We scoff when dogs and babies try to eat dice and drink anti-freeze, but the thing is, it's not like they're too far off. There are tons of inedible objects that look like tasty food out there. There are rocks that look like cake, mops that look like soup and entire cliffsides that look like delectable steak dinners. May our consciences guide us away from this tempting stuff that looks like food but isn't.

We live in a world of many things. Some of those things are food. Some of them are stuff that looks like food but isn't. Basically anything that looks glossy, candy coated or brightly colored looks like something that should go in our mouths. But be warned, those things could be soap, spider eggs or whole turtles. At least we can look at the delicious looking things that aren't food and wish.

We're geared to look for tasty things to eat and there's nothing we can do about it. Well, the one thing we can do is not eat something that's obviously a rock or bowl of poison. The thing is, there's so much tempting stuff out there that looks like food but isn't. It's hard to keep track of it all.
Sometimes random junk like rocks and birds have the same color scheme and texture as delicious popsicles and ribeye steaks. The fine people at r/forbiddensnacks look for the tasty looking inedible delights around them. When you start to look for it, there's tons of stuff that looks like tasty food but isn't.
We've all had moments where we've seen a colorful marble or eraser and thought "man that looks just like delicious candy." The world is full of delectable looking things that look like food but totally aren't. And while we're not gonna actually start eating zip ties and paint, it's at least a fun exercise to see all the forbidden foods out there.

"Is that George Clooney? Oh wait, no, he's a Moldovan plumber." It makes the world feel pretty small to see someone from a rural town somewhere in central Asia who looks like your favorite sitcom character. For more images guaranteed to make you double-take, here are some mind-bending images of crazy perspective.
The ol' "say no more fam" haircut meme is a favorite of ours, especially when it strays into the territory of fail. Some of these are absolute doozies. Who would walk around like this? We're grateful they did. While this format is pretty funny, you wouldn't believe how the funniness can be smothered right out by a "fellow kids" style attempt by McDonalds.

In a spectacular showing of prank-ish trolling, a German awards show was temporarily paralyzed when a Ryan Gosling lookalike managed to breach security, and accept the actual Gosling's award. If only he'd been more prepared for his speech.
Outside that, the audience literally doesn't know what to do with themselves, and Colin Farrel is wearing the pained, lifeless expression of someone who ended up on a Tinder date that looks nothing like their photos.

Is might be safe to believe that Johnny Depp, Matthew McConaughey and Nic Cage are all vampires.

Adam Sandler's new movie just got some serendiptious free advertising. Apparently the main character's name is Max Kessler, but Max is real so he posted this image on Reddit:

So then actual Adam Sandler responded in the thread and Max responded back.

And then Sandler invited Max to the premiere of 'The Do-Over'.

Of course he went, met his celebrity doppleganger and the rest is history.
