Also, in the (non-canon) [[Red vs. Blue]] episode Getting the Call, [[John-117]] is shown endorsing them as "Uncle Grunty's Food Nipples", and a [[Grifball]] sponsor is "Aunt Gruntie's Old-Fashioned Sterilised Food Nipples". |

| The Unggoy, having such a lowly place in Covenant society, lead an existence of servitude; feeding at these nipples is one of their very few real pleasures. Many Unggoy do not enjoy feeding from food nipples: however, they seem to put up with it because it is their main source of nutrition. They appear as a long tube with a nipple at one end to consume from. They contain a blue, bubbling paste that the Unggoy find unappetizing but nutritious.<ref name="pg54">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 54''</ref> [[Melissa McKay]] described the smell as "old socks wrapped in rotting cheese". <ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 189''</ref> | | The [[Unggoy]], having such a low place in [[Covenant]] society, lead an existence of servitude and feeding at these nipples is one of their very few real pleasures.

| *The food nipple is mentioned in the games on multiple occasions: | | *During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain of the]] [[Jiralhanae]] [[Tartarus]], referred to food nipples as a "Teat" <ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level [[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]]</ref>. |
| **The [[Thirsty Grunt]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' says "Good thing the food nipple's waiting for me back at the star ship, 'cause man, have I worked up a big, Grunty, Thirst!"
| |
| **In ''[[Halo 2]]'' on the level ''[[The Oracle]]'', after the [[Unggoy|Grunt]] says he has a bad feeling about something, another Grunt says: "You ALWAYS have bad feeling! You had bad feeling about morning food nipple!"
| |
| **The Grunt who mentions [[Flipyap]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' also mentions that they "went to [[nipple academy]] together".
| |
| **Also in ''Halo 3'', if IWHBYD is turned on, a Grunt may say: "He flees! Thank the nipple...".
| |
| **In ''Halo Infinite'', a grunt can be heard reciting poetry which ends by saying "and by the nipple's saving grace, I didn't end up dead!"
