* The Heart Attack Grill in Nevada is based around this trope. Lard-cooked fries, butter fat shakes, burgers with anywhere from one to eight beef patties with calorie counts easily skyrocketing into the high thousands and ten thousands (they do offer some vegan options, however-- they're all [[TakeThat packs of cigarettes]]). Customers who weigh over 350 pounds can weigh in with staff for a free meal--specifically as a way to make them wonder what they're doing with their life. The Heart Attack Grill has actually claimed at least one patron. And at least one employee. What makes this all especially ironic is that it was founded by disgruntled fitness guru Jon Basso as a form of protest towards the fitness industry; he later moved on to advertise with criticism towards the fast food industry as a whole, saying [[AtLeastIAdmitIt unlike them, he's made it clear]] that his food ''will'' put you in an oversized casket.

* The RU Hungry Sandwich Stand of New Brunswick, New Jersey offers "fat sandwiches": essentially large subs with combinations of just about any foods you can imagine. For example, the Fat Darrel is filled with chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, french fries, and marinara sauce.

* ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'': The episode "The Madness of King Nutbar" has King Nut Bars, Scaredy's favorite candy bar ([[OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam that only he likes]]) that while have over three hundred essential nutrients, also contain over ''seven hundred'' non-essential fats (like butter, lard, and bacon to name a few), which causes Scaredy to turn so morbidly obese from eating so many within a short timespan that he's able to cry nougat. Because of this, the creators start making ones that are one hundred percent nutritious at Scaredy's request, only for Nestor to reveal at the ending [[DownerEnding that the company went out of business because nutritious food doesn't sell]]. Although Scaredy doesn't seem to mind much due to having decided to swear off Nut Bars anyway.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation has [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-807 SCP-807,]] the Heart Attack on a Plate. Any food placed on it will be turned into this trope, and consuming it will invariably cause a heart attack within 5 minutes. In a possible ShoutOut to ''The Boondocks'' below, a veggie burger becomes the infamous Luther Burger described below. And then [[TooDumbToLive someone tries to put another Luther Burger on it]]... the specifics are redacted, but there were a ''lot'' of casualties.

* According to ''VideoGame/SlimeRancher'''s [[AllThereInTheManual Slimepedia]], Honey Slimes' plorts are this, being so sweet that refined versions of them are said to score ''867 on the Werner-Thompkins-Hong-sacchrino scale'', a.k.a. not fit for human consumption.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', "Odd Ball", [[RunningGag various characters eat Farmer Ahab's Blubber Nuggets]], chicken nuggets made out of whale blubber.

* Arby's has an item called the Meat Mountain. From the website: "Stacked ridiculously high with almost all the meats. Two chicken tenders, slices of roast turkey, pit-smoked ham, corned beef, 13-hour smoked brisket, USDA-choice Angus steak, roast beef, and pepper bacon. There’s also cheddar and Swiss cheese somewhere in there.". The finished product contains at least 3 grams of sodium amid a mound of deli meat so big it tends to destroy the wrapping it comes in.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'', a FreezeFrameBonus in an early scene shows that Scooby Snacks in this continuity contain 850 calories, 37.5 grams of saturated fat, 1,000 milligrams of sodium, and '''8,000 grams''' of sugar each. Yes, each. Not per serving, '''each'''.

* The ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' cartoons often had Shaggy and Scooby-Doo enjoying such snacks, usually in the form of a [[DagwoodSandwich sandwich of some kind]].

