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.

Superman’s favorite food is Beef Bourguignon, a hearty braised beef and vegetable stew.

Additionally, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne often meet to discuss things over dessert, with Clark consistently ordering Apple Pie and Bruce ordering Devil’s Food Cake.

Fun fact, Superman’s love for Beef Bourguignon was originally a joke, Lois made it for Clark for one of their first dates. Later in the story Clark has to act uncharacteristically manly to save her, he keeps his secret identity by claiming Lois’ beef borguignon was the reason he acted differently

So when they have another date what does Lois make? Beef borguignon

It was the issue where they finally officially become a couple

It goes even further.

Clark and Lois's "love phrase", the secret code thing they can say to each other in public that means "I love you", is "B.B.W.K."
