Best Fake Food in Movies

Drinking a Pan-galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon. So it's like a 4Loko for aliens, then. Invented by a certain someone named Zaphod Beeblebrox, this drink is illegal on many systems, where brewing or consuming it can result in a hefty fine and prison sentence. There is also a number of voluntary organizations dedicated to rehabilitating those who have elected to try it. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy lists the Gargle Blaster as the best drink in existence. Best does not imply non-lethal, I assume.

The future sucks. Why? Because, if The Jetsons are to be believed, everything comes in pills. I hate taking pills. Come the future, even my meals will come in pill form. I don't know about you, but that seems like an awful way to live. At least give me the instant pizza from Back to the Future or the powdered chicken from Fifth Element. Oh, and computers in the future suck too, apparently. Take a look at the one in this picture. It actually still uses punch cards. I guess we'll realize at some point in the near future that keyboards and touch screens are just too clunky and uncomfortable to use.

OK, this isn't food, but it's still funny. In a time when the air on Planet Spaceball is running out, clean air has become a major commodity. So much so, in fact, that  companies have taken to canning it and selling it for an obnoxiously-high premium to the wealthy... sort of like what they're doing with water nowadays. Being who he is, President Skroob keeps a healthy supply of this canned air in his office while he assures his followers that there isn't and has never been an air shortage on Planet Spaceball.

It's that Hawaiian Burger joint. Big Kahuna Burger sprouts up all over Quentin Taranto's universe, including movies like Death Proof, Four Rooms, From Dusk Till Dawn, Reservoir Dogs and of course Pulp Fiction. It also comes up in Sharkboy and Lavagirl, but we don't talk about that film. Anything that gives rise to Taylor Lautner's career is bad news. Supposedly, they make amazing burgers that everyone can enjoy. How do I know that? Samuel L. Jackson told me. Would you like to tell him he's wrong? Go right ahead. Make sure to leave me something in your will before you do, though.