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'', another Creator/MattGroening show with many of the same voice actors, "[[Recap/DisenchantmentS2E7LovesSlimyEmbrace Love's Slimy Embrace]]" has [[AdiposeRex King Zøg]] learn that gout is a "rich man's disease" and thinks this means [[AssociationFallacy if he gets it, he'll be rich and successful]]. He enlists [[ToxicFriendInfluence Luci]] to help him get gout, which involves eating tons of fatty foods, drinking alcohol constantly, and ''[[ExaggeratedTrope injecting fat directly into his veins]]''.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'':
** One episode had Bill and Boomhauer discover [[DeepFriedWhatever a man selling deep-fried bananas]] at a stall, and it eventually gives them the idea to see what else they can deep fry. This included, among other things; deep-fried fruits, deep-fried fish, deep-fried ''chocolate bar'', ''re''-deep-fried chicken, [[ItMakesSenseInContext accidental deep frying of a beer can]] [[spoiler: which started a fire...]]
** "[[Recap/KingOfTheHillS13E1DiaBillIcShock Dia-Bill-Ic Shock]]" opens with Bill at a carnival. He orders a giant lollipop and asks the carny to "put a wig on it", which translates into dipping the lollipop in the cotton candy machine. As Bobby looks on in awe, Bill mentions another secret menu item called a "hugging cow", a hamburger wrapped in pastrami. The cotton-candy-covered lollipop (along with the other junk food Bill was eating at the time) causes him to collapse, and he is then taken to the hospital and diagnosed with diabetes.
* On a DVD extra, ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' demonstrates how to make his daily breakfast, Eggs Woodhouse, which guest Alton Brown calls a "cholesterol Katrina" as it's made with creamed spinach, Bechamel ''and'' Hollandaise sauce, Pata Negra ham, and half a cup of butter (plus saffron and truffles to up the dollar value).
-->'''Alton:''' What is your cholesterol level?\\
'''Archer:''' I assume it's ''awesome'' - since the alcohol constantly flushes it out of my veins.\\
'''Alton:''' That... that is absolutely ''not'' how that works!
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
** In "The Menu", the secret menu item, rumored to serve as enough to replace all three meals for seven people for seven years, turns out to be a [[DagwoodSandwich dagwood burger]] that Gumball describes as "grosser than a normal burger". It's also rumored that if one can [[MegaMealChallenge finish it within 15 minutes]], Joyful Burger will pay for their hospital bills. Apparently, the average kid's meal from Joyful Burger has less nutritional value than the toy that comes with it, as well.
** There's also the Sluzzlewurst, invented by junk food connoisseur Richard Watterson for a holiday his son made up. Just getting all the ingredients to add to the giant sausage that makes its main body nearly bankrupted him, and it was so fattening everyone in the family that even had a taste (other than [[BigEater Richard]] himself) started sweating butter.
** "The Compilation" had Richard inventing "Buttersmear", a mass of butter on a stick mixed with several greasy foods. After eating it for every meal for 11 days straight, he loses all feeling in his body and collapses on his computer desk during a stream after eating another.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' shows Angelica watching a commercial for her favorite candy bar. We get to hear the beginning of the jingle: "If you like chocolate with gum underneath/If you like caramel sticking to your teeth/[[BreadMilkEggsSquick If you like the dentist drilling cavities]]..."
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** In the episode "Saturated Fat Guy", fed up with Lois trying to get him to eat healthy, [[BigEater Peter]] gets a food truck where he sells food of this nature. They include burgers with jelly donuts for buns, milkshakes with hot dogs for straws, Swedish Fish tacos with chili, and "cereal" that's just M&M's in Dr. Pepper. Before he gets the truck, he also makes a panini in his car with sausages, peanut butter cups, Dorito crumbs, and a Cadbury egg. Understandably, he ends up morbidly obese from living inside his truck and eating nothing but his own cooking.
** The episode "Dr. C and the Women" opens with a commercial for Outback Steakhouse Extreme, for people who like Outback Steakhouse but think the portions aren't big enough. Instead of bloomin' onions, they serve bloomin' ''pumpkins'', their steaks are 50 lbs. of [[ExoticEntree elephant meat]], and for drinks, they serve 40 ounces of malt liquor mixed with ranch dressing. The commercial closes with the tagline "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Punish - your - toilet!]]"
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', Cleveland Jr. and Kendra travel to Wisconsin. One of the local delicacies is "Crazy Butter", which is a mug full of melted butter topped with cheese.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}'': In one episode, Bobby makes a bet with Bodean that he can come up with a better alternative to Obamacare, only to find himself trying to keep Bodean from landing himself in the hospital because of his total lack of common sense, which includes his diet. His favorite meal is a huge plate of bacon - ''raw'' bacon - washed down with a 64 oz Coke.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn'' episode "Hug Fest", as part of a BraveTheRidePlot where Poppy takes Branch to his first Hug Fest and wants to go on a particular ride (a combination drop tower and bungee jump), Branch tries to stall for time by going to the food court and ordering whatever will take him the longest to eat. The server offers him a "Snuggler", which is a hot dog surrounded in a cupcake, which is then covered in three types of cheese, put into a brownie, and the whole thing caked in a massive ball of fried batter. Branch immediately loses his appetite after receiving it.
* ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'': The episode "The Madness of King Nutbar" has King Nut Bars, Scaredy's favorite candy bar ([[OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam that only he likes]]) that while having over three hundred essential nutrients, also contain over ''seven hundred'' non-essential fats (like butter, lard, and bacon to name a few), causing Scaredy to turn morbidly obese within the span of a few hours from eating so many. Because of this, the creators start making ones that are one hundred percent nutritious at Scaredy's request, only for Nestor to reveal at the ending [[DownerEnding that the company went out of business because nutritious food doesn't sell]]. Although Scaredy doesn't seem to mind much due to having decided to swear off Nut Bars anyway.
* Passion Patties from ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' were made with a "highly concentrated sugar extract" that caused them to be ridiculously addictive after a single bite and highly fattening. People who kept eating the cookies gradually became obese after only a few days. In fact, when Dr. Inga Bittersweet, the woman who invented Passion Patties, is force fed an entire vial of her extract, she grows obese in seconds.
* Exploited in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', when an old bodybuilder named Mighty Moe discovers that stacking a bunch of healthy habits basically lets you live forever due to a loophole in the afterlife system. Mandy eventually figures that if good habits add to your lifespan, bad ones subtract from it; so she and Grim try to get Mighty Moe to eat a giant cheesy puff (as in it's about the size of Grim's skull) in order to counteract his healthy habits and allow Grim to reap his soul.

