They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich	comment	The characters order something arbitrary like salad or coffee, have a conversation, and then leave before ever touching their order. You will likely not notice this unless you happen to be very hungry when it happens; then it will drive you up the wall. This also applies when a character gets a snack or something to drink, but you barely see them touch/eat it. This is due to The Law of Conservation of Detail, as diners and restaurants are great places to stage a conversation between characters, but their eating isn't relevant to the plot. Of course, depending on the scene, it's possible all the eating simply takes place off-camera. If there's a cut, and the food has been eaten afterwards, then that doesn't count for this trope. It's particularly infuriating in works that also employ Food Porn. Live-action shows also have another problem to contend with: food spoils easier in studio lighting. Therefore, most of the food used is a prop, unless characters are specifically meant to eat it. Equally obviously, if a scene requires multiple takes (which includes shooting from more than one angle), you don't want the actors to be forced to continually stuff their faces, only to have to make them a brand-new sandwich for the next take. Requiring the actors to eat the food can also create continuity problems in the event of retakes or editing (Skins in particular has been mocked for a scene where a sandwich changes state every time the camera angle does). And if the actor were to have a big enough portion of food in their mouth, it might make dialogue harder to hear. A variant of this trope is in a cop drama where two officers are drinking coffee while parked and see a car speeding past; as hot coffee is not something you want flying about during a chase, said coffee goes out the windows. See also Forgets to Eat, Late for School. Contrast Enemy Eats Your Lunch and The Snack Is More Interesting, where one party pointedly ignores the other in favor of eating, in order to aggravate them. Also see Lost Food Grievance, for when wasting food is acknowledged in-universe. Not related to They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot or They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character. Examples

John's father assumes his son took a day off only to learn the truth, the subsequent arguement leading to John's father throwing the box - untouched roast duck and all - to the floor. John then leaves, but after that the father picks up the duck, blows off dirt, and takes a bite.

Americas: Subverted in the thirteenth episode, when Chris witnesses some Chimu people throw the corns they had harvested to the sea, making him think it's a waste. But the little girl he meets in the beach (China), tells him that the throwing is intended to be an offering to the sea gods in exchange for more fruitful harvesting and food gathering. Chris quickly notes that the corn is being eaten by the nearby fish, which can the be captured by the fishermen for eating. In the twenty-second episode, Chris is offered a sweet meat from a gentle Iroqupis woman, but just as he eats it he's told about its ingredients, making him think that it also has ants in it (since he knows the Iroquois ate ants in Real Life) and thus making it throw the meal. When he learns that they only eat the ants when they're raw, Chris realizes his mistake and tries to collect the meal, but he's not allowed to since they tell him the Iroquois consider the food thrown in the ground to be an offering to the spirits of the dead (which is also true).

ZEXAL: During the Mythyrian Numbers Arc, Yuma, Shark, and Kaito find a temple on top of a mountain where the Number they seek should be; while there, Yuma is quickly drawn to a pot of delicious-smelling soup cooking, only for an angry old man — Jinlon — to storm out and hit him with a cane, accusing him of trying to steal his lunch. However, when Jinlon realizes that Kaito is a Dragon user and Kaito realizes that Jinlon is the guardian of the Number, Jinlon quickly decides to duel him, disregarding his lunch completely. (Of course, Jinlon likely doesn't need to eat at all; when defeated, he is revealed to be the spirit of the Number itself, and vanishes as Kaito claims the card.)

After spending weeks in the Canadian wilderness while being pursued by the vampire Bloodscream and the cyborg Cylla, he manages to reach a small town and immediately heads for the diner and orders a pile of burgers. He eats several before finding out that his motorcycle, which he had left at some gas station, has been delivered there.

