One of my favorite tropes in growth stories is the “accidental ingestion”. Perhaps the best example is Morpheus’ Stud Juice, wherein Nick leaves the extremely expensive and time-consuming alchemical formula he’s produced in a wine glass on the kitchen table, while he goes to make a phone call. His wife comes home, drinks the formula and soon she’s the one growing taller and sexier, while he stays the same.
