Alice wants something she shouldn't have. Knowing this, somebody else responds by giving it to her, as much or as frequently as she wants, to the point where she can't stand it anymore and voluntarily refuses it. An Aesop is had by all. This trope is named for a Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle story about a little girl who hates taking baths. Her family lets her go unbathed for quite some time (maybe a week, but don't think about it too hard). Eventually, she is covered in a layer of dirt thick enough that her parents secretly plant radish seeds there. The seeds sprout in a day or two, and when the girl sees them, a Freak Out ensues. She screams for a bath, her parents have her take a shower instead, which she willingly stays in for hours until she is spotless, and she never wants to go without her nightly bath again. This seems particularly common in kids' stories where the moral is "your parents know best, and they really do love you, even when they don't give you what you want." A once-common subtrope of this, now a Dead Horse Trope, is parents who catch their kids with cigarettes forcing them to smoke a whole carton, which will make them so sick they'll never want to touch a cigarette again. Compare Be Careful What You Wish For, Exact Words, Literal Genie, and Reverse Psychology. Can overlap with Jackass Genie on the parents' part if they fulfill the child's wish by giving them only the negative aspects of what they want, without any of the good. It also can overlap with Behavioral Conditioning, as several examples are a form of aversion therapy. If the child's punishment is essentially self-inflicted (i.e. they steal the Forbidden Fruit and experience its unpleasant consequences), it becomes a case of The Punishment Is the Crime. Could lead to May It Never Happen Again. Definitely Truth in Television, as many a parent has managed to give his beer-craving teenage son a disgustingly warm beer. Accordingly, this trope can often be averted in real life too; for some, no excess amount of their favourite food or beverage will ever be enough to make them go off it. One should note that beyond the obvious health risks involved, on a purely educational level this method can quickly become a Broken Aesop. When your kid asks for chocolate and you reply by saying he'll never be allowed to eat anything else again, you're pretty obviously not giving him "what he wanted", you're just being mean. |

Matilda subverts this after the exaggeratedly cruel headmistress Agatha Trunchbull catches Bruce Bogtrotter stealing cake and forces him to eat a entire cake in front of the rest of the school. Though little Brucie initially hesitates after figuring out what the punishment is, he ends up willingly finishing the whole thing as a middle finger to Trunchbull, while his schoolmates cheer him on. It helps that he's fat and thus used to eating a lot. | |

In The Cosby Show, Rudy complains about not being allowed to stay up late. Her parents, Cliff and Clair, agree to let Rudy stay up as late as she likes. The result is a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome where she spends the next day at school falling Asleep in Class and unable to pay attention because she didn't get enough sleep, which gets her in trouble at school. As a result, Rudy starts going to bed on time. | |

Strega Nona is a Sorcerer's Apprentice Plot starring the titular grandmotherly witch and her magic pot that produces pasta on command. The apprentice in question, Big Anthony, finds out what the pasta pot can do and wants to impress the villagers, so while Strega Nona is out, he says the magic words to produce the pasta and shares it with everyone. However, he doesn't know that he has to blow three kisses to make the pasta pot stop making pasta. His punishment for having flooded the entire village with pasta is having to eat all of it. He got off lucky since the angry villagers wanted to hang him with the pasta instead. | |

There's a children's book called The Chocolate Touch based on the legend of King Midas where a boy who eats too much candy unwittingly buys a magic chocolate from The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday. After he eats it, everything he puts into his mouth turns to chocolate, making him thirsty and sick and ruining some possessions, like his trumpet. Finally he accidentally turns his mother into a chocolate statue by kissing her on the cheek, runs back to the shop's proprietor and tells him he's learned the error of his ways, and is allowed a Reset Button. | |

In The Baby-Sitters Club, Stacey uses this among other Reverse Psychology techniques when she first sits for the Delaney siblings. The kids are supposed to clean up their playroom, but they try to get out of it by claiming that they like a messy playroom. Stacey agrees that messy playrooms are better and starts pulling everything off the shelves, scattering art supplies, and generally trying to make the playroom as much of a mess as possible, until the kids stop her by admitting they don't like the mess and agreeing to clean it up. | |

