Sage Boggs shared a Twitter thread that is making the rounds, and it's all about the electric origins of the infamous Triscuit snack. There's the internet for you. You don't normally wake up thinking that you need to know about how Triscuits are legit electric biscuits, but then you learn that they are, and it's pretty awesome. 

The people at r/forbiddensnacks are committed to finding things that look delicious but are otherwise not food or straight up harmful. It's a world of fungi that look like donuts, landscapes that look like rare steaks and just delectable looking spider eggs. It's stuff that looks like delicious food but isn't.

When you consider what proportion of the things in our world are edible, it's kind of a miracle that we can find anything to eat at all. And these doors, landscapes and random objects are an extra wrench thrown into the gears of what looks good to eat. There are just a lot of objects out there that look like tasty food but are totally not.

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.

You've gotta hand it to r/forbiddensnacks  for pointing out all the food-adjacent stuff out there. This stuff might look like crispy fried chicken, scrumptious eggs and fresh ground beef, but in fact it's actually a rock, a mushroom, and a mop. It's kinda fun.

Some of this stuff looks absolutely delicious, but watch out, it's probably an inedible gemstone. The people at r/forbiddensnacks are very serious about finding all the delicious looking non-food objects in our world, and can you blame them? These molds, landscapes and cleaning products look great.

Most things you see throughout the day are inedible, whether you like it or not. In spite of this, there are still tons of things out there that look good to eat. All you can do is wish and look at photos like these. For more, check out r/forbiddensnacks.

Sit back with a bucket of KGB fried chicken and enjoy some of these bootlegs products. We can't tell if they're bad or AMAZING.

In a world where international copyright infringement isn't really enforced, you can get away with a lot of weird crap.

They look like they'll be tasty, but in fact they're forbidden. What looks like hamburgers and caramel are actually rocks and car fluid. Check out r/forbiddensnacks  for more.

If the intent was to replicate the originals, these off-brands really screwed the pooch.

For all the times you've said "sure, it might look delicious now, but it's actually a piece of a shoe." Check out r/ForbiddenSnacks for more of these "treats."

"Is that a delicious pile of grapes? Or is it a clutch of terrifying spider eggs?" It's the spider eggs. For more, check out r/ForbiddenSnacks.

A few of these bootlegs seem better than the originals. Not sure about Burggers but it's probably got to do with juicy buns filled with Grade-A Beef.

Yeah, that's not burger meat. That's a mop. You done got fooled. Check out r/forbiddensnacks for more forbidden delicacies.

Don't you love it when something just really, really doesn't work out? Great feeling.
