* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': In "[[Recap/HeyArnoldS1E1DowntownAsFruitsEugenesBike Eugene's Bike]]", Arnold feels bad about getting Eugene hospitalized after a botched attempt at repairing his bicycle. Flashbacks are then shown of the times Arnold had inadvertently caused trouble for Eugene. One of them is of a four-year-old Arnold using a jar of paste to make a picture of a snowflake. He sets the jar of paste right next to Eugene's jar of frosting, as Eugene was frosting a cake. Eugene accidentally puts his finger in Arnold's jar of paste instead of his jar of frosting, and when he puts it in his mouth, [[StickySituation his finger gets stuck to his lips]] and everyone laughs at him.

* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'': This happens on the Alan Arkin episode.

When Beaker alerts him to this, they attempt to unswitch them, but Bunsen unknowingly winds up with the potion and gives it to Alan.

* ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'': This happens twice to Anne due to Marilla storing things in other bottles or putting them in different places. The first time, she accidentally gives currant wine to her friend Diana instead of the non-alcoholic raspberry cordial (referring to an older term for a sweet drink similar to soda or Kool-Aid), leading to Diana getting drunk and temporarily being banned from being Anne's friend because Diana's mother thought Anne did it on purpose. The other time is when Marilla put liniment in an old bottle of vanilla extract and Anne used it in a cake and didn't know the difference because she had a bad cold and couldn't smell it.

That mix-up occurred because Marilla had forgotten that she had put the cordial in a different room instead of the pantry where the wine was. The other time is when Marilla put liniment in an old bottle of vanilla extract and Anne used it in a cake and didn't know the difference because she had a bad cold and couldn't smell it.