Invoked, though not actually carried out, in Change 123. Hibiki and Mikiri, Motoko's more childish personalities, are messy and lazy, and when they are required to begin leading a day to day existence, they don't bother cleaning the apartment and eat junk food instead of cooking. Terhuaru scares them into starting by pointing out that if they continue living-off of junk food, they'll eventually get a stomach ache, and that an unclean apartment will eventually be filled with cockroaches. | |

The Simpsons: Homer Simpson had a literal Ironic Hell version of this as a punishment for his donut addiction, which was subverted when Hell ran out of donuts and he still asked for more. They also had an episode where Bart was storing ten thousand cartons of cigarettes for The Mafia, and Homer threatens to make Bart smoke each and every one of them. |

Thomas & Friends: Thomas And Friends S1 E3 "The Sad Story of Henry" combines this with Ironic Hell and The Punishment Is the Crime. Henry stops inside of a tunnel and refuses to move because he does not want the rain to spoil his new coat of paint which he is so proud of. After multiple attempts to force him out of the tunnel end in failure, his punishment is to be left right where he is. His rails are taken away and the tunnel is blocked up to leave him trapped and unable to do anything but sit and watch other trains go by. Sitting in the tunnel keeps people from looking at his paintjob and eventually spoils his paintjob anyway as he gets dirty. He eventually is let out in a later episode, having learned his lesson. | |

In the Trolls: The Beat Goes On! episode "Giggleyum", after Smidge's favorite flavor of cake frosting stops being made, she, Poppy, and Branch attempt to replicate it themselves but instead make the titular Giggleyum, which is so addictive that Sky Toronto's company soon becomes unable to keep up demand. Rather than let everyone know there's a shortage, Poppy lets the other Trolls keep eating the stuff until they get sick of it. | |

Another King Midas variation happened in an old Yogi Bear cartoon, where Yogi met a fairy godmother who would grant him a wish. Naturally, Yogi wished for "pic-a-nic" baskets, so she made it so everything he touched turned into one. Unfortunately, this led to Yogi eating so much that he got sick of them. Then it got worse; he accidentally turned Boo-Boo into a picnic basket (a walking, talking picnic basket), then the Ranger saw him with Boo-Boo and thought he had pilfered one, leading to another accident, with Yogi winding up with a walking, talking picnic basket that was angry at him. Fortunately, the fairy godmother found out what was going on and broke the spell; the Ranger punished Yogi by putting him in jail for two weeks, but Yogi didn't mind. At least that meant two weeks away from "pic-a-nic" baskets. | |

She forces Naruto to smoke an entire carton to make him sick and prevent him from ever smoking again.

King of the Hill: In the episode "Keeping Up with Our Joneses," Hank Hill made Bobby smoke a whole carton of cigarettes as punishment for catching him smoking. The plan backfired spectacularly; not only did Bobby end up hooked, but Hank and Peggy fell victim to their own past cigarette habits as well. In their addiction support group, Bobby mentions that he's been an addict since his dad "let" him smoke a whole carton, to horrified reactions. Hank tries to correct him, in that he made him smoke them as a punishment (though he doesn't mention that he was trying to punish Bobby for smoking in the first place), to even more horrified reactions. While attempting to use the Radish Cure on Bobby, Hank even bothered to correct him on how to hold the cigarette, stating there's a right way to do everything, even wrong things. |

Used in an old Disney cartoon, where Donald Duck catches Huey, Dewey, and Louie with a carton of cigars, and makes them smoke them all—only to find out they were a gift for him. Even more karmic because when he noticed them with the box he didn't even think of asking, he just went berserk, shoved the cigars into their mouths and lit up in a montage more befitting a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown (at one point a sick Huey even tried to drag himself away just for Donald to grab him by the ankle, drag him back into the room and give him another cigar). | |

