Colonel Kernel's Classic Creamed Corn
"Colonel Kernel's Classic Creamed Corn" is a food item that first and only appeared in the episode "Rose's Room".

Kernel's Creamed Corn" and pictures a smiling, mustached corn shoot donning a brown top hat, mauve taupe bow tie, and monocle. This mascot is shown saying the words, "It's creamtastic!" next to an orange bowl filled with creamed corn. The corn itself is creamy yellow and submerged in a buttery sauce.

Trivia

 * Colonel Kernel is likely based on advertising icons such as Mr. Peanut, Colonel Sanders, and/or Orville Redenbacher.

 * Colonel Kernel's Classic Creamed Corn is shown by Steven to give people digestion issues.

Dog-Nut
The "Dog-Nut" is a food item served at the Big Donut. It consists of a hot-dog inserted through the centers of three frosted doughnuts with a mustard drizzle on top.

Appearances
It is first seen in the Pilot, as Lars offers one to Steven. It later appears on a poster in "Lion 3: Straight to Video", as well as in "Shirt Club".

Trivia

 * This is a reference to Ian Jones-Quartey's show, Lakewood Plaza Turbo, as a Dog-Nut poster is seen inside a market in the show.

Durian Juice
"Durian Juice" is a beverage that first appeared in "An Indirect Kiss".

Appearance
It is a beverage in a green cardboard container with a durian depicted in the middle and the word "DURIAN" in red font and outlined in yellow below it.

"An Indirect Kiss"
The drink was brought to a picnic between Steven and Connie at the lighthouse atop the temple. After Connie drank out of the box Steven was drinking out of, her eyes were healed from Steven's spit on the straw.

"Steven's Birthday"
Steven gives the juice to Connie at his birthday party, and they proceeded to toast using the drink.

Trivia

 * The juice box straw had Steven's magic healing saliva on it, which healed Connie's vision problem when she took a sip of it.

 * Durians are large spiny fruits found in Southeast Asia. Once cut open, the buttery, fleshy fruit lying within the spiny shell releases a pungent odor.
 * It has been described as the world's stinkiest fruit.
 * The text of the word Durian is aesthetically similar to fruit company Dole.

Fire Salt
"Fire Salt" is a magical seasoning containing unknown ingredients, first used by Amethyst to prank Steven in "Joking Victim". Later in the episode, Steven and Sadie used it to prank and get revenge on Lars for lying about his back injury and skipping his shifts at the Big Donut.

Appearance
Fire Salt is an edible mix of many types of magical red powders and is held in a translucent, reddish pink-colored tube with a red crystalline stopper.

Effects
Fire salt causes a burning sensation when consumed, with varying effects depending on the amount ingested. A small amount would cause an extremely intense spicy flavor, but if too much is eaten, it can cause the consumer to spew fire from their mouth. It is difficult to stop the person from spontaneous oral combustion, as when Lars consumed a large amount of fire salt and ran through a giant bowl of ice cream, the flames coming from his mouth were still not extinguished. It was only when the fire salt-covered doughnut was removed did the fire stop.

Pure Gems seem to be immune to the effects of the fire salt as Amethyst is seen enjoying her "special fries" throughout the episode but remains unaffected, but humans and half-human Gems, like Steven, are still able to feel the effects.

Trivia

 * In the Steven Universe comic Issue 6, Amethyst used fire salt to win a hot dog eating competition by "spiking" the other contestants' hot dogs with it, which was cheating.
 * It is unknown from where or who Amethyst acquired the Fire Salt from.
 * The fire salt also appears in the RPG Attack the Light as a usable item. It makes all the attacks of the selected Gem burn their enemies.

Hynes Ketchup

No brand name is evident, which may indicate that it is a generic brand.

"Tiger Millionaire"
Steven uses this canister of margarine as a gel to style his hair down in order to create his wrestling alter ego, Tiger Millionaire

Trivia

 * Colloquially in the U.S, the term margarine is used to describe "non-dairy spreads" like "Country Crock" and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!", with varying amounts of fat content that is usually plant-based. It is an alternative to butter.
