Idol Worshipers: When you put food and drinks or money or 'gifts' in front of your shrines, do the idols ever consume your sacrifices?

I don't know how it works for 'idol worshipers'... I don't know any myself.
But In my religion, I know that for those of us who worship Gods and leave them offerings at the shrines we dedicate to them, we don't expect them to 'consume' anything. The Gods are Gods, not humans, lol. Those kinds of offerings are a symbol; a token of respect, honor and gratitude. It is symbolic of willingness to give back after being given so much.
If you are familiar with Christianity or Judaism you should understand this; Yahweh (the Bible God) asks for offerings and sacrifices... no one expected him to show up and chow down on the burnt offerings he requested.
I know Christians have kind of lost their understanding of symbolism... having gotten bogged down and stuck in the myths by taking them literally for so long. But if you understand how it worked up until recent history in the Abrahamic religions, then you can see the connection.
Perhaps it's the same with 'idol worshipers' (though again, I'm Pagan, so I've never met any people worship anyone other than their Gods) .

Are you talking about yourself, mate?
On monster energy, it says 666 in Hebrew. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. QR-code is Mayan curse. Laser is substance from demons; when scanned, food becomes dead.
Pepsi and other drinks have cells of aborted fetuses in them; intake of such drinks leads to demon possession.
Barcoded food = idol worship.
Gas with which you heat your food up is a substance from demons too.
Forgive me.

I have heard that Genesha, the Hindu elephant god, drinks milk, but I have not witnessed it myself.
Christians, Jews and Muslims do not have idols.
