With the wheat and wheat-by-products ban there were many favorite foods that were no longer accessible in Night Vale. Birthdays began to be celebrated with ice cream cake instead of the previously popular sponge and whipped cream variety. Lunches were suddenly sandwich free and the morning bagel was suddenly replaced by the corn breakfast burrito.

In general following the ban was difficult, but there was one aspect of it that was horrible: the sudden lack of donuts in town. That was at least until the members of the Sheriff's secret police banded together to come up with a wheatless variety.
