snacks

It's a crying shame that the world is so full of tasty-looking temptations that look like food but aren't. There are beds that look like ice cream sandwiches, snakes that look like bananas, and boxes of mop heads that look like ground beef. If only we had the digestive capacity to enjoy a mop-burger, but alas. Things that look like tasty food surround us.

It's a whole lot presumptuous for this classmate to insist on a whole new snack day inspired by this person's free donuts, but they seemed to have gotten the picture. For another funny story of someone refusing to be bullied about donuts, here's a new employee who is not having free donut day.

"Passing the savings" on to the consumer is great and all, but what really matters is that you're passing the actual product to the consumer. Everyone has had a moment with lying packaging, trick containers and misleading and awful products that ended up being more cardboard and air than anything else. The lengths some manipulative and terrible products will go to is something that feels like it should only exist in cartoons.

The 90s were an amazing time for senseless and gimmicky candies, and it was great. Everyone had a skateboard and no one really knew how to skateboard. They had green ketchup. No one knew what made it green, but the kids in the commercials sure made it seem extremely radical.  Snack companies went as far as basically just giving kids a toothpaste tube filled with neon colored syrup. Here's an unhealthy indulgence of fast food nostalgia, as well as some powerful nostalgic memes.

Our world is full of things that look like good food but aren't. It could be a manhole cover that looks like a waffle, mushrooms that look like mac and cheese, or an entire continent that looks like a steak dinner. There's a heaping helping of automotive products, paint, dice, sponges and other random junk that looks like tasty food but isn't.

Sometimes, while navigating our incredible world, we forgot to smell the roses, or in this case, taste the multi-colored dice that look like fruit gummies. There are so many delicious looking things that aren't actually food out there, and while it's best not to try to lick a ball of uranium, it sure looks tantalizing.

Ah, yes, the internet has found something new to weigh in on, and disagree over. Yes, we're looking at which Chex Mix pieces rank superior over the others. This is no laughing matter. People have strong opinions, and cast grave judgments over others for their ultimate selections. There would seem to be a strong split over the quality of those rye chips. Some love it, and some can't stand the thought of it. 

Why do they make earplugs look so goddamn tasty looking? Here are things that look like food but would either taste bad, be impossible to chew, break your teeth, or bite you back. Too much stuff in this world looks like food but isn't. Here are the bugs, wood shavings and rocks that look tasty in all their forbidden bounty.

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.

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.
