* Probably the best example of this trope from ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' (the movie, anyway) would be the huge pile of leftover food made after a month of food weather (affectionately called "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Mt. Leftovers]]").
* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' the Genie takes the "choose 1 from Column A and 1 from Column B" menu convention literally and briefly creates two towers of food during the "Never Had a Friend Like Me" song.

* ''Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow'': A variant appears in "[[Recap/TheAquabatsSuperShowS1E1ManAnt ManAnt!]]": after the team beats [=ManAnt=], a super sized Crash discovers that stolen burgers have been stockpiled in a nearby giant anthill. [[FoodSongsAreFunny Cue "Burger Rain".]]
* ''Series/ManVFood'': Adam Richman's insane eating challenges often take the form of at least a foothill of food if not a full-blown mountain. Even the standard size portions can look to non-Americans like a substantial hillock. Adam tends to hit The Wall a lot when his body begins to physically reject the idea of ingesting any more.

* A literal version is seen in ''WebAnimation/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".