* A {{downplayed}} version happens in ''WebAnimation/FizzysLunchLab''. In one episode, Avril eats a bunch of "candy apples" - which are really just candy lollipops in the shape of apples. Unsurprisingly, she gets sick from having too much sugar.

* LevelAte from ''[[VideoGame/EarthwormJim Earthworm Jim 2]]'' is quite literally '''made''' out of fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs is a subtrope of this regarding very unhealthy (and ''very'' sugary) cereals, and DeepFriedWhatever for already unhealthy things soaked in boiling oil. Compare BigEater, DeliciousDistraction, AWeightyAesop, AlienLunch, FoodPorn (this trope is probably the equivalent of FanDisservice for the last one), and GargleBlaster (which is an extremely potent alcoholic beverage). [[InvertedTrope Inverse]] of IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou. Not to be confused with the more literal AcidRefluxNightmare.

* ''Webcomic/CursedPrincessClub'': Prince Jamie [[SweetTooth loves to eat sugary foods]], and his absolute favorite dish is the "Magical Friendship Volcano Surprise", which consists of three stacked waffles with lots of whipped cream and strawberries slathered between them, a hole cut down the middle of the stack filled with sweet toppings and sprinkles, butterscotch sauce drizzled all over, and a ring of marshmallow bunnies on top. Chef Martina is visibly appalled when she hears that Gwendolyn is making such an unhealthy dish for her brother ("My stomach hurts just thinking about it...").

* Captain Spangley's Tasty Chicken Cookies from the ''WesternAnimation/PetAlien'' episode "The World Without Hamburgers" are ridiculously greasy (to the point where Gumpers makes one explode from a light squeeze) and apparently made from leftover chicken parts that are then mashed together, boiled in oil and fried extensively.

