Nobody even wants the real cabbage.

Somewhere, the Egyptian god Set is very displeased that this is a thing.

He really knows how to wax your cabbage.

Japanese people like to see the food before ordering. Most restaurants will have a large display of fake menu items.

Isn't it lettuce though?

Iceberg lettuce. Cabbage is far denser in layers.

Does it explain the difference between lettuce and cabbage? Because I think you need to watch it.

From the vid, fake food in Japan is extremely popular. You see it everywhere. Restaurant fronts use it to show what they offer.

Food display.

Ah I didn't consider that
alisongrace5656
I guess they are for display in shops and restaurants, maybe?

Neat, but what do you do with it?

Why would one need wax cabbage
duckshooter
For pranks maybe.

It is for display at the counter, they display fake food so people can see what the real plate looks like without it getting spoiled
Asteroidrules
Tastes better than the real thing.

"Japanese man makes fake cabbage out of plastic, waxes and other materials" Yeah, it's called cabbage, the fookin cheater

Advertising in storefronts/restaurant fronts in japan.

Filming? Photography. They don't use real food for that because real stuff wilts under the heat involved in direct lighting.

For advertising. It's done for most food. Those burger pictures in fast food restaurants? They're not real food either.

For wishful thinking in North Korea...
stevienicksfajitaroundup
Right? This is cool, but I was like, "There's...there's a market for this?"
montemole
They (Japan mostly) use them in food displays.
IchiNiisan
yes....that shit looks awesome. Made me want to get in almost every restaurant
RaynWisp
Oh, I thought that was mainly a North Korean thing
Dragondraikk
As far as Im aware this is pretty common in advertisement displays all across the world. Know those tasty looking McD's burgers? Wax/Plastic
CenturyScientist
In store displays are usually wax. Advertisements (paper, tv, etc) usually cook and prepare the food in a different way than the store.
EmmyHearts
You know, that's actually a really good idea. Helps keep food fresh in the back
choochoochooo
And when you walk along and see all the food in the restaurant window it makes you hungrier I think. Better marketing than anything else
LordDebuchan
The food there always looked like it did in the display too. Really helped you find what you wanted to order.
