In a video game with an [[Item Crafting]] system, everything that can be created can be made by two items combined in a relatively simple fashion. No matter how complicated something is to make, sticking the right two pieces of [[Vendor Trash]] into an oven will produce it. Need a [[BFG]]? Just glue a tiny hammer to a hollow tube, and you're ready to go! Forget your [[Love Interest]]'s birthday?

Possibly justified as it he might be simply distilling or refining the jelly in some way. In ''[[Twilight Princess]]'', you can drink the jelly straight for the same effects.
