being forcefed "all the donuts in the world" and was surrounded by piles and piles of them. He successfully ate them all and was disappointed there weren't any more.

* A literal version is seen in ''Toys/TheGrosseryGang'' webseries arc of "Mount Yuck", where, after failing to hit the slushie machine with food, a gigantic mountain of food is created. As the Grosseries are living food themselves, it is only the scale of the convenience store in height, but that's still plenty tall enough for them. The arc is spent climbing it, purely because "it's there".

[[FridgeLogic Of course]], you'd only be able to eat so much before you'd begin to hate the taste (not to mention the stomach pains.) And such a big, unprotected amount of food would usually spoil pretty fast.
