Berry Crushing

In the anime

Whenever an episode features berries, such as The Lotad Lowdown, or Berry, Berry Interesting, a character may come across this berry and decide to eat it. They instead experience its intense spiciness, and may end up with swollen lips for a while.

In Shocks and Bonds Brock says that an Ace Trainer named Katie who battled Ash in the Hoenn League likes Tamato Berries in her Spaghetti.

In Double- Time Battle Training!, Candice states that a treat called the Snowpoint Tamato Berry Ice Cream Bar which had cold Ice Cream outside and spicy Tamato Berry Jelly on the inside which Ash accidently ate whole and which Dawn based her Daybreak Town Appeals on.
