* Lampshaded in the video game movie ''Disney/WreckItRalph''; in the opening scenes, Ralph is shown smuggling a cherry out of ''Pac-Man''. He later splits it with some homeless ''VideoGame/QBert'' characters.

* ''VideoGame/{{Shenmue}}'' has chocolate, caramel and potato chips you can buy that cost a little more than the drinks from vending machines, but each one lets you draw a raffle ticket for the chance to win a prize. Unlike the drinks, though, Ryo doesn't consume the snacks, so they just end up sitting in his inventory like every other collectible.

* In the {{iOS Game|s}} ''[=ElectroMaster=]'', a giant fruit worth bonus points appears on the field every time the player scores an attack combo that's a multiple of 10.

Often overlaps with GameGourmet, when there are well over a few different food items you can get your hands on.

This is primarily associated with {{Arcade Game}}s of the 1980s, where the food items typically took the form of fruit. "Fruits" was even used as a generic term for food that may not technically be fruit.

* In ''Dimo's Quest'', the object of each level is to collect all the sweets. The original ExcusePlot justified this as an EngagementChallenge, but the PhilipsCDi port turned Dimo into a kid with a SweetTooth.

* Lampshaded in the video game movie ''Disney/WreckItRalph''; in the opening scenes, Ralph is shown smuggling cherries out of ''Pac-Man''.

* ''VideoGame/RabioLepus'' has bonus showers of 1000-point carrots after each BossBattle.

* In ''Ponpoko'' (the 1982 ArcadeGame), the player's goal is to have the {{tanuki}} eat all the "fruits" (which may include things like carrots and mushrooms) on each screen.

* ''Pepsiman'' for the PlayStation has Pepsiman collecting Pepsi cans he runs into along the way.

* In ''Skweek'', Skweek gets points from ice cream and hamburgers. (What flavors the four different colors of ice cream represent are not specified.)

* ''VideoGame/{{Pac-Man}}'' is the TropeMaker with its bonus fruits, though after the eighth board the bonuses turn into non-food items, such as the ''VideoGame/{{Galaxian}}'' ship. Of course, Pac-Man's goal in each stage is to eat all the dots, and the energizers let him chomp on the ghosts for more bonus points.
