I mean, whether they act as items for your inventory, point bonuses, stuff to present to others, or "pieces" (if you will) within a puzzle game.

At this point, it has occurred to me to make a personal list of which kinds of games ''don't'' qualify by virtue of having too little variety, which I might just end up posting here for clarity.  Also gonna have to analyze how Cloudy ''fails'' the "common purpose" criterion, which is part of the reason why this trope is exclusive to video games.

'''EDIT:''' Now that I've come to realize, what I'm actually thinking of isn't so much about food, but about some broader, currently unnamed aesthetic, and this is just one form it could take.  Said aesthetic, which I already attempted to describe in the quotes taken from my blog, actually ''could'' apply even outside video games, but is present mostly in that medium.

Right now, I'm about to go to bed for tonight, but I will attempt to describe the concept and the situation better on my blog when I'm fresh tomorrow.
