You’ve probably seen images on the internet of cake that look like things. It seems that you can’t grab onto your smartphone without worrying about it somehow turning into a delicious torte. But what about the opposite? What about things that look like food that you should, under no circumstances, sink your teeth into? Well, we’ve got 50+ perfect examples of forbidden snacks that you should definitely not eat.
Potato-Eating Potatoes
The history of the potato goes back a long way. It was first grown in South America, a staple crop of the Incas. Europeans first learned about the potato from the Incas, who called it the ‘bundle of life.’ The Europeans didn’t know what to do with the strange plant at first, but after experimenting with ways to cook it, they decided it was tasty.
But what isn’t so tasty is an aquatic mammal that looks eerily similar to potatoes. In this case, we’re talking about manatees—those gentle creatures who wouldn’t hurt a fly but could squash a human into a flat pancake.
