Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


This trope can have massive overlap with {{Squee}}, when the moment is aimed at fulfilling the (mostly sexually or romantically oriented) wishes of the fanbase. And what may be heartwarming for one may be more of a case of TastesLikeDiabetes for another, since opinions may vary vastly on a highly subjective trope like this one. A failed attempt at creating a heartwarming moment can result in {{Narm}} if the producers muck it up. To create a genuinely heartwarming moment is a lot harder than it seems without plunging into sentimentality.
