Earth is not the center of the universe, but nonetheless it is special—we have a precious commodity. No, not our nubile Earth women, no matter how easy they may be. Something better. Snacks. Turns out, our common comestible X is an Impossibly Delicious Food to aliens, who go to absurd lengths to acquire it. UFOs are smuggling candy past border checks. Alien abductions happen because humans might have Hershey bars in their pockets. Cattle mutilations? Aliens will NOT give up until they figure out how to extract chocolate milk. Chocolate is a common target, but almost any Earth snack food can be used here. Chocolate (or other snack foods) might be a Power-Up Food to the aliens, but if they need it to power their spaceships, it's What Do You Mean, It's Phlebotinum?. Often the result of Aliens Love Human Food whereby said aliens then focus on a specific food. Related to Alien Catnip, Alien Arts Are Appreciated, No Biochemical Barriers. Compare Trademark Favorite Food, Spice of Life, I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!, One Man's Trash Is Another's Treasure, Mundane Object Amazement, and Far-Out Foreigner's Favorite Food. Might overlap with Mascots Love Sugar if the alien in question is a cute critter or the Team Pet. Not to be redundant, this has nothing to do with the nougat bar and the confectionery company making said nougat bar. |

In Megas XLR, Earth is apparently renowned throughout the universe for the snacks and beverages available at convenience stores, and extraterrestrials with Earth currency frequently visit incognito to purchase them if they're passing near Earth. | |

This is how SG-1 manages to open trade with the Tollan in XSGCOM. Earth doesn't really have anything that the Tollan want, until someone makes an off-hand comment about how the first global trading empires on Earth were built around spices and luxury foods. SG-1 decides to send a few crates of various spices, wines and sweets through, and distributes chocolate bars to a class of school kids as a goodwill gesture. The kids' reactions are enough to get a number of enterprising parents to start lobbying for a trade agreement as soon as possible. | |

In Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. the Voodoo Vultures from Venus, it's established that due to how hot Venus is, food usually melts before one can eat it without making a mess, so the eponymous vultures decide to invade Earth, "where the eatin' was good". They then manage to hypnotize everyone in the town of Squeakyville into giving them food. | |

After E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial gave them the best advertising they ever could have wanted, Reese's Pieces ran an advertising campaign for years featuring an alien "little blue guy with big ears'' who would come to Earth in search of Reese's Pieces. Back issues of comic books from the early to mid-Eighties are likely to feature print ads with the character. | |

In one Calvin and Hobbes comic, Calvin disguises himself as an alien by styling his hair and wearing a visor. In another one, he hides under a cardboard box and pretends to be a robot from Jupiter. |

Supernatural: Downplayed, where the Grim Reaper (who notes that he does visit alien planets) decides to ignore Lucifer's orders to wipe Chicago off the map and killing millions more during the Apocalypse. One of the reasons he gives for this is that he likes the city's pizza—this Death is a fast food junkie. | |

In the Young Wizards series, chocolate has a variety of effects on different alien species: it acts as a drug for some, but others just like how it tastes. It's also the real reason UFOs visit Earth. In the eighth book, Carmela forces an entire battalion of aliens to back down by threatening them with a wrapped chocolate bar. | |

In Animorphs, a Running Gag is that Ax, or any other Andalite who morphs into a human, becomes a Sense Freak due to suddenly having taste. Though chocolate is on Ax's list of favorite foods (along with motor oil and cigarette butts), his Trademark Favorite Food is cinnamon buns, and he imagines that one day other Andalites will come to Earth just to try them. Sure enough, the last book mentions that Cinnabon may be opening a branch on the Andalite homeworld soon. | |

In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! the Pirates of Ipecac come to Earth looking for caramel — not to eat it, but as a necessary part of a super weapon. Not realizing their reasons for wanting it, Bob gives them a bag of caramels, and Hilarity Ensues. On the other hand, aliens and other exotic beings all seem very fond of Bob's homemade cheesecake. Voluptua also liked a cheeseburger when she tried it. |
