Why do we need trash food and drink in reward containers?

For both tales of tribute, and guild daily rewards, they always reward some garbage food and drink you just have to throw away
why?
that stuff can just be looted from tables in the world.
it's junk
and I don't even want to bother trashing it or selling it much less ever using it.
it's worse than not getting anything at all.

    It’d be nice if they’re purple or gold food. And only dropped on occasion.

    like, crafting mats.. cool, as long as you're in ESO+ it goes in the crafting bag
    gear? even if you can't use it or sell it at least you can deconstruct it for mats
    potions and poisons... ehh... maybe some noobs can use them but kinda getting close to just being junk there.
    food and drink? I think not even noobs will use those, surely they can craft better even as a new player.

    It's just junk. Even for newer players. If they would remove this from the loot table I would actually win time because I don't have to destroy that stuff anymore.

    I can't imagine a lot of players use the junkfood or junk gear that drops. Which makes it bad rewards.

    I just vendor it for the tiny little bit of gold.

    But agree white food and drink should not be in reward containers of any sort, if they are going to include food and drink it should at the very least match the colour quality indicated by the reward container.

    Why not just take this junk food for what it is - the parsley on the rim of the plate. Nobody needs it, nobody eats it, you just ignore it and enjoy the other things on the plate. ;)

    It's called filler....like that rice you get in a burrito sometime.

    For PC, using these three addons (with some initial setup) is a miracle of automation:

    FCO ItemSaver
    PersonalAssistant (Banking, Junk, Loot, Repair)
    Mass Deconstructor

    I open up Fezez to sell trash, Giladil to decon all my intricates/other marked decon items, and Ezabi to bank/backpack according to my liking.

    Everything is so well automated, trash like this doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't think I could play on any other platforms because addons just improve the vanilla game too much.

    We don't buy those rice filled burritos anymore. They are smaller than the original and cost more.

    Sound familiar?

    To everyone posting addons that destroy junk for you, that doesn't do anything to address the fact that these trash items shouldn't be in reward boxes to begin with. It's like putting a bandaid on a surgery wound that the doctor didn't stitch closed; it's a fix for a problem but doesn't actually do anything to solve said problem.

    ^ This. Such a slap in the face to find Spoiled Food in a *reward* container. Honestly? smh

    because it's wasted inventory space you have to deal with.
    just give us a few coins more in the gold reward or something if that's the issue.

    Possibly a "roleplaying" thing, as it would make sense to reward the winner of a tavern game a jug of beer and something to eat for free.

    Of course, from a gaming perspective, it's just junk. Why isn't there a merchant at the Gonfalon gaming hall, by the way? There is a kind of innkeeper but she can't be traded with.

    I usually just sell the white food, drink, potions, and poisons. But it's also handy to have some on hand for my alts to use, especially on days when there's a "Consume X drinks" endeavor. :)

    I dont think its entirely useless as who really needs to waste their good buff food on overland content? If you dont do it, yeah its a waste, but do i really need to waste a Cameron throne when i que into a base game rdn or doing quests? I do admit I selll them but I see it as a positive, the coffers of tribute already are amazing to me, even on losses you can get plat dust and transmutes.

    I have so much cheap tri stat food and stuff, I will never run out so I can run it all the time. Not to mention the witchmother's brew and camoran throne I also consider cheap.

    Someone decided that me spending more time cleaning my bags is somehow a "reward". They seem like they would be really fun at parties, slowly deflating all the baloons and replacing Happy Birthday with generic annual celebratory jingle #3.

    Oh, thank you for this. Would help save time. I always sell junk items that has a price tag but getting useless items that has no price tag is a complete waste of time and this addon will help with that heavily.
