So let's say you're a kid (or even an adult), and you really like Cupio Bars. You'd eat them for every meal if you could — but your parent(s)/guardian(s)/spouse won't let you. They insist that you have a varied diet with a base of four food groups (and not one of them is the kind you'd like to be considered part of the base). You are allowed some Cupio Bars for a treat, but your consumption of them is limited. And even worse, they're keeping a whole supply of Cupio Bars around and you are not allowed to have any without their permission. So what do you do to sate your craving without getting in trouble? You wait until they're asleep or busy, or otherwise presumably unable to catch you in the act of sneaking snacks! The particular snack being snuck can be anything, as long as it is made clear that the Sneaker really wants it, so much that they're willing to risk getting in trouble in order to attain it illicitly. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sometimes, the kid manages to get away with it. However, more often than not, the child is caught by their parent/guardian and punished. In this case, An Aesop about the immorality of stealing and violating parental trust usually follows. If it is an Adult Child, it is even more likely that (s)he will be caught because no matter how much comedic potential a scenario involving an actual kid doing this has, it can't be nearly as funny as an adult behaving like a naughty child and being caught in the act by an angry authority/parental figure. For added comedy points, the Sneaker may be punished or reprimanded in the same way an actual child would be. For adult cases, contrast Troubling Unchildlike Behavior, where a child is trying out disturbing things associated with older ages. Contrast Discreet Dining Disposal, when someone is eagerly given a food item and it's one of the last things they'd eat. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Trust us, we all know how prevalent this is. Anyone who claims that they never did this is most likely either lying or else their family didn't have any desirable foods in the house. Therefore, please don't post any Real Life examples unless they're especially interesting and aren't repetitions of examples already posted in the media namespaces. Examples: |

In The Penguins of Madagascar episode "Skorca!", Private is on lookout duty and is warned not to eat sugary snacks. He brings along a box of peanut butter Winkies, assuming that he can restrain himself. He eats the whole box and goes on a sugar high, during which he sees a giant killer whale flying through the streets (actually a balloon float), which the others dismiss as a Winky-induced hallucination. | |

In Mort, the wizard Cutangle acts guilty when he's found raiding the castle pantry in the middle of the night, even though there's no indication he's not allowed to, and all he found was half a jar of mayo, some very old cheese, and a mouldy tomato. (If he'd gone during the day, it would have been filled with vast amounts of meat and fish, but the Theory of Narrative Causality says that when you raid a pantry in the middle of the night, that's what you find.) | |

The punishment that the Trunchbull deals to Bruce Bogtrotter for supposedly stealing a slice of her chocolate cake in Matilda is used to show just how sadistic she is to great effect. She schedules an assembly during which she sits Bruce down at a table and puts the rest of the cake in front of him for him to eat. Poor Bruce is expected to eat that 18-inches-in-diameter monstrosity in its entirety, even if he gets sick. And every child attending Crunchem Hall is watching him eat and feeling sorry for him as they wait with bated breath for him to break down from the effects of forced over-eating. | |

In Cluedo, there were various incidents of people stealing food from Mrs White's kitchen, and being duly admonished. Professor Plum has his knuckles rapped by Mrs White, when he helps himself to a snack after using rat poison. A window cleaner helps himself to a sausage roll, to Mrs White's annoyance. In the same episode, Mrs Peacock admits to pinching one of Mrs White's delicious sausage rolls while confessing to the murder of the same window cleaner. |

The Simpsons: Homer does this sometimes, like the time he spent all night eating 64 slices of American cheese. Or in the Treehouse of Horror episode where he sold his soul for a donut - but the contract doesn't take effect until he eats the whole donut so he keeps the last bit in the fridge with a note: "Daddy's soul donut - do not eat." Then late at night he eats it. "Mmmmm, forbidden donut." In one episode, Comic Book Guy, a character who's gluttony sometimes overshadows even Homers, tries to sneak food into a movie theater. The ushers frisk him, and find he's got damn near half a fridge hidden in his clothes. He just disdainfully tells them they'll never find it all no matter how much they search him, and that he's "baking cupcakes as we speak". |

In the film version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the Weasley brothers notice a bowl full of baked goods on the table when they arrive home with Harry. Assuming their mother is asleep, they whisper to each other, "Let's sneak some" and do just that. However, their mother is indeed awake and she pops up out of nowhere and angrily asks them where they've been. Realizing that she's seen them holding the contraband snacks, the Weasley siblings guiltily put them away. However, she doesn't say anything about the snacks. Justified, however, because she was worried about their safety and the possibility that they would get in trouble with the Ministry of Magic, compared to which Sneaking Snacks is small potatoes by any standard. | |

There are references to this in Gaudy Night. Harriet is visiting her Oxford college and reminds a staff member that she recalls the woman's habit of leaving the buttery door unlocked at night. The woman indulgently smiles and notes that young women have healthy appetites. Later, the topic is mentioned again as a reason to initially dismiss the sounds of someone moving through the college after dark, thereby allowing some cover for the author of the poison pen letters and vandalism. |

Aunt Petunia insists that the entire family follow the diet so Dudley won't feel singled out, which Harry gets around by having his friends send him sweets and snacks and hiding them in his room. |

Tom thinks this is silly, so he sneaks out after lights-out weekly to buy candy bars from a local drugstore to sell to the other boys at the school for double price. Towards the end of the book he and the head priest have a conversation during which the priest explains why they have the ban. | |

Very darkly played out in Life As We Knew It. When Miranda, the heroine, goes into the pantry, she sees the bag of chocolate chips that she bought months earlier in there, she gives in to hunger as well as chocolate cravings and starts eating some. Her mother catches her and makes her eat the whole bag. Then she tells Miranda that she isn't allowed to eat for the next day or the day after that. The End of the World as We Know It has happened, though, and therefore, unauthorized sneaking of any kind of food cannot be condoned or encouraged if the family is going to survive. | |