Bread and Jam for Frances is right up there with Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle as the classic example of this trope. In this story, Frances the badger only wants to eat bread and jam, and is unwilling to try any other foods. Her parents decide to give her bread and jam for every meal, and while she's happy about it at first, she eventually gets tired of it and asks to try some spaghetti at one meal. The story ends with her bringing a lunch to school that consists of a wide variety of foods, with no jam to speak of. | |

In one episode of Chaotic Peyton tries to do this to himself in order to lose weight. Since whatever happens to his body on Chaotic and Perim doesn't affect his body on Earth (since humans on Chaotic and Perim are actually copies whose memories are transferred to the original when they return to Earth), he tries stuffing himself with food until he gets sick on Chaotic, in the hope that the memory of the experience will reduce his food cravings on Earth. It doesn't work. | |

In Mass Effect 3, if Wrex leads the krogan, he and "Eve," the first female of their species immune to the Genophage in generations, become close friends and, implicitly, romantic partners. "Eve" respects him, but also feels that he's too much of a Chivalrous Pervert and Dirty Old Man, and too excited at the prospect of fertilizing a bunch of newly-fertile krogan females after the Genophage is cured. If all goes well, then as of the Citadel DLC, she's dealing with this by encouraging star-struck lady krogan who want their first batches of new children fathered by the heroic savior of their race, and poor Wrex confides in Shepard that he's gotten sick and tired of having to sneak out of his own house through the bathroom to avoid them, and that even his alien biology is becoming exhausted and sore from all the breeding. | |

Used twice on Ranmaru in The Wallflower. His father, exasperated with his womanising and hoping to cement an Arranged Marriage, reminds him of when he was a child and loved pudding. So when young Ranmaru asked for a pudding bigger than his head, he got sick of it less than halfway through. With that anecdote in mind, the father starts sending Ranmaru from place to place full of women. Ranmaru refuses to back down, continuing to entertain all the women to the point of exhaustion. | |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Arguably, this could be Wonka's real thoughts behind the children meeting their various fates. They all were taken out of running when they went to steal or use something that clearly wasn't safe but they still wanted. In adaptations, Wonka seems decidedly unconcerned with rescuing or stopping the kids, so... | |

In one episode of M*A*S*H, Father Mulcahy cures a dog of its liquor stealing habits by giving the dog all the whiskey it can drink. One massive hangover later, and the dog refused to touch alcohol ever again. In another, Col. Potter tries assisting a patient contemplating suicide due to his wound disfiguring his face. When the patient gets to the knockout gas and angrily demands that he be left alone to die, Potter opens the valves and forces the mask onto the man, causing him to panic and back out (which was Potter's whole point: the soldier's desire to live was much stronger than his desire to die, he just needed to see it for himself). |

Little Princess: Zigzagged in "I Want Baked Beans", where Princess doesn't want to eat anything but baked beans so she's allowed to have only baked beans but eventually grows bored of them and wants other food... however, the adults imply that they weren't trying to invoke the trope and she could have just asked. Inverted in "I Don't Want Help", where Little Princess doesn't want something (namely any help) so the adults agree not to help her but then she realizes she needs help. |

Ghost Recon Wildlands offers a darker example of this technique. After capturing a Santa Blanca buchon noted for his heavy addiction to the cartel's cocaine, Bowman interrogates him by holding him at gunpoint and forcing him to snort lines of coke non-stop until he either cracks and gives up useful intel to further hurt the cartel, or inevitably dies of an overdose. While the buchon initially laughs this threat off, he eventually recognizes that his body can't handle any more and he gives in to the torture. | |

Done in The Great Brain is Back when Tom, in an experiment to find out why men smoke, gets caught smoking a cigarette in the barn. Papa tells him he may not smoke cigarettes outside, but he's free to have a pipe or cigar in the house anytime. Tom lasts about a few minutes before turning green, and when his girlfriend says she doesn't like the smell anyway, he concludes that men smoke in order to repel women. | |

In the picture book Gregory, the Terrible Eater, Gregory is a young goat who likes human food, but his parents are trying to get him to eat garbage. It works too well, and he starts eating everything in the house. So they go to the dump and bring home a huge meal for him: eight flat tires, a barber pole, a broken violin and half a car. He eats almost all of it, then gets a terrible tummy ache, tossing and turning all night. The next morning, he requests a reasonably sized breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, two pieces of wax paper and a glass of orange juice. | |