In Leonardo vs. Red Ranger Jason, Jason accidentally bumps into Leo when the latter is eating a pizza, causing him to drop it. In Genos vs War Machine, Rhodey is trying to enjoy a cup of coffee while flying when a shockwave from one of Genos' attacks blowing up a mountain causes him to spill it. In Beerus vs. Sailor Galaxia Beerus confronts Galaxia because when she blew up Earth she also inadvertantly vaporised the God of Destruction's ice cream along with it. A fourth episode features this trope; Agumon's sitting there peacefully roasting a marshmallow over a campfire when Red's attempt at capturing him makes him drop it. Agumon's not happy about this, but the actual fight doesn't start until Tai shows up, at which point Red seems to treat it as a battle between Pokemon trainers. A similar instance of this also happens in a DBX matchup between Ben Tennyson and Danny Phantom where in both endings, a slice of pizza that Danny and Ben were fighting over ends up ruined anyway.

Halfway through their conversation, he pulls the paper off the straw and takes one sip. As he thanks Mac for it upon leaving, the full glass is in plain view. Justified in season six. Mac has introduced Dr. Aubrey Hunter to his idea of the "perfect slice" of pizza. As they're walking down the street discussing its merits (she doesn't exactly agree with him), a young boy across the way is shot. They take off running to help and she tosses the slice, with only one bite missing, into the nearest trash can. After Ellie skips school to find her birth mother in season 7, Jo takes her for a walk to talk about it and buys her a milkshake. Ellie takes one sip, declares it to be terrible and hands it back to Jo who throws it away.

But as soon as the girls arrive with Kevin Keller and his husband, Clay Walker, something unexpected happens: It is discovered that Wendell, the man doing the dishes, is the gunman whom Agent Mitchell and his team have been pursuing, who now drops the dishes and points his gun at Kevin to Archie's surprise. With a Big "NO!", Archie jumps into the fray while knocking his chocolate soda on the table... right before he takes the bullet for Kevin and dies after Wendell is apprehended. The bitter irony is that while everyone mourns his death, the scene makes a final cut to the spilled chocolate soda on the table... the soda he never even got to drink with Betty or Veronica while he was still alive, with only one straw in the ice cream and the other two separated from the cup. They Wasted a Perfectly Good Soda, indeed.

Granted, Marty was only in the diner to look up Doc's whereabouts, and ordered a drink because the owner insisted he make a purchase. Also in Lou's Cafe, George orders a chocolate milk and only takes a sip out of it before approaching Lorraine. In Part II, Marty never gets to drink the Pepsi Perfect in Cafe 80s.

At the beginning of the episode, Flash is flirting with two girls, with enough food for ten people (given how high his metabolism is, he always eats like that). However, duty calls, and he has to leave it unfinished to stop a runaway truck. Later, he orders about twenty hamburgers from a vendor, but again is called to heroics when Solovar steals a car, leaving them uneaten.

A victim of the week must be prevented from eating his poisoned sandwich (several times, thanks to the "Groundhog Day" Loop). This requires far more elaborate schemes than what most of this page would imply. A later iteration of the loop has a now-deranged Parker simply taking his gun out and demanding that the victim put down his sandwich. He doesn't want to. Several death threats to multiple people later, the victim finally agrees to abandon his meal.

It's sort of an unspoken rule in many musicals that you should just pretend the songs aren't part of the actual story. So either we're seeing the staff trot out all these dishes in front of Belle as they sing a grandiloquent, choreographed number about hospitality while in reality she's enjoying a quiet, satisfying meal as the staff wait in attendance, or Belle tried some samples during the performance, then had a proper meal afterwards.

