Paying for food on board with EB points
The PA announcement on board SAS suggests that food can be paid for using your EB points. Is there a 'price' list available somewhere for the points needed for the various items of food?
I don't eat on board my short flight anyway but wanted to understand the value of SAS EB points.

Be aware that because the planes are not online you need to pay w a credit card,state that you want to pay w points,then you get your payed money tranferred back and points withdrawn when after some days when they have checked that you actually had points.

The worst idea ever to pay with points for food onboard!
A beer would cost EUR 6 (7-8 USD), meanwhile prices 1100 points. Those points worth at least 25 EUR, if you buy them from Eurobonus. So its at least, 3x times loss.

I think there are two cases where I can understand paying with points. On the one end non-frequent travellers who travel e.g. once a year to e.g. Spain and don't collect points through other channels. And on the other end people who just have a tremendous amount of points pouring in because of work and don't need to care.
Maybe that tells more about the real value than the 25€ price tag.