In the Little Women chapter "Experiments," Marmee lets her daughters go for a week without doing any chores. At first it's fun, but eventually boredom sets in, and then Marmee and housekeeper Hannah give the girls a taste of their own medicine by taking a day off too, leaving no one to do the necessary work around the house. Thus the sisters learn the value of balancing play with work – particularly Beth, whose pet canary dies because she neglected to feed it. | |

In an early episode of Malcolm in the Middle, Malcolm swears at his father, who is deeply hurt, and considers that it's hard to punish a child for swearing - 'if it was smoking I'd have him go through the whole pack until he was gasping for air'. This gives him an idea. Later, he hands Malcolm a long list of terms of abuse, and asks Malcolm to read everything on the list to 'the man who held you in his arms the moment you were born'. Malcolm gives up somewhere in the middle, but when Hal attempts to let him off, he quickly exclaims (not wishing to let Hal down again) that he can finish the whole list. He does. | |

They refuse to speak to her, be in the same room with her, or associate with her at all, until she is begging for their companionship again. In the episode "Greg Gets Grounded," Greg attempts Loophole Abuse when he's forbidden to drive the car for a week as a punishment, driving a friend's car instead. So Mike and Carol agree that from now on, Exact Words will be the rule. This means that Greg is forced to do every task he ever promises to do precisely when he says he'll do it – no putting it off till later or getting anyone else to do it for him. Naturally, this makes life harder for Greg and teaches him a lesson. |

In Numbers 11 of The Bible, the Israelites have had nothing to eat but manna since they were liberated from Egypt. They complain about this to God and have the nerve to suggest they had better food to eat in Egypt (as in, when they were slaves crying out to God to rescue them). God becomes so angry at them that He prescribes the following punishment: they shall indeed have meat. Lots of meat, and only meat, until it comes out of their nostrils and becomes loathsome to them. This ends up being subverted: before the complainers can even finish their first meal, they are struck dead by a plague. The message gets across loud and clear, regardless. | |

Ellen and Otis: In one chapter of Otis Spofford, Otis's teacher has him make spitballs exclusively as punishment for shooting them. Otis sees this as a Cool and Unusual Punishment at first, until he realizes that it prevents him from participating in class and also dries his mouth out once he's run out of spit. In her autobiography Cleary included a story about some boys who chewed garlic in class. The principal finally bought a dollar's worth of garlic—this was in the 1930s—and had them chew it all. |

Named for the classic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle example. In fact, all of the early Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories had this basic form, not just the Radish Cure one. Some other examples: A boy who doesn't want to clean his room is allowed to slack off on cleaning his room until his toys pile up so much that he can't leave his room at all and will miss seeing the circus if he doesn't get around to finally cleaning up. A boy who hates sharing his things with other children is given locks, labels, and paint that he can use to lock up or write his name and the message "DON'T TOUCH!" on all of his possessions, down to even his lunch food. This causes him to become a laughingstock among his peers who take all the "DON'T TOUCH!" messages as an invitation to touch, and he's eventually shamed into taking off all the messages. Three children who want to stay up well past their bedtime are allowed to do just that, which has the predictable outcome of them being too tired during the day to focus on or enjoy anything they do. The chapter ends with them practically begging their parents to let them go to bed on time. Two sisters are making their parents miserable by constantly bullying, arguing with, and yelling at each other. Mrs Piggle Wiggle instructs the parents to copy the girls' behavior so that they can see what it looks like. It doesn't take long for them to beg for their parents to stop fighting and promise to be nicer to each other. The plot outline changed a little after the author added magic powers to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's repertoire. For example, the Whisper Sticks - sweet candy canes given to two little girls who whisper incessantly, so that they can't do anything but whisper and end up in a huge fight. |

