I have a few (real and fictional). I'm leaving off the TV show/movie so you can guess.

Cheesy Poofs
Grape Nehi (Hint: pronounced 'knee-high')
Lollipop
Adam's Ribs
Coors Beer
Martini (shaken not stirred)

Well, did I get 3 out of six...?

Grape Nehi is M*A*S*H

Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

(Picard's usual beverage on Star Trek TNG, ordered to a computer which replicated it. At the time of first airing, this order caused some conversation on the trek newsgroup, because by Picard's time he would just say the more natural "hot Earl Grey tea" and not have to construct a downward heirarchy for a dumber computer.)

So is Adam's Ribs ... wasn't that the rib place in Chicago that Hawkeye wanted ribs from?

Some foods are not enhanced by such associations.

Stand By Me and blueberry pie, for example.

I am quite ashamed that I did not mention that one. It was one of my favorite shows.

And then, of course, there is one show that was about nothing, but, apparently, food ...

Chocolate Babka

Grape Nehi: Actual beverage in the South. I run into it upon occasion. As noted, Radar's beverage of choice.

Coors: Smokey and the Bandit.

I think I'll expound on proper Philly cheesesteaks in a separate thread...

Good luck with that, grasshopper. I've tried to get the Phluffian's to see reason on the cheesesteak thing, but they resist. The are very territorial about it.

Damn tootin'. I was back in Fluffya a couple of weekends back for Anthrocon and one of the first things I did was score a decent cheesesteak from one of the Drexel gut trucks (they DO have good cheesesteaks there...)

In fact, my LJ has an extensive trip report:
