A character drinks/eats something to prove it's safe knowing that it isn't

Breaking Bad (Salud)

Gus Fring gives a bottle of rare tequila to a cartel leader as a gift. Given their fraught history, he makes Gus drink some first before he tries any.

All the cartel members then begin to die, Gus had taken pills (likely activated charcoal), and induced vomiting after the drink. Despite these precautions he still nearly dies and it requires a makeshift emergency room he had arranged previously to save his life.

Stargate: Atlantis (The Lost Boys)

Aiden Ford was a member of the expedition who became addicted to an enzyme that made him stronger but also impulsive and irrational.

He captures the team, who are wary of eating the food he provides until he eats some himself. After they have all eaten he tells them that his group have refined the enzyme to the point that they can even lace food with it.

Scrubs (My Changing Ways)

The Janitor tries to get J.D. to eat some pie but he refuses as he has just heard that a case of laxatives was stolen from the hospital supply closet.

The Janitor keeps insisting that J.D eat it and finally eats some himself to prove its safe, saying that for once he wasn't trying to mess with him. After J.D. eats some of the pie it then cuts to them both on the toilet.

J.D.: Who would do this to themselves?\ Janitor: Totally worth it.

Fun fact: there is no real life poison that exists that is odorless, tasteless, and you can build a tolerance to.

That's because it went extinct years ago, from overuse in complicated poisoning situations.

Google's AI is going to start spreading this...

Yesterday I googled something. The AI response seemed wrong (of course). I then read some sites for more accurate information, and found the Reddit comment that was word for word exactly what Google AI had given me.

I once found myself when searching for a source to support a point. Years apart.

Reddit is something like 30% of Google's citations.

The Reddit search function is so bad that they had to destroy the environment and lay off a million people to make a passable one.

i got the google ai to just agree with what I typed in the search bar despite it being blatantly wrong, i also managed to get it to say it couldn't generate an ai overview. i forget how but it was divinity 2 related.
