The Sweetroll Joke

A running joke in Bethesda games (dating all the way back to Arena) about sweetrolls can be found throughout the game. The joke even occurs outside the Elder Scrolls world. In Fallout 3, during your 10th birthday party, a character called Butch attempts to muscle you out of your sweetroll.

• Town guards will occasionally say, "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?"
• The item Sweetroll can be found throughout Skyrim as a normal food item, and sometimes placed in strange locations.
• While following you, Cicero will sometimes say, "Cicero is hungry, need a sweetroll...or a carrot."
• Children can rarely be heard saying, "Give me back my sweetroll!" while chasing each other around.
• The Wabbajack can sometimes place a sweetroll behind the enemy causing them to turn around or rarely turn an enemy into a sweetroll.
• The Jarl of Whiterun's daughter can be heard complaining that it is almost impossible to find a decent sweetroll in Whiterun.
• Having your sweetroll stolen was first mentioned in Arena when answering moral questions to determine your class. It was used in a similar context in Daggerfall andMorrowind.
• M'aiq the Liar comments that he tried dual-casting spells and burnt his sweetroll.
• Inside the Quicksilver Mine located at Dawnstar, you'll find a sweetroll on a table near the back of the mine. If you pick it up and Edith, who also works at the mine, spots you, she may exclaim, "Well, *somebody* had to take it!"