** Another episode features their idea of [[GiganticGulp drink sizes]]. Their Small size is a half-gallon (about 1.9 liters), their Regular is a gallon, and their Child-Size comes in at a whopping four gallons. It apparently takes its name from the fact that it's literally the size of a small child, if that child were liquified. The only thing they have below the Small-size is the Lil Swallow, which costs only five cents less and is the size of a shot glass (reportedly, its main buyers are little girls who want something for their dollhouses).

*** While excess sodium increases blood pressure and makes your body waterlogged, the ''lack'' of sodium is an emergency that can kill you way faster and way more painfully than any cardivascular disease would, because sodium is vital in transmitting nerve impulses across the body. Hyponatriemia, as the condition is called, can lead to very painful seizures, coma and even death if not treated immediately. And the fact is, without added salt, human diet consists of barely enough sodium to skirt it. Which is why our bodies are wired to see the salt as tasty and seek it out wherever possible, which leads to the same MortonsFork as with the fats.

* Arby's has an item called the Meat Mountain. From the website: "Stacked ridiculously high with almost all the meats. Two chicken tenders, slices of roast turkey, pit-smoked ham, corned beef, 13-hour smoked brisket, USDA-choice Angus steak, roast beef, and pepper bacon. There’s also cheddar and swiss cheese somewhere in there.". The finished product contains at least 3 grams of sodium amid a mound of deli meat so big it tends to destroy the wrapping it comes in.

** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E5LisaTheVegetarian Lisa the Vegetarian]]" it's revealed that Homer drinks a glass of pancake syrup every morning.

* ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'': The episode "Lucky Duck" features Quacker Jacks, a ''ridiculously'' unhealthy snack food sponsored by Quacky the Duck, whose ingredients involve a ton of trans fats and artificial bacon cheese. So unhealthy, that when Dudley wins a lifetime supply of them, he's only given two boxes, because according to Quacky: "[[DeconstructedTrope Well, with all the trans fats and fake bacon cheese, you can't eat more than two boxes and live.]]"

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' features a customer ordering "a king-size Ultra Krabby Supreme with the works, double-batter deep-fried, on a stick." It appears to be a very well-stacked hamburger fried until it looks more like a golden-brown cylinder. He also eats it with mayonnaise... as in, he squirts the mayo into the back of his throat. Squidward regards the guy with absolute contempt.
** Then there's Bubble Bass's order in the classic episode "Pickles." Not only is almost all of his HashHouseLingo [[ShownTheirWork based in reality]], his order has been decoded and even defictionalized. The result is a towering monstrosity that is so tall that it can't even stand upright by itself, and is much too large for one person to eat in one sitting, producing something that is equal parts this trope and AwesomeButImpractical.

* The ''WebOriginal/QuackityHQ'' "DISCORD COOKING COMPETITION" series ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jadAng943VA]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwJmdfYOeMA]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBCpv9SeItg]]) features several recepies that are frankly quite disturbing.

* Somewhere in the mists of UsefulNotes/{{Portland}}, UsefulNotes/{{Oregon}}, there exists a lunch cart called Brunchbox which serves the "Redonkadonk," a legendarily unhealthy sandwich. It's not just the contents of the sandwich--a burger patty, ham, bacon, cheese, egg, and Spam--that put it in the two thousand-plus calorie range; it's the fact that there isn't any bread. The fillings are placed between ''two whole grilled cheese sandwiches'' on extra-thick Texas toast. The Redonkadonk even has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redonkadonk its own page]] on Wiki/TheOtherWiki!

* The Heart Attack Grill in Nevada is based around this trope. Lard-cooked fries, butter fat shakes, burgers with anywhere from one to eight beef patties with calorie counts easily skyrocketing into the high thousands and ten thousands (they do offer some vegan options, however-- they're all [[TakeThat packs of cigarettes]]). Customers who weigh over 350 pounds can weigh in with staff for a free meal--specifically as a way to make them wonder what they're doing with their life. The Heart Attack Grill has actually claimed at least one patron. And at least one employee. What makes this all especially ironic is that it was founded by disgruntled fitness guru Jon Basso as a form of protest towards the fitness industry.
