(+) Yeah! (+)

the food in your home is the only food you're allowed to eat for the rest of your life. this includes spices, drinks, and the general ingredients of whatever you've already cooked/eaten today. expanding upon that last part, that means fast food and the ingredients of that food are fair game. it ain't gonna be much though if it was only one meal. tap water is also a guarantee.

Anticipated FAQ if you take the money:
Q: Will it run out?
A: Good news everyone! It won't! Seeing as this is a topic on CE, it will be magically replenished every 48 hours with the exact same amount you started with.

Q: What if I don't have anything of nutritional value (junk food, a single jar of pickles, etc.) or there's zero food in my home?
A: Congratulations! You get a steady diet of water, oats, potatoes, and the vitamin D milk of your choice (along with any other supplements needed). No spices.

Q: What if the food isn't mine but my parents'/roommates'?
A: Their food is now your food along with any supplements needed.

Q: Does the restaurant I live above count as my home?
A: See poll option #2.

Q: What if I go out to eat with friends?
A: The menu will magically have random items using the ingredients in your home.

Q: Can you please explain how gardens will work?
A: If you already have a garden, that counts towards the ingredients (you can eat whatever is or isn't ripe). No gardens or growing food otherwise.

Q: Can I go shopping real quick?
A: Sure, but once you get to the store, you have 3 minutes once you walk through the door to have everything purchased and out of the store. And because I'm a fan of batman memes, you get 30 minutes to plan. Good luck!

Q: What if I have leftovers?
A: They will disappear when your ingredients are restocked.

Q: Really? an FAQ for a stupid "money but" topic on CE?
A: You betcha!

Please pick this apart and find any loopholes I might have missed!

I literally went food shopping tonight, and had pizza for dinner last night, with 4 slices left over.

Ill take the loot.

Currently, just ketchup packets, but I could subside on the default food for that much money. I like eating, but I like having money more than that.

mashed potatoes and ketchup my dude!

I have very little. Even if I had more, I would decline. The beauty of having money is the ability to use it on experiences, and that includes food.

What happens if at some point you are roughhoused with and made to ingest the finest Italian pizza that you did not have in your house? Will it spin the wheel and turn it into something I have?
Or does this deal oblige you to fight back as viciously as possible?

Easy. I've got pizza, veggies, cereal, macaroni, buns, deli turkey, frozen chicken, corn dogs, frozen burritos, bagels, breath mints, several kinds of soda and flavored water, beef taquitos, ground beef, butter, Ramen...

And more. I could easily live off that variety forever.

both

When I order food that shouldn't be on the menu at a restaurant, will the waiter go "Wait what the hell?" every time and need an explanation?

If a cannibal was to eat someone who was in the house when that deal came into effect, would the victim respawn?
Could you cheat the system this way and implement a 48 hour respawn ability for someone to grant them the inability to be truly destroyed until the person who took the deal dies and the effect wears off?

If you eat some dollar bills on the day the effect comes into play, can you establish to this inanimate magical power that money is edible and that it must respawn too? A magic infinite money glitch of sorts.

Is it possible to be eating right before the 48 hour effect comes into play? One second you're holding something, chewing the most recent bite, then the replenish happens, what you're holding is considered leftovers and suddenly vanishes?

they will understand and still not give a shit about you as a person unless you tip well.
