Food & Eating:
- Pastries are always in plain pink boxes. When we see a plain pink box, we expected to know that the box contains donuts or cake or some related item.
- All movie mothers will prepare a breakfast, usually consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, etc. Dad and the kids will invariably arrive at the table 30 seconds before Dad has to leave for the office and the kids have to catch the school bus. Each will have time only for a sip of coffee/juice and/or one bite of toast. There must be enough food left over in these homes to feed an emerging nation!
- Characters eating during the scene they’re in eat in utterly unnatural ways: nibbling instead of taking a real bite of sandwich, cutting tiny bites of steak, taking very tiny sips of their drink, etc.
- Beverages are served either half full or completely empty (especially coffee).
- Coffee is never served steaming hot
- Characters cutting and ‘playing’ with the food on their plate during the scene instead of eating it.
