Fictional food creations we'd like to eat

Food frequently plays key parts in film, television, and even literature storytelling. There are plenty of fictional food creations we'd love to sink our teeth into just once, for better or worse. Here are some of the top fictional foods we'd like to eat.

Big Kahuna Burger ('Pulp Fiction')

Big Kahuna Burger ('Pulp Fiction')
YouTube

Note: Big Kahuna Burger is not limited to Pulp Fiction, though its most notable reference comes when hitman Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) takes a serious bite out of Brett's burger from the popular Hawaiian-themed fast food chain. "This is a tasty burger!" Jules notes before it's time to blow the entire apartment away or get shot himself. Big Kahuna Burger is briefly referred to in other films associated with Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, such as Four Rooms and From Dusk till Dawn.

Cheesy Blasters ('30 Rock')

Cheesy Blasters ('30 Rock')
YouTube

When Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) thinks some of the cast and crew of The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan (TGS) have become too caught up in their own fame and white-collar lifestyle, he wants to bring them back down to earth. He takes the crew out for some "Cheesy Blasters," the most popular food of most regular Americans. Liz (Tina Fey) seems to be the only one excited about the hot dog stuffed with Jack cheese and folded into a pizza. We'd definitely be interested in a bite.

Cheesy Poofs ('South Park')

Cheesy Poofs ('South Park')
YouTube

The favorite snack food of Eric Cartman, "Cheesy Poofs" are nothing more than the everyday cheese puff. However, to Cartman, they are like his source of fuel. There have been times that Comedy Central has sold their version of the snack in real stores (in 1998 and again in 2011) in limited edition.

Chocolate Salty Balls ('South Park')

Chocolate Salty Balls ('South Park')

When the Sundance Film Festival was moved to South Park, Chef (Isaac Hayes) decided to take advantage of the masses coming to town by offering his popular sweet treats. According to South Park lore, Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls are "simply chocolate confectioneries rounded into a ball shape with added salt as a flavor enhancer." Of course, the innuendo of something else makes the snack even more special, especially when Chef sings about them.

Cup O’ Pizza ('The Jerk')

Cup O’ Pizza ('The Jerk')
YouTube

Featured in the 1979 Steve Martin comedy The Jerk, Cup O' Pizza was a restaurant where Navin R. Johnson (Martin) just couldn't get enough of the main menu item. The item appears to be no more than pizza crust, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and various Italian spices mixed into a cup, but to Navin, it's heaven. Navin liked the restaurant so much that he used some of the original décor and signage to decorate his home.

Duff Beer ('The Simpsons'), Pawtucket Patriot Ale ('Family Guy'), Butterbeer ('Harry Potter')

Duff Beer ('The Simpsons'), Pawtucket Patriot Ale ('Family Guy'), Butterbeer ('Harry Potter')
Fox

Is beer a food? It is to us. If we're rounding out a six-pack, there's no doubt that Duff Beer and Pawtucket Patriot Ale would be headlining. For those who want something with a bit of lighter alcohol content, Butterbeer might be more up your alley. We're getting thirsty just writing this.

Everlasting Gobstopper ('Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory')

Everlasting Gobstopper ('Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory')
Paramount

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory offers so many choices that it's tough to choose just one — from the actual 'Wonka Bar' to lickable wallpaper and even the fizzy lifting drink that seemed to carry a kick. Ultimately, we can't say no to the Everlasting Gobstopper if for no other reason than it could provide our taste buds enjoyment forever. Thanks, Willy!

$5 Milkshake ('Pulp Fiction')

$5 Milkshake ('Pulp Fiction')
Miramax

Another Pulp Fiction food item that gets our mouths watering. Vincent Vega (John Travolta) was incredulous at the thought of paying five dollars for this cold combination. We'd gladly pay the five bucks to have one sip. Vega's amateur food critic review is pretty compelling.

Egga-Mooby Muffin ('Dogma')

Egga-Mooby Muffin ('Dogma')
YouTube

Mooby's fast food restaurant has been a prominent part of Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse. After all, it was the business setting for Clerks II. Yet, one of the earliest references to what the place serves came in Dogma (1999) when Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) enjoyed some al fresco breakfast dining with Jay, Silent Bob, and forgotten apostle Rufus (Chris Rock). The latter seemed amazed with his breakfast sandwich, which is your classic egg, cheese, and sausage patty between an English muffin. Pop-up versions of Mooby's, which featured primarily vegan fare, have sprung up across the U.S.

Green Eggs and Ham ('Dr. Seuss')

Green Eggs and Ham ('Dr. Seuss')
YouTube

One of the most beloved children's books of all time offers this unique dish that the unnamed person eventually becomes fond of due to Sam-I-Am's persistence. We assume there was just some food coloring added to the green eggs and ham, but the taste is the same as the normal-looking foods would deliver. Leave it to the wonderful Dr. Seuss, however, to leave one's imagination to do all the work.

Krabby Patty ('SpongeBob SquarePants')

Krabby Patty ('SpongeBob SquarePants')
YouTube

The signature menu item of the Krusty Krab. It's more than a burger because there is no meat on the patty. According to SpongeBob SquarePants lore, it's similar to a veggie burger. The overall concoction includes "lettuce, onions, and tomatoes with sea cheese, pickles, mustard, and ketchup between seaweed-sea buns." SpongeBob has often noted that the secret formula that makes the patty taste so good is "love." Who's to argue with that?

