- Tutti Frutti was a German television game show produced by commercial broadcaster RTL from 1990 till 1993. Tutti Frutti, hosted by Hugo Egon Balder, was typical of the early years of private TV stations in Germany in that it successfully tried to push up ratings by offering explicit content that scandalized traditional, middle-class viewers. It was based on the italian show Colpo Grosso. The rules of the game were mostly unclear and had the only purpose to make the candidates - one man, one woman - strip (no full nudity). Additionally the show had a topless female chorus (image). See Tutti Frutti (Germany)
- Tutti frutti was a Swedish television show produced by Sweden's first private commercial broadcaster TV3 in 1994. The participants in the show played a number of games, with the intent being to expose as many female breasts as possible ("tutte" is Swedish slang for breast). The show was heavily criticized for the way it portrayed women, and also came to reflect badly on the broadcaster. See Tutti Frutti (Sweden)
- Tutti Frutti is a juice shop in some countries in the Middle East, part of Yum Yum Tree restaurants.
