* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXlrCKujdhg Very Hot]].

* [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] from Webcomic/AwkwardZombie likes ''Super Smash Bros'' curry so much, he set the group's apartment on fire several times and burnt through his stomach wall.

* A series of Australian commercials for KFC during the 90s used this trope. Unusually the customers didn't seem to be any discomfort while gaining the ability to breath fire. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMrm7xLJwjc This in the original,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaA8Xg7Z0UA and a later one which doubles as a DumbBlonde joke.]]

* This is one of the effects of the HideousHangoverCure that {{Comicbook/Asterix}} accidentally invents in ''Asterix and the Laurel Wreath''.

* In several HarryPotter fics firewhiskey makes the drinker breathe flames for several seconds after consumption.

* In the Literature/{{Discworld}} book ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}'', the wizards are somewhat disappointed that Bilious, the Oh God of Hangovers, doesn't display this as part of the "humorous side effects" of the HideousHangoverCure they'd just made for him.
** There is also Mustrum Ridicully's Wow Wow sauce which is so potent that, in ''ReaperMan'', he uses a bottle of it to cause a magic-resistant slime to explode, taking this trope to its logical conclusion.

* A ''Comicstrip/{{Garfield}}'' [[http://www.garfield.com/comics/vault.html?yr=2000&addr=000917 strip]] featured Garfield and Jon having a contest to see who can eat the hottest pepper without invoking this trope. Garfield loses after eating a [[MeaningfulName Peruvian Death Pepper]].

* Lampshaded on some printings of the ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' card [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=3445 Firebreathing.]]

* [[LuckyLuke Tortillas for the Daltons]] sees Lucky Luke as the victim of this trope. The Mexican who talked him into drinking tequila just says: "Refreshing, isn't it?"

Excessively spicy food invariably results in a (usually metaphorical) [[BreathWeapon blast of flame from the mouth]] of the diner, often after he or she has quickly turned red from feet to top of head (in the manner of a rising thermometer, sometimes with a distinctive rising "boooOOOP!" or whistling kettle sound effect).

** Also happened to Garfield on [[http://garfield.com/comic/1982-06-19 his fourth birthday]], because he swallowed his cake before blowing the candles out!

* A series of Australian commercials for KFC during the 90s used this trope. Unusually the customers didn't seem to be any discomfort while gaining the ability to breath fire.

** In a more recent example, the same character [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2007/02/27/ozy-and-millie-1834/ makes use of the trope again]], this time as part of an attempt to let his friend to go on a field trip without a permission slip.

* Don't forgot [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3s9WvoTtxc Red Robin]], okay okay so only smoke in this case, but hey where there's smoke...

In RealLife, capsaicin (the chemical found in 'hot' foods) works by directly stimulating the nerves responsible for detecting heat. This fools the brain and causes heat-related effects such as a flushed face and sweating. However, no spice can actually produce ''real'' heat, let alone fire - although there are certainly some foods that can make you ''feel'' like your mouth is on fire.
