snacks

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.

Is that popcorn or is that hamster bedding? Is that a juicy steak or a really good looking rock? Either way, these snacks are not alright to eat. Check out r/forbiddensnacks for more.

Is winning a lifetime supply of something actually too good to be true? Will the company try to get out of the deal through some loophole? Sometimes companies actually make good on that lifetime supply. Just hope you didn't win anything from Blockbuster or Toys R Us.

Old paint never looked so forbiddenly scrumptious. Check out r/forbiddensnacks for more.
