Big Eater is a common trope in fiction, but in real life, even this behavior is not without its dark side. Forcing oneself to eat way too much in one sitting can cause one's stomach to rupture, which has very unpleasant consequences. In real life, chances of survival are 50-50 but in a fictional work, it's usually portrayed as being lethal. Sometimes in fiction, the person's body bursts, spilling out their stomach contents and entrails. This grossly exaggerated variation is usually Played for Laughs and by extension not always lethal. Compare Balloon Belly and Food Coma. May turn into a case of Death by Irony, particularly since the entire point of eating is to keep oneself alive. For an extremely unsympathetic gluttonous character this may be used as a Karmic Death as a way to have their biggest vice bite them in the ass, so to speak. Going to Give It More Energy is similar, where the eater devours too much energy. When it is their Greed that does them in, see Death by Materialism. When it is their Lust, see either Out with a Bang or Sex Signals Death. With Pride leads to Bullying a Dragon, it's Death by Mocking. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

The Simpsons: This happens to Homer Simpson a few times during the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes. One episode has a pair of vampires suck on Homer's blood, but they suck up more than they can handle and die not just from having too much blood but sucking up all the fat and bad cholesterol that Homer had. Another one, however, has Homer in Hell, forced to eat all the donuts in the world as a sort of ironic punishment. Not only does he eat them all, but he still wants more afterwards! |

MythBusters investigated an Urban Legend about this happening when one eats Pop Rocks and Cola, by feeding them into a pig's stomach mounted onto a model human skeleton. Normal quantities had no appreciable effect. Larger quantities produced a lot of gas (which would result in bloating and discomfort), but since the gas has... avenues of escape, no explosions. The only way to have this happen from Pop Rocks and Cola? If the stomach is clamped up at both the esophageal and duodenal end... which normally doesn't happen in Real Life. So, at least this variation is busted. | |

In NetHack, eating anything, no matter how insubstantial, when satiated carries the risk of choking to death over your food. Also for the sake of puns, polymorphing into a metallivorous creature and gorging on too much gold makes the cause of death "eating too rich a meal." | |

This fate is narrowly adverted in Drifters. After liberating the starved and enslaved dwarves, Oda Nobunaga hears how they've begun to feast and quickly issues orders to slow them down and prevent them from gorging, as he seems familiar with refeeding syndrome. | |

The U.S. advertisement for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, references the "Mr. Creosote" scene in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, showing a man in a restaurant eating nonstop until his Balloon Belly starts to pop the buttons on his shirt.

Darlene Fleischermacher, one of the seven psychopaths in Dead Rising 3, epitomizes the sin of Gluttony. She is an optional enemy, challenged only because she is defending an all-you-can-eat restaurant to the death. However, this proves to be Darlene's undoing when her motorized scooter tips backwards, pinning her beneath the handlebars. Her irritable belly, already engorged to impossible size, rebels from being shaken up, and the scooter prevents her from freeing herself. She ends up choking to death on her own vomit. | |

Played for horror in the Supernatural season 5 episode "My Bloody Valentine". The Horseman Famine compels a town full of people to eat and drink themselves to death in truly horrific ways. A young couple eat each other to death while having sex. One man binges on Twinkies until he can't swallow anymore, at which point he starts shoving them down his throat with a toilet brush. Another man wants fries so badly he shoves his hands and then his face into a fryer where the fries are still cooking. Even Castiel, an angel who doesn't feel hunger, is compelled by Famine's presence to devour raw meat off the floor. Eventually Famine itself is defeated the same way: When he fails to tempt Sam with the blood of several demons, Famine eats the demons himself. Sam then exorcises the demons, ripping them right out of Famine's guts. | |

At the end of Bad Girls from Valley High, Mrs. Witt (the old woman who Danielle was meant to be caring for) shows up and reveals that she was Charity's grandmother. Also, while she had been briefly unable to speak due to a stroke, she had very good hearing and sight and overheard Danielle bragging about Charity's murder. Witt then reveals she poisoned the chocolate box (knowing that the girls would eat it) with an aging chemical (thanks to her late roommate's husband that worked with biological warfare technology); Brooke wasn't dying as she demonstrated self-control while Danielle and Tiffany had eaten most of the poisoned chocolate. | |

One of the ways to die in Fatal Labyrinth is to eat too much. There's a food counter on the screen, and you really need to stop picking up food if it's high enough, because if it goes over 99, it's Game Over. If it only goes over 80, you only get much slower and can save yourself by walking until the counter goes below 80 again, but you never know how much food is on the ground until you actually pick it up. If your counter is relatively high already, and decide to pick up some more food just in case, you might get unlucky enough to skip the "overweight" part and kick the bucket right then and there. | |

However, he ends up being a Karma Houdini until in the end gluttony does him in. With no friends or loves ones, he spends all his time eating and becomes morbidly obese. He dies of a heart attack and a wall has to be removed to take his body out for burial. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: According to Carl Barks, Gladstone Gander's incredible luck runs in the family - in fact, his parents died of overeating at a free picnic. Don Rosa, who usually cleaves very close to Barks' backstories, decided that they died another way, if only because that particular method of death isn't the sort of thing you could depict in a comic read by children. Also, one of Scrooge's ancestors, Sir Roast McDuck, "died of overeating after robbing the king's pantry". |

