What’s the significance of characters eating cornflakes in action movies?
Notice starting just about 2 decades ago, some action flicks have their characters eating cornflakes in between action scenes. Examples are Resident Evil (2026) and Spiderman. [Edit ‘examples’ isn’t an exhaustive list, if not self-apparent]
What’s the rationale for the choice of food? Why cornflakes? Why not sandwiches or biscuits or bread or instant noodles, if for convenience? And also, other food types are a lot quieter. Also more balanced meals with more nutrients for the bursts of actions.
The box wasn’t seen, so that rules out product placement of a particular brand. But not for the food category.
NB: I like cornflakes, as a snack. Asking as a film buff, and a foodie, trying to wrap my mind around some characters’ food choices in those situations.