In Little Town on the Prairie, Miss Wilder attempts to employ this trope by commanding Carrie Ingalls and her seatmate to put their books away and rock their desk as punishment for rocking it while studying. It's mostly an effort to get at Laura by picking on her little sister, and it backfires dramatically (and awesomely) when Miss Wilder demands that sickly little Carrie, abandoned by her seatmate, continue to rock the desk by herself - Laura declares that she'll rock the desk if Miss Wilder wants it rocked, and she proceeds to do just that, so loudly that nobody in the entire schoolroom can hear the lesson. | |

Brewster's Millions (1985): A recently-deceased relative of the title character employs this trope in his will: Montgomery Brewster must spend $30 million within 30 days, in order to get his actual inheritance of $300 million. There are several catches, though: at month's end, he's not allowed to own any assets of any kind, he can't simply give money and/or valuables away (beyond the $1.5 million he's allowed to donate to charity, that is), he mustn't destroy anything that's inherently valuable, and the final catch that makes this Radish Cure truly work in the end—during the 30 day period, he's not allowed to tell anyone else why he's spending his $30 million so foolishly. The relative cites this trope as his motivation behind the will in the first place, since his father used the typical "letting your kid smoke... a whole heap of smokes all at once" tactic to prevent him from ever wanting to smoke. It might count as a deconstruction of the Radish Cure, though, as throughout the film Brewster 1) still wants the money and 2) has serious trouble trying to actually spend the amount without gaining assets (thus carrying out the terms of the cure). Even at the climax of the movie, when things are down to the wire, he still has $20,000 to spend.note Brewster arguably does not comply with the terms of the will; he's not allowed to own any assets of any kind, and he winds up with an asset in the form of future services owed to him. | |

The Family Guy episode "Trading Places" has Peter forcing Chris to smoke a whole carton of cigarettes, even though what he did was smash Peter's new motorcycle. Chris is reluctant at first but then starts enjoying the cigarettes. Made even funnier by Peter, apparently forgetting the purpose of the punishment, giving Chris advice on how to smoke more enjoyably. The gag would be repeated again in the British segment of "Family Guy Viewer Mail #2", only this time, it was a "carton of fags". At least in that segment, he was actually responding to Chris being caught smoking. During a group intervention to convince Quagmire's sister to leave her abusive fiancé, Peter did it again and tried making her smoke a whole carton of cigarettes. |

This is Nanny McPhee's stock in trade. When the kids don't want to stop making a mess of the kitchen and go to bed, she magics them into being unable to stop, which results in almost throwing the baby into the soup. She only breaks the spell when they beg her to. The next morning, they fake being sick to avoid having to get out of bed, so she traps them in their beds. Although really, this has less to do with instilling an aversion to the thing they want to do and more to do with scaring them into behaving by demonstrating her powers. | |

In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Inanna/Ishtar asks Gilgamesh to be her consort, but he refuses, citing what happened to pretty much all of her other boyfriends and husbands. Enraged, she runs to her daddy, Nanna the moon god, and asks for Gugalana, the Bull of Heaven. (Actually, the first husband of her older twin Ereshkigal. This becomes important later.) Nanna warns her that giving her the Bull of Heaven will cause a drought and says no, but Inanna/Ishtar pitches a fit, threatening to cause a Zombie Apocalypse if Gugalana is not given to her. Nanna gives in, and Enkidu and Gilgamesh destroy Gugalana. | |

In an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hilda develops a case of "Bat Breath", where every time she opens her mouth, bats fly out, from eating pomegrantes. Zelda soon develops a cure for Bat Breath, allowing Hilda to eat all the pomegranates she wants. At the end of the episode, she's eaten so much pomegranate that she doesn't want to eat it ever again. | |

In "Episode 83: 1943 Frankford Junction Wreck" of Well There's Your Problem, Liam talks about a time he managed to this to himself, with Alice also mentioning the "punish a child for smoking by making them smoke the whole pack" subtrope. When Liam turned 18, he decided to import a one-kilogram jar of Nutella for his birthday. He ate so much Nutella that he eventually got sick of it, to the point that even mentioning Nutella makes him queasy. | |