Parodied in one episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers where Rocky shows reluctance at having to leave his Dagwood Sandwich at the last second for a Ranger battle, and then when he and Adam race to get back to it afterwards. Emphasized in one episode of Power Rangers Turbo where Bulk and Skull (who are currently monkeys, due to the curse inflicted upon them in an earlier episode) notice the left-behind sandwiches and rush over to eat them. A running gag on Power Rangers RPM is that Flynn will prepare a smoothie, but never get to finish/drink without being called into duty. And again in Power Rangers Megaforce where Jake orders a smoothie for Gia (and pays for it) and is about to give it to her before he gets called away for duty. The Trope is not played for laughs in one episode of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Mike befriends a young woman and invites her to a restaurant, but has to leave quickly to help his allies deal with the Monster of the Week before he can eat his hamburger - lucky thing too, because she's actually Trakeena in disguise, and poisoned it. She tries to do the same thing later with a glass of juice, but by then, he's onto her.

For example, in "Garfception", Garfield's dream starts with Jon making Garfield infinite lasagna. He eats some lasagna, but most of it isn't eaten as he gets interrupted by everything being fine for him, which is especially weird because Garfield loves lasagna. His nightmare starts with Jon having made lots of food that had raisins (in this case, it's justified). Also, in "Furry Tales Part 2", the ending song shows Garfield and Odie getting some food, and then it shows everybody dancing, with the food on the table completely full and untouched(or maybe it's just a time skip).

The waitress shows up, and since Cap isn't bothering with the secret identity stuff — his hood/mask is down, but he's got his scalemail under an open jacket — she recognizes him, is impressed, and they talk a bit, then she gets their orders and bustles off. Wolverine scornfully says that Cap probably hasn't paid for a meal since he revealed his secret identity to the world. Before the food arrives there's some kind of alarm and both heroes run out of the diner, Cap throwing down several dollar bills as he does so. Then, as Wolverine's about to flag down a car, he scolds Cap about taking the time to pay for food they never got to eat. Cap, being Cap, ignores this.

Leftover food WILL need to be thrown away before it goes bad. Fortunately, one of the later expansions for The Sims 2 allows you to put the leftover food in the fridge and eat it later. In The Sims 3, if food gets thrown out before it spoils, the Sim responsible will end up feeling bad about wasting food.

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich / int_705bb59a	comment	This is common for vampires in both Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Requiem. Vampiric digestive systems can only process blood, so they can't eat at formal events. Part of the Masquerade is learning the slight-of-hand needed to keep people from noticing you never eat — and a suggestion for botching a social roll in Vampire: The Masquerade was for the other guests to realize exactly that. At least in Vampire: The Masquerade, some vampires have the ability to keep human food down for a couple hours, though they would eventually have to vomit it back up. Some Nosferatu with this ability even managed to weaponize it by projectile vomiting on their enemies. One story has the vampire narrator mentioning a disgusting alcoholic beverage called a Rusty Nail that the mayor's ghoul servant favors. Later on the ghoul becomes a vampire himself. The narrator still pours him a Rusty Nail when he arrives, as a sentimental gesture, so he can hold it and still feel human. At least one Bloodline is based entirely on having the power to eat and drink.

At the end of the episode, after defeating the waffle monster, the gang makes an identical stack of waffles, and when they finally sit down to eat it... they change their minds and decide to order pizza instead because the new waffle stack reminded them too much of their fight with the previous one. As they put it, "it did try to kill us." The episode "Catch and Release" averts this, as Amethyst just eats her entire pizza (including the box) in one bite before jumping into action. "Storm in the Room" gives a lot of screen time to a bowl of mac & cheese that Steven prepares while home alone. Due to his discomfort with a painting of his mother on the wall, Steven decides to eat his food outside, only for a storm to immediately hit, with his macaroni getting rained on and acquiring some leaves. He then winds up disregarding his now-ruined meal and entering his room in the Crystal Temple to search for answers about his mother. After he returns, he is too distraught to eat, and the episode ends with Greg and the gems returning home with a pizza that Greg goes so far as to place on top of the macaroni bowl. "What's Your Problem" has a scene in which Steven and Amethyst sit down to share a pizza heaped with "literally all the toppings", while talking about various important things. They only eat a small amount of their pizza before leaving the restaurant.

