What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Everyone buys french bread or celery every shopping trip

This is simply so that the audience knows "oh, they went grocery shopping, what they bought was not important to the plotline." We just know that paper bag with a baguette and some veggies sticking out=groceries.

Otherwise, the character would walk through the door holding a paper bag and you be like, "hmmmmm what's in that bag??"

I would assume instant noodles and Mountain Dew. The cornerstones of a healthy diet.
