At one point Jin and Hehachi fighting over an ''egg''. Ultimately Lars has to settle for a bit of seaweed only for Hehachi to slurp it up before he can eat it... and then Lars wakes up, revealing it was all an odd dream he was having.

The Friends example is Lost Food Grievance, not this trope.


* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': When Ross was in the middle of his second divorce, one of the things he was looking forward to in his depression was the special sandwich made from the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers (it has a piece of gravy-soaked bread in the middle to keep everything moist). He brought it to work, but one of his coworkers steals it. The straw that broke the back of Ross's remaining civility and sanity was that the coworker didn't even ''finish'' the sandwich, most of it ended up in the trash.

-> "Pigslice : (pig' slys) (n.) The last unclaimed piece of pizza that everyone is secretly dying for."
--> - Sniglet

Two or more characters are enjoying a snack from a communal source. At some point there is a realization that there is only one left for multiple people. Hilarity ensues as this one bit of food, unlike its fallen brethren, becomes monumentally important. Usually, this is because the food was not divided evenly, such as there being 9 pizza slices for 4 people.

There are several variations on how this may play out:

One character may absent-mindedly reach for the last one, when they are interrupted to point out that it is the last one. This may be played for comedy as everyone realizes how important the last one is, or played for drama, likely resulting in an argument over why it's so important.

If multiple characters realize it at the same time, there may be a WildWest-style stare-down to share this understanding, followed by a quick-draw analogue in grabbing the last one, or a more convoluted competition to determine who is deserving. Cutting the last one in half and sharing it is NOT an option. Expect some ForkFencing along the way, considering how likely this is to devolve into an actual, physical fight.

Occasionally, one character may simply be deprived of the last one because they were absent when it was taken. They will very likely be upset by this and, sometimes, will launch an investigation to see who took it. If the food was something they themselves brought, they'll be ''especially'' angry.

If the "last one" is a MacGuffin, it's a MacguffinMelee. Subtrope of LostFoodGrievance. Compare CutASliceTakeTheRest.
