As I sit here squeezing a foam apple, I'm thinking about the month of May. (Yes, it is May already. Isn't 2010 flying by?) The biggest thing going on in our Northern California town in May is the start of the annual downtown farmer's market. That means awesome fruit and vegetables that are locally grown. Does your town have a local farmer's market?
If you cannot get out to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, don't sweat it. Here at Office Playground, we too sell fruit and vegetables and we'll even ship them right to your door. But, wait! Our fake food isn't as fresh. So, please don't eat it. (Unless your doctor recently told you that you need more polyurethane foam in your diet.)
The classic application of fake food is to put it on your desk and offer it to people as a snack. Granted, some of the food is more realistic looking than others. We have found the more dense or gullible the target, the more successful the joke.
These are some of our picks for a fake fruit bowl:
However, the real value of our fake food is for stress relief at work. You can squeeze a pear while meeting with your boss or squash a fake slice of cake during that next boring conference call.
Below are some other silly foam food and drink items gaining popularity:
Our foam food has tons of benefits:
- Affordable
- Non perishable
- Doesn't attract fruit flies
- Brightens up your desk
- Great stress reliever
