Small children, the Cloudcuckoolander and The Ditz are prone to eating things that should not be eaten. Not necessarily a case of Extreme Omnivore, as it may just be this one specific non-food item that the character consumes. Most common in this category are glue, crayons, soap, bugs, and snot. If the child puts things in other facial orifices, it's a Nose Shove.

Comes up a couple of times in The Penguins of Madagascar. In "Sting Operation", Private spits bubbles and happily declares, "I ate soap!" while under the effects of Phlebotinum-Induced Stupidity. In "All King, No Kingdom", Maurice and Mort accidentally break Julien's throne:

A Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode had a man with pica (see the Real Life section below) as the perp. It was noted that pica on its own does not make someone dangerous, but because the Psychopathic Manchild in question had been licking the (illegally lead-based) paint off his toy cars from a young age, he had permanent brain damage.

The titular character in Tommy Boy is implied to have been this. His bizarre behavior prompts several characters ask him if he ate paint chips as a kid, to which Tommy would just giggle and ask why.

In Homestuck, the Wayward Vagabond compulsively eats any green things he can find. Examples include two pieces of green chalk, a chunk of radioactive material, and the Uberbunny's eye.
Terezi doesn't necessarily EAT chalk, but she licks them until they are no longer.

In The Powerpuff Girls (1998), the girls have a classmate named Elmer Sglue, who was ridiculed (especially by Buttercup) for eating paste. A fly tainted by toxic waste fell into the paste he was eating, turning him into a giant paste monster who wreaked havoc on the city.

Played for drama in Barry Louis Polisar's "I Am Very Sad To Say That Cindy Won't Be Out To Play", where the eponymous Cindy dies after eating the fishes from the bowl, sandstones, some plants, a hose and a clamp (among other things) while her parents are away. The moral of the story is to wait for your folks to come home when you're hungry instead of eating everything in sight.

In an episode of Gilligan's Island, the castaways are forced to eat their homemade soap to cure themselves of radioactive vegetables. They don't enjoy the taste, but Gilligan later says that it wasn't so bad once you got used to it and sneaks another piece.

During the Portal 2 video of Two Best Friends Play, Pat accuses Matt of doing this. Matt's only response is that it's "getting a little personal". In the animated version where they're replaced with Celestia and Luna, it cuts to Luna who is indeed in the middle of eating those when she says that line.

The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks: The plants eat socks, of course (though they also like orange juice), with their favorites being fudge ripple (white with brown stripes), though they also like white (vanilla), pink (strawberry) and brown (chocolate). It's later revealed that their prehistoric ancestors ate bugs, but Stanley and Fluffy don't care for them.
