Food competition in the Helena household
Tallest Giraffe
The original problem was that bf is 11 inches taller than me, so bf would preferentially eat the lower shelf, tastier snacks and then later all the snacks would be out of my reach. However, this meaning extends to any case where one person may have metaphorical access to a wider range of foods. For instance, I like my bananas slightly less ripe than bf, so I will often eat all the bananas before they're ripe enough for him. (I now buy two bunches and any leftovers get frozen.)
Hungriest Hippo
However, if there isn't an access problem, but one person is merely hungrier and faster at eating the snack, it falls in this category. I will eat the cheese for breakfast and therefore end up consuming most of it and consume ice cream at a higher rate. We are at parity for flaming hot Cheetos; no one entering our household should expect to out hungriest hippo those.
Fittest Finch
If the problem isn't wider access, but a complete inability to get at the food, it's not tallest giraffing. For example, I cannot get ice out of our detested ice cube tray OR separate the frozen bananas that have merged into one big block. I am not the fittest finch.

What's the analogy/competition for "I'm in the vicinity of the food more often, so I can have my pick"?
