Line 57:
* In somewhat of a subversion, in a later ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' sequel, Arthur Dent eats the least hairy things in his fridge after returning to Earth after a long expedition in space, thus killing a disease which would have otherwise wiped out half a hemisphere.
* As with [[Trope Overdosed|so many other tropes]], this one is represented multiple times in ''[[Discworld]]''.
** In ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'', Susan Sto-Helit conducts a forensic examination of the contents of a bag left hanging outside the window in winter (Discworld's low-tech, cut-rate version of refrigeration). "Now look at this. Leathery bacon, green bread, and a piece of cheese you could shave. She hasn't been here in some time, believe me."
** In ''Witches Abroad'', Granny Weatherwax visits a neglected old granny (not a witch) and finds some milk in her kitchen that "ought to be allowed to vote". Om makes a similar comment about milk served in a Philosopher's bar.
