Mining seems to be a bit romanticized in fiction, from the idea of being able to strike it rich with one lucky stroke, to the horror of thinking that you might have to stay the rest of your life inside a mine working for an evil overlord. Since mining seems to be so interesting, any resource the characters need will be mined from the ground. Any resource. A Comedy Trope in which an off-beat setting includes mines, wells or springs for substances that do not actually occur naturally in the Earth's crust (but that do exist; Unobtainium mines don't count. Neither do mines that are named after something abnormal, but are still normal mineral mines.) Foodstuffs are particularly common. If the entire landscape is built of food, it's Level Ate. Compare to Grows on Trees. Also compare All-Natural Gem Polish, where the items are something that you can actually mine for (gems) but they don't come out of the mine looking like they would in reality. |

Scribblenauts Unlimited: in the "Kana Craters" stage, which is set on the moon, Maxwell encounters a mouse who is convinced the moon contains cheese and asks for a tool to mine for it. If Maxwell gives the mouse a useful tool, like a pickaxe, the mouse will indeed strike cheese, earning Maxwell the Moon Gold shard. | |

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: In a scene that has since been cut from the original television airing, Yukon Cornelius tests the ground around Santa's Workshop with his pickaxe and finds an underground peppermint mine. He then reveals that the peppermint is actually what he's been searching for (not silver and gold like he originally thought), which explains why he licks his pickaxe after testing the ground. | |

Bread & Fred: Justified. After the incident—presumably, a human-provoked, massive landslide—, a certain region of the mountain gets filled to the rim with fish that then either froze over or got superficially buried in the soil. The penguins then did a bit of engineering to be able to extract it and feed the town with it. | |

Bleak Expectations: Underneath St. Bastards is a vast salt and pepper mine, which the unlucky students are forced to work in, overseen by hussars to stop them escaping. Of course, as is a known fact of Victorian science, the salt and pepper must be kept separate, lest they explode and take out the mine and the school above it. Harry Biscuit devises a plan to mine for jam and custard, until the logic of Geo-Pavlovoism. In a visit to France, it turns out they have cheese mines. Brie, to be precise. Apparently workplace disasters are common, but the foremen don't care, since being swept away by cheese is every Frenchman's dream. |

Looney Tunes: Subverted in "Lumber Jack-Rabbit", Bugs Bunny thinks he found a "carrot mine" and proceeds to dig through. Actually, he stumbled upon Paul Bunyan's garden, and those were just normal-sized carrots to a giant. At the end of the "Oily Hare" short, a Texas oilman dynamites Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole in hopes of an oil gusher. But instead it ends up gushing carrots, obviously to Bugs' delight. |

Vimes is sent there to negotiate a trade package for raw fat that has been preserved underground so that Ankh-Morpork can make candles and soap and the like. It's speculated to be either the remains of the titular Fifth Elephant or the result of some cataclysm that buried many shaggy, blubbery megafauna all at once. | |

World of Warcraft In the Beta and early release there were reports of people occasionally mining clam meat from mineral veins. In Ice Crown, you can mine Saronite. This contains or possibly is entirely the blood of the Eldritch Abomination Yog-Saron, God of Death, drives people who mine it mad, and naturally forms into the shape of skulls when smelted. |

Discworld: Treacle mines are mentioned in several books, and Treacle Mine Road is a location in Ankh-Morpork. Terry Pratchett actually goes into a bit of detail as to how these occurred; the treacle seams are made of fossilised sugar cane. The Discworld Companion says that there were also treacle deposits under Genua, but the heat and moisture transformed them into rum springs. Much of The Fifth Elephant revolves around, and takes place in, the "fat mines" of Uberwald. Vimes is sent there to negotiate a trade package for raw fat that has been preserved underground so that Ankh-Morpork can make candles and soap and the like. It's speculated to be either the remains of the titular Fifth Elephant or the result of some cataclysm that buried many shaggy, blubbery megafauna all at once. Llamedos (the Disc's equivalent of Wales) apparently has rain mines. |

This gag appeared a few times in The Simpsons comics. When Bart gets Principle Skinner deported to Canada with fraudulent paperwork, Skinner ends up having to escape forced labor in the Maple Syrup mines. When the town splits, with Lower Springfield taking the water supply with them, the affluent Upper Springfielder start deliriously talking about Lower Springfilders enslaving them to work in their water mines. The Greek poet Homer (as played by Homer Simpson) claims to have faked blindness to get out of being a slave in the olive mines. |

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: When the Dormouse tells a story about three sisters who lived at the bottom of a well and lived on treacle, Alice asks "Why did they live at the bottom of a well?" and he replies "It was a treacle well." This is a play on words: before it meant "molasses," the word "treacle" meant "medicine," so a "treacle well" was a well with allegedly healing waters, but Carroll imagines it here as a well full of treacle instead of water. Discussed when Alice asks if mustard is a mineral, the Duchess says that it is and that there's a mustard mine nearby. Upon hearing this, Alice realises that it actually isn't a mineral and tries to correct the Duchess but she won't listen. |

Glitter is explained as coming up from beneath the earth, in the form of magma, to the surface where it cools. It even has a "fool's" variant, discernible by the fact that it doesn't stick to skin at all, unlike authentic glitter which clings for at least three days. | |

The main setting of Jelly Jamm is Planet Jammbo, the source of all the music in the universe. According to the explanation the planet's Queen gives to Bello about how her castle's music factory works, the music is apparently a mineral that is mined from underground and then refined in the factory before eventually being converted into bubbles that float in the sky and off into space. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: One of the many things the captain of the Golgafrinchan B-Ark looks forward to is a hot spring to warm his bath with, preferably one in a nice leafy glade with a nearby soap mine. His response to anyone who doesn't think that soap can be mined is that perhaps no-one has looked hard enough, a possibility that is "reluctantly acknowledged". | |

Codename: Kids Next Door: In "Operation: P.O.O.L.", the villain often threatens to send people to work in the broccoli mines. "Operation N.U.G.G.E.T." is a Cowboy Episode where kids pans a river for chicken nuggets instead of gold nuggets. It may or may not have been a dream. In "Operation: R.E.C.E.S.S.", salad oil is discovered under the school playground and so the adults transform the playground into an oil field and force the kids to work there during recess. After the KND sabotage the adult's plans to sell the oil, the playground is returned to normal, but then they strike prune juice. And in a similar fashion, "Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R." features adults extracting coffee on an off-shore rig as if it were oil. |

In Cookie Clicker, you can procure cookies in many absurd ways. Mining is one of the earlier options. Although the game suggests the planet is composed at least partially of cookie dough. | |

In Kingdom of Loathing and Spin-Off West of Loathing, meat (in the form of sirloin steaks) is both mined and chopped off of monsters. KoL players can also dig up things like cardboard, bubble wrap, and Velcro ore. WoL also has soup wells (presumably from hot springs boiling said meat into stew). While meat is used as money, the soup really is eaten. | |
