Things that look like food
I have a problem. I walk around the world and I just see snacks. Everywhere. I see a rock on the beach and my brain goes, “Is that a potato? Can I fry that?” It is a sickness! Why does the universe do this to us? Why make molten lava look exactly like a delicious, spicy cheese dip? It is a trap! It is a cruel joke played by mother nature to test our self-control.
These photos of things that look like food are dangerous. You look at them and you physically salivate. You want to eat the sea foam marshmallow. You want to put the red printer ink on your tacos. But you can’t! If you eat the forbidden soup, you die. That is the rule. But honestly, looking at that truck full of glowing orange liquid… it might be worth it. Just one little taste. No! Bad brain! It is industrial slag! Stop trying to eat the construction materials!
We have collected the most appetizing non-edible objects from around the web. These are the forbidden snacks that tempt us daily. From rocks that look like bread to industrial waste that resembles soup, here are the things you definitely should not put in your mouth.
It is comforting to know I am not the only one who wants to bite into these things. That rock really did look like a perfectly grilled cheese sandwich. The resemblance is uncanny. It just goes to show that humans are simple creatures; if it looks crunchy or melty, we want to eat it, even if it is technically a geological formation.
If you survived this gallery without eating a rock, you should check out more visual humor. We recommend looking at forbidden snacks memes, pareidolia photos, and funny food fails for more culinary confusion.