Krusty Burger ('The Simpsons')

Krusty Burger ('The Simpsons')
YouTube

Krusty the Clown is more than an entertainer. He's capable of putting together a popular burger restaurant chain, though he's not fond of the food. The menu is rather extensive, featuring the likes of The Clogger and the Whatchamacarcass Sandwich. Still, it's the original Krusty Burger that remains a crowd favorite. Fans of The Simpsons can partake in a Krusty Burger (1/3-pound burger patty with Secret Sauce, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles) at Universal Studios theme parks in California and Florida.

Mega Burger ('Beverly Hills, 90210')

Mega Burger ('Beverly Hills, 90210')
YouTube

Another burger on this list. From what we know, the preferred meal choice at The Peach Pit features two burger patties, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and Bermuda onions. We also know that customers can add chili to the burger, which will always be made fresh. Longtime Pit employee Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley) has used the burger to endear himself to dates on occasion.

Ol' 96er ('The Great Outdoors')

Ol' 96er ('The Great Outdoors')

Is there a more famous cut of meat in movie history than this ridiculously huge masterpiece from the beloved 1988 John Candy comedy? Chet Ripley (Candy) thought he was up to the Herculean task of taking on this behemoth 96-ounce primed-age beef steak. If he finished in its entirety, his whole table would eat for free. He drew quite the crowd at Paul Bunyan's Cupboard watching this battle of man vs. meat.

Sandwich of Death ('Regular Show')

Sandwich of Death ('Regular Show')
YouTube

Regular Show stars Mordecai and Rigby love a good meal, whether we're talking 3 a.m. "Pizza Pouches" or the $85 "46" from Sandwicci's. But their favorite might be the "Sandwich of Death" from Death Kwon Do Pizza and Subs. After signing the "Waiver of Death," it's time to sink your teeth into this super sub, complete with what we believe is tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, Canadian bacon, and meatballs. Unfortunately, Benson beats the boys to the sandwich and puts his life in danger since he does not know the proper way to eat the massive creation.

Schweddy Balls ('Saturday Night Live')

Schweddy Balls ('Saturday Night Live')
YouTube

Pete Schweddy (Alec Baldwin) is well known for his bite-size "Schweddy Balls." Sold at his holiday bakery Season's Eatings, his balls come in various shapes, sizes, and flavors. All made from a secret Schweddy recipe. The SNL sketch, which features then-cast members Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer as NPR talk show hosts Terry Rialto and Margaret Jo McCullin, remains one of the most memorable moments in the show's history.

Scooby Snacks ('Scooby-Doo')

Scooby Snacks ('Scooby-Doo')
YouTube

In time, Scooby Snacks became a real-life dog treat. But it's still the fictional food choice for that famous crime-fighting dog — and even his goofy master, Shaggy — worth celebrating. Scooby Snacks appear to be nothing more than crunchy dog biscuits, but they have the power to entice Scooby into putting his life on the line to get to the bottom of a caper or solve a significant crime. "What would you do for a Scooby Snack?"

Soylent Green ('Soylent Green')

Soylent Green ('Soylent Green')
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Remember, this is a fictional list. In this case, we're talking science-fiction from 1973. The "Soylent Green" wafer is apparently tasty and high in nutritional value. It's one of the few good things about the current state of the world in 2022, where overpopulation and climate issues have the planet in crisis. Soylent Industries claims its new food substitute is made from plankton. But NYPD detective Frank Thorn (Charlton Heston) discovers that's shockingly not the case.

Spaghetti Tacos ('iCarly')

Spaghetti Tacos ('iCarly')
YouTube

A culinary favorite of Carly (Miranda Cosgrove), Sam (Jennette McCurdy), and Freddie (Nathan Kress). It's also one of Carly's brother Spencer's signature dishes out of the kitchen. Then again, it's not that hard to make. We only need some cooked spaghetti with red sauce and a crunchy taco shell

Squealer ('Whip It!')

Squealer ('Whip It!')
Fox Searchlight Pictures

Bliss (Elliot Page) lives in tiny Bodeen, Texas. Best known for the BBQ joint she works at that features the "Squealer." If anybody can eat this massive pork-filled sandwich in three minutes or less, it's free. That lucky customer gets their picture taken and put on the restaurant's wall. It sounds like the perfect pre-game meal before heading into Austin for some roller derby.

Stay-Puft Marshmallows ('Ghostbusters')

Stay-Puft Marshmallows ('Ghostbusters')
YouTube

Stay-Puft Marshmallows are nothing more than a fictional brand of this timeless classic sweet treat. Yet, movie fans shouldn't forget the name or its smiley mascot who grew to giant form in Ghostbusters and threatened to destroy New York City. We assume Stay-Puft Marshmallows taste like any other marshmallow, but the point is that the mascot and the brand name are such a big part of movie history that both should be celebrated.

ToMacco ('The Simpsons')

ToMacco ('The Simpsons')
YouTube

Homer really thought he was onto something when he grew "ToMacco." The tomato/tobacco hybrid plant came to be when he used plutonium to fertilize said fields. The finished product's taste was terrible ("It takes like cigarette butts," Bart yelped) but addictive. Being the savvy businessman he is, Homer jumped on the chance to sell this uniquely awful product, which outwardly looked like a tomato but had the insides of tobacco leaf, to gullible travelers.

Tubby Toast ('Teletubbies')

Tubby Toast ('Teletubbies')
YouTube

So simple yet fulfilling at the same time. Tubby toast, which is just a circular piece of toasted bread complete with a smiley face on it, is the favorite of Dipsy, Tinky Winky, Po, and Laa-Laa. On the show, we hear that Tubby Toast is made of either foam or plastic. However, it should not be too difficult to make in real life, assuming one can get the bread in a perfect circle. Give it a try.