In the episode "Nighty Nightmare", as Garfield eats the lasagna, the national guard says the Grand Canyon was being filled with chicken gumbo in case Garfield wanted soup. That's never mentioned again. Its successor show, The Garfield Show, also did this sometimes. For example, in "Garfception", Garfield's dream starts with Jon making Garfield infinite lasagna. He eats some lasagna, but most of it isn't eaten as he gets interrupted by everything being fine for him, which is especially weird because Garfield loves lasagna. His nightmare starts with Jon having made lots of food that had raisins (in this case, it's justified). Also, in "Furry Tales Part 2", the ending song shows Garfield and Odie getting some food, and then it shows everybody dancing, with the food on the table completely full and untouched(or maybe it's just a time skip).

Before a meeting with Admiral Nechayev in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Journey's End", Picard lays out tea with her favorite snack, Bularian canapÃ©s. Although she appreciates the gesture, neither of them consumes anything apart from a sip of tea. However, in the later episode "Preemptive Strike", it's implied that the canapÃ©s were eaten after all. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Throughout the episode "Accession", Bashir and O'Brien order several beers from Quarks — and never finish any of them. In "You Are Cordially Invited", O'Brien and Bashir are participating in Worf's bachelor party, the Path to Kal'Hyah, which to the average human is less a bachelor party and more a series of tortures chased with a days-long fast in the middle of an underground sauna.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "The Cloud", Janeway's replicator flubs, and she can't have her daily coffee. Neelix offers her a "better-than-coffee substitute" (which has the viscosity of honey), but a communicator call pulls her away before she can have a sip. Subverted as she is relieved that she was called away. One episode of Star Trek: Enterprise features Trip as acting captain, who takes advantage of the generosity that he is able to dole out by inviting two crew members to dinner in the captain's dining room. All three of them are presented with their favorite dishes, which remain untouched when an unexpected incident requires Trip's attention. As a starship captain, you are never off duty...

On the ship he served on, his fellow cooks would always eat the leftovers the customers didn't bother to finish, complaining of this very trope. Sanji just found it unsanitary and would throw them away instead. However when Zeff and he were later stranded on a rock formation with no way down and only limited food, Sanji realized why they did it; when you're out at sea, food is scarce and you gotta make every crumb count. Needless to say, he took the lesson to heart, with wasting food becoming a massive Berserk Button for him. Defied by Luffy during the Alabaster arc. While he was in the midst of chowing down in the restaurant, he's accosted by Smoker, a Marine who'd pursued him all the way from the East Blue, who gets annoyed when Luffy keeps on eating and, just as he's about to go on the attack, Luffy authoritatively orders him to stop... before using the pause to stuff the rest of his food into his mouth and then runs away.

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich / int_c9caedf5	comment	Conquest of Space (1955). The candidates for the Mars mission are pissed because they have to eat Food Pills in the same mess hall that everyone else is tucking into roast beef and fresh vegetables. In a Kick the Dog moment, a crewman is informed that he's washed out of the program when a steak dinner is served to him. Everyone watches in envy as he takes a bite...then he rushes from the room to be sick. Then all the other food gets wasted when meteors strike the Space Station, breaking the strings on one side and causing it to tilt, sending everyone sliding across the room.

In this case it's half this trope, half O.O.C. Is Serious Business. In a similar vein, while participating as part of the educational reform program, Colvin takes a group of his most-improved students to a fancy restaurant. They are so nervous and out of place that they won't touch any of their food, and immediately grab some fried lake trout after they leave.

Later, the kids also don't get to eat very much before the raptors enter the visitor's center and force them to run and hide.

The Wolf refuses to give brewster Droopy a tip, so Droopy starts doing his usual "The Cat Came Back" shtick, suddenly appearing every time the Wolf tries to stay far, far away from him. Eventually, Droopy annoys the Wolf into submission and he pays Droopy with lots of money before jumping out through an airplane toilet. Droopy interprets the Wolf's action as this trope, as he left his latte behind while retreating.
