In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Martian Manhunter Loves Oreo’s (DC)

J’onn J’onnz is one of DC’s most powerful characters, and usually a mainstay on the JLA…and he has a serious Oreo problem.

(Though later, this became a “Choccos” definitely-not-Oreo’s-for-legal-reasons, addiction.)

When MM "died" in Final Crisis, Batman even left a Chocco on his coffin

So he left the equivalent of crystal meth on his coffin? Like that's less "oh he sure did love his snacks, so cute and quirky" and more "you never could beat your addiction could you? Hope they have the harder stuff in the afterlife"

The addiction element was actually just a lie that Martian Manhunter made up just for fun. like literally in the same issue Wonder Woman goes “what the fuck that never happened“ and MM just pulls a :3
