They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* I always wondered why the director couldn't at least show that the food was partially eaten at least. It always bugged me that people in movies and TV often order food without eating it... even if they don't get interrupted.

** The meta reason for this whole trope is that food is anyway a nightmare, continuity-wise, and it's hard enough to keep it straight so that you don't get a whole load of nitpicky emails about how the food shifted from shot-to-shot; it's presumably just a bit easier on the poor continuity director to keep what food there is whole rather than having to juggle which bits look eaten versus which bits don't.
