{{quote|''All grocery bags must contain at least one stick of French Bread.''
|'''Hollywood Rule Book''', ''Vanity Fair''}}
If a character lives in [[The City]] and has just come home from shopping, he or she will inevitably be carrying a single brown paper bag (despite the fact that in many places, paper bags must be specifically asked for these days) from which protrudes a baguette (loaf of French bread) and the greens of a bunch of carrots; neither of these will be separately wrapped or packaged.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼
▲== Anime ==
* Played with in the ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' Anime. The main character's mother and their [[Meido|Maid]] go shopping on market day and buy a veritable mountain of different goods on sale. When you see them carrying all the bags, there is at least one leek sticking up from every bag.
* Linna is seen walking around with a bag with a baguette sticking out of it in one episode of ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]].''
* In ''[[F-Zero|F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu]]'', <s>Captain Fa-</s> Bart is seen, twice in the same episode, carrying a grocery bag with a baguette in.
* In a season 2 episode of ''[[
* Yuuki carries a bag with a baguette in the opening of the ''[[Silent Möbius]]'' TV series.
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Keith is carrying the usual "baguette and carrots" bag when [[Meet Cute|he runs into Cis]] in episode 15. There's also an apple in there, which he offers to her.
* In episode 4 of ''[[Smile Pretty Cure]]'', Nao is carrying three grocery bags, a leek protuding from one and a daikon radish from another, when she comes across the panicking Miyuki.
* Rico carries one of these in the opening for the first season of ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''.

▲* Seen played straight in ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]'', at least for the oranges part. Except in this case, while the Don is buying said oranges from the fruit vendor, a bunch of thugs show up and shoot him a few times, inevitably causing him to drop the oranges.
▲** This is a trope in itself; the producer used oranges to 'brighten up' otherwise grim scenes and dark sets -- therefore, you can find oranges in many scenes where someone dies.
* At the end of ''[[The Departed]]'', Sullivan carries one of these bags into his apartment. {{spoiler|He gets shot by Dignam, and the groceries do end up all over the floor. The original script even called for the rat that comes out to start nibbling on a fallen bagel.}}
* Dana Barret's shopping in the original ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
* In ''[[Taken (
▲* In the 2010 Eddie Lebron fan film of Megaman, Dr. Wily, before planning his revenge removes bran flakes and a roll of paper towels from a paper bag, sets them on his kitchen counter, and then sits down to think up his evil scheme...
▲* In ''[[Taken (Film)|Taken]]'', Bryan uses one of these bags as camouflage to get into the Paris apartment. The only recognizable food item is not one but TWO baguettes; the greens look like a small ficus plant. (Evidently in France you need more than one baguette.)
** Also in the same film, Jean-Claude also carries home a baguette for dinner.
* Exaggerated in ''[[Michael Clayton]]'': Michael finds Arthur walking with a paper grocery bag filled with nothing BUT baguettes.
* April O'Neil is seen with one with a visible baguette when arriving back to her apartment in ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (
* Seen in ''[[Rumble in The Bronx]]''. The baguette is even wrapped and labeled as such.

* [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Dharma and Greg]]'': One episode mentions that every time Greg does the groceries he buys a baguette, even though no one eats it.
* In ''[[Space Precinct]]'', we see that three-eyed aliens in the future still fill their shopping bags with that mandatory baguette.
* Turns up in ''[[Lovejoy]]'',

* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' with the item [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Stale_baguette "Stale baguette"]. Eating one results in a minor [[Global Currency|Meat]] loss, since anybody with the aforementioned baguette is bound to get robbed in a dark alley shortly after purchase.

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto]] IV'' has an occasional pedestrian wandering about carrying a paper bag of groceries. This contains a loaf of bread, a box of cereal, a half-gallon of milk, and some oranges. While easy to see walking the streets of most of the city, it is odd if they appear on Happiness Island.

* Much of the pin-up work of Art Frahm concerns the unusual theme of women's panties dropping in a number of improbably contrived situations.
