What does every moderately wealthy person need to have these days? Certainly, a swimming pool is often on the list. But if you're really rich then why fill it with plain, boring old water? Why not gelatin, or pudding, or booze? The real reason is that most consumables would clog up the filters that pools use to keep the water clean and you can't really swim that easily in something like gelatin. Of course, it doesn't have to be an Olympic-sized pool. There are always jacuzzis and kiddie pools. One doesn't even have to be that wealthy that way. Sub-Trope of Conspicuous Consumption and Unconventional Food Usage. Compare Pooled Funds when the pool is full of currency instead, and Foul Ball Pit when a pool is full of plastic balls and likely contains excreted food (feces, urine, vomit). Tomato Skunk Stink Cure could be considered an occasional subtrope. A Don't Eat and Swim reminder may or may not be required. Food used this way that looks good would be Food Porn as well. Note: "Grub" as in the slang term for food, not the insect, although one video game has filled a pool with that particular insect as well.note In Half-Life 2 Episode 2, Chapter "This Vortal Coil'', Gordon discovers the larvae in the mines and underground nests of the antlion species. Called grubs by other characters, once squished, they emit a health-enhancing pellet. As Gordon goes deeper into the caves in order to procure a specific form of larva extract, he comes across an area that has an antlion guard. Seeking refuge from the constant harassment, this inner nest akin to an ant colony, has passageways etched into stone by the antlion workers and coated with an organic substance, filled with the health palette dispensing larvae. The sound effects of walking in them even resemble a sort of viscous liquid. |

The Gruen Transfer had a field day pulling apart, analysing and mocking a MILO ad that showed a couple sitting in a hot tun filled with the drink (see Advertising above). Of particular hilarity was a Freeze-Frame Bonus that showed the hot tub full of MILO was listed as a 'serving suggestion'. At the end of the episode, Wil pulls out two huge buckets of MILO and announces he is going upstairs to Ita Buttrose (the chairperson of The ABC)'s private spa. | |

The Simpsons: In the B-plot of "Bye-Bye Nerdie", Homer becomes a baby-proofer. During the montage of him protecting the babies of Springfield, he fills Dr. Hibbert's pool with Jell-O to prevent his infant son from falling in and drowning. When Dr. Hibbert comes outside, Homer scoops up some of the Jell-O with a champagne glass, tops it with whipped cream, and gives it to Dr. Hibbert. | |

American Dad!: In one episode, Steve briefly becomes fantastically wealthy and fills a pool with jello...into which Roger shoves Steve's lookalike, causing him to asphyxiate. Played for Horror in "The American Dad After School Special" when Stan unknowingly contracts anorexia. He fools the family that he's properly eating the food on this plate by disposing most of it in the family pool and keeping it covered up so nobody would see it. Francine only discovers it when she gets knocked into the pool and just barely manages to get out before she gets covered up by the automated cover. |

What If? For Free Fall, Randall assumes that there's a pit at the bottom of the cliff filled with something to safely break one's fall, like cotton candy. In Lake Tea, Alex asks how strong would a tea made from dumping all the world's tea into the Great Lakes be. "Weak, bordering on homeopathic.", answers Randall. He concludes, however, that by dumping 2700 tons of tea into Frying Pan Lake when it's particularly hot, one could brew a year's worth of tea in minutes. |

An iconic scene from every version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the chocolate river, which Willy Wonka claims is a key part of the mixing process. In a bit of a subversion though, Wonka gets angry when somebody dips his hands in it and falls in, but has no problem running a boat on it. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy: In the late-series episode "All Eds Are Off", Ed drops his box of instant gravy mix in the community swimming pool, turning the water into gravy. The tub in Ed's room is often filled with gravy. In the episode "Knock Knock Who's Ed?", the Eds try making a pool full of lime-flavored gelatin Unfortunately, it seems that Edd has underestimated the viscosity of the gelatin, and the pool is simply a large, quivering mound of the stuff. To make matters worse, Ed drinks the pool, leaving him and his friends scamless. |
