History GargleBlaster / WesternAnimation

** One similar, but not quite the same, ''Looney Tunes'' scenario, "WesternAnimation/ShowBizBugs", has Daffy, tired of being consistently one-upped by Bugs in a vaudeville act, pull together the most incredible drink ever; ingredients include nitroglycerin, gasoline, and gunpowder, and topped off with uranium 238. He drinks it down, jumps up and down to shake, then drops in a match... After the ensuing explosion, an impressed Bugs tells Daffy that the audience wants more, to which Daffy's [[WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath ghost]] replies "I know, I know, but I can only do it once!"

** Droopy has an example in WesternAnimation/TheShootingofDanMcGoo where The Wolf orders a whiskey called "The Old Blockbuster", causing him to take off like a rocket, looping around the rafters a few times before landing. He then angrily accuses the bartender of ``cutting the drink.``.

* In Creator/TexAvery's "The Shooting of Dan [=McGoo=]", a character drinks a shot of ''straight whiskey'' and promptly shoots up to the ceiling like a rocket. When he lands, he complains, "This stuff's been cut!", with Droopy adding, "Whaddaya want for 10 cents, gasoline?"

** The "Show Biz Bugs" act was recycled gag from an earlier cartoon: a Porky Pig cartoon titled "Curtain Razor". Porky is screening prospects for a talent agency, and a RunningGag involves one character constantly barging in to talk about a "super-colossal" act. When he finally gets to perform the act, he undergoes pretty much the same act (including the devil costume), and while the ingredients may not be exactly the same, the match and result are identical. Porky is stunned in amazement for the first and only time in the cartoon. Then, the ghost of the character walks back in and, like Daffy, says, "I can only do it once."

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': The Maltese Liquor from [[Recap/FuturamaS6E16LawAndOracle "Law and Oracle".]] Even one drink is outright '''fatal''' to non-robots... with the notable exception of malt liquor connoisseur Creator/BillyDeeWilliams.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoon "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse," Tom attempts to create a lethal gargle blaster, tainting his milk with poisons and getting Jerry to drink it. He does, but instead of killing him, it turns Jerry into a brown WesternAnimation/MightyMouse and he sets about delivering a smackdown on Tom. When the effects wearvoff and later the milk is gone, Jerry tries to duplicate the formula. Tom gets to it first, drinks every drop...and promptly shrinks to the size of a flea.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** In "New Kidney in Town", after Peter's newfound addiction to Red Bull becomes a problem, Lois forces him to quit cold turkey. In turn, he tries to bootleg his own using various items from the kitchen including beer, eggs, and canned foods, topped off with [[TooDumbToLive kerosene]] on the grounds that [[FourTermsFallacy kerosene and Red Bull are both fuel and are therefore the same thing]]. Drinking the mixture gives him kidney failure, kicking off the main plot.
** In "The Peanut Butter Kid", when Peter and Lois are overworking Stewie after he becomes a child actor, Peter gives him a bit of "8-Hour Energy", which is a mix of 5-Hour Energy, espresso, Scotts Turf Builder, and a "tiny, tiny, super small" amount of cocaine. A sip causes Stewie to become instantly wired and he [[EyeScream bleeds out of his eye]]. Peter later gives him another batch with Ecstasy thrown in for when they go clubbing.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has Mabel-Juice, a homemade drink that apparently gives you a lot of extra energy. Two variants are shown on the show: bright green and bright pink. It's unknown what goes into it, but it always has ice cubes and plastic toys floating inside. Grunkle Stan describes it as "if coffee and nightmares had a baby".
