Hahaha, another thing to mention just for fun - back when I was in middle school I remember in English class we'd have reading sessions. I had the "Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter" book among other Goosebumps books at the time. This one girl asked if she could read it, and so I let her (though I felt really uncomfortable because even then I knew I had a female growth fetish).

It's a choose your own adventure book and you choose if you want to eat the purple peanut butter or the seemingly plain looking cake. The peanut butter shrinks you and the cake makes you grow (and it's a wonderfully slow growth process as well) and then you go through the day slowly shrinking or growing and then eventually have to figure out how to stop and reverse it, if you can make enough of the right decisions and survive to the end.

After she read the book I asked her what she chose to eat. In the story itself you don't know what the food does until you eat it unless you read the back cover, which I don't think she did. She said ate the peanut butter and eventually ends up dying when she ends up in the sewer or something lol. But I kept thinking about what if she ate the cake? Ah, slow growth process fantasies in the early years, eh?