Munch can die this way in Tribal Hunter if you have him eat until he exceeds his fullness capacity. While eating too much food is the most common way for Munch to explode, other obstacles such as slimes forcing their way into his mouth, enemies and hazards that can fill him with air, and ghosts that possess him can all make Munch grow bigger and explode as well if he gets overstuffed. There are a few quick ways to burn off Munch's excess weight such as using his magic while sitting or consuming an item to burn it off. | |

Psychonauts 2: Throughout Compton's Cookoff, Raz is instructed with gathering ingredients to make increasingly complex dishes to feed to the Gluttonous Goats, the bosses of the level. Their boss fight requires the player to gather ingredients and then receive a cooked dish from Compton in return, and Raz feeds it to the goats. The goats have eaten so much that by this point, they can't handle eating any more, and two out of three of them explode from overeating. | |

In the novel The Natural, Roy has an insatiable appetite that finally comes back to bite him; after devouring 6 cheeseburgers for a midnight snack, his stomach finally gives out (it's unclear what exactly happened, but it doesn't seem like it actually ruptured). He was rushed to the hospital and ended up surviving, but it severely hurt the team's chances of winning the final game. | |

The upwardly mobile villain of The Boxtrolls, Archibald Snatcher, is obsessed with cheese-eating as a sign of status even though he has a violent allergy that causes him to swell up and develop a nasty rash. At the film's end, he blackmails his way into Lord Portley-Rind's tasting room and, despite already suffering from a nasty "cheese fit" after landing on a giant wheel of Brie, devours a sample of Portley-Rind's rarest cheese. After a Delayed Reaction long enough for Snatcher to feign cheese expertise, a Distant Reaction Shot shows he messily exploded in a cloud of cheese-y mist. | |

Super Mario Bros.: The way Wart, the final boss of Super Mario Bros. 2 is killed by stuffing him with vegetables supplied by the machine in the center of the room. The gluttony part is not voluntary since Mario and his friends are force-feeding Wart and it's also stated that Wart hates vegetables. The U.S. advertisement for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, references the "Mr. Creosote" scene in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, showing a man in a restaurant eating nonstop until his Balloon Belly starts to pop the buttons on his shirt. He continues to eat until he explodes, spraying the nearby patrons with the food he just ate. Mr. Luggs from Luigi's Mansion ate himself to death and continues to eat more even as a ghost. |

Girl Genius: The Deepdwellers have trouble stopping eating if there's food in front of them, and will continue to eat until they die "like goldfish". Dimo manages to prevent a diplomatic disaster upon learning this by making up a "ceremonial run around the sub and dance party", to get them to stop eating for a bit and burn some calories. | |

Happens in The Real Ghostbusters in the Slimer! short "The Not-So-Great Outdoors", when two talking rabbits eat a bunch of Slimer's dehydrated food pills. It turned out they were very spicy and then ran to drink from a river, making them inflate very quickly until they exploded. Naturally, in the very next take, they were perfectly fine. | |

1000 Ways to Die: A bulimic model dies this way in one episode. Another episode had an imprisoned terrorist who starved himself so he would be thin enough to slip through the bars. He then pigged out at a celebratory feast and died of refeeding syndrome (see Real Life below). A third episode called Corset Killed Him has a dancer die because he's gotten too fat and breaks his ribs when he tries to corset himself thin. |

His profile states that he won a Thanksgiving dinner for twelve at an auction, they arrived to the dinner alone and demanded to be served the entire meal.

Judge Dredd: Competitive eating is a very popular type of competition in Mega-City One, performed by the settings iconic "Fatties"; civilians so grossly overweight that the biggest require support wheels for their guts and butts to get around properly. While advanced medical science prevents them from dying from obesity-related reasons, this trope still happens on occasion, the most famous example being a high-ranked Pro Fattie who ate the furniture in his apartment after taking an appetite-increasing drug, dying from his stomach rupturing afterwards. Another example is one Fattie who choked to death while trying (and succeeding) to become the worlds first One-Ton Man. | |

Narrowly averted by Beelzemon in Digimon Tamers, who spends most of his tenure as Arc Villain eating virtually every single Digimon he can find to increase his power. By the climax of his final showdown with the heroes, he's been overeating to such a degree that upon eating Taomon and Rapidmon's data, parts of their bodies burst out of him in the digital equivalent of his stomach bursting open, nearly killing him before he manages to force them back in. | |

Yakon from Dragon Ball Z dies when eating too much of Goku's Super Saiyan energy. In a bit of a twist on the trope, Yakon didn't so much eat himself to death as Goku took advantage of how Yakon was consuming his energy by drastically increasing how much energy he was outputting, overloading Yakon all at once. | |

Kamen Rider Double does this in a somewhat more metaphorical way with Arc Villain Shinkuro Isaka, who represents the sin of gluttony among the theming of the show's villains. In addition to his enormous appetite for food, Isaka devours other superpowers by using people as incubators so that he can add them to his already lottery-winning power to control the weather. When his primary power is destroyed, however, he can no longer control the other powers he absorbed, which quickly devour him alive. | |
