The burger that started the original scarf/flipper quest seemed to be nothing more than a buyable food item your characater can consume.

Because that’s all it was and still is, it existed years before they made that quest, and it was just a convenient item to start it off (starving guy in cave).
Golden apples have a major role in Norse mythology, that’s the only reason they’re being sold, and it’s not in a way that would make sense for a mini-quest involving them.
