* The Abominable Snowman's mysterious "lemon" snowcones in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', which he offers to visitors. The frigid remoteness of his cave and his chronic isolation are... not reassuring. [[note]]However, it is never revealed where it came from, and the Yeti could well have been being [[SincerityMode sincere]] when he says "it's lemon". [[/note]]

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', Patrick ate yellow sand.

When you see snow outside that's ominously yellow-colored. Or worse, when someone tries to feed you a "lemon" snowcone. Yeah, this is a ToiletHumour trope. Sometimes hilariously combined with a character's own moment of FridgeHorror when they realize what it actually is. [[IAteWhat Especially if they took a bite of it]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Dr. Venture is left stranded and naked in the high Arctic by his paranoid PoisonousFriend Richard Impossible. As he's wandering through the frozen plain, he abruptly steps into polar bear urine, and angrily laments how he has the bad luck to step into the only patch of Yellow Snow for miles around.

* ''WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses'': In one christmas episode featuring Sage, the last question asked is what happens when somebody eats yellow snow. Sage is blunt in that he says that you get sick because you ate pee.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'' episode ''In the Cards'', Ami and Yumi were fighting over a boy in an intense game of [[{{Parody}} Stu-Pi-Oh!]]. Ami played called "Instant Tundra Yellow Snow" on Yumi, which involved trapping her in a [[HumanSnowman snowman]] and random dog doing its business there.
