Best Fake Food in Movies

The fictional universe is filled with fictional foods. Some, we would love to try, others... not so much. Still, these foods fascinate us, and some go on to a life of their own long after the movie they’d first appeared in has left theaters.


Real food is boring. Why else would film writers constantly create new foods? Well, OK, it can also be because real food doesn't belong in the far future or a galaxy far, far away. Or maybe because the writers don't feel like creating blatant product placements for companies that already have way, way, way, way too much money. Whatever their reasoning might be, a great number of fictional foods have sprouted over the years. Some have been recreated in real life, while others - due to the presence of certain arms treaties as well as the laws of physics - are currently and indefinitely confined to the human imagination. Let's take a look at 11 examples of such foods.

What's your favorite fictional food?

Krabby Patty (Spongebob)

You've all seen at least one episode of Sponge Bob, admit it! And chances are, this episode featured an appearance by everyone's favorite under-sea comestible, the Krabby Patty. Much like the Big Kahuna Burger, this sandwich basically boils down to a simple cheeseburger. The big difference, of course, is in the secret sauce. So secret is this sauce that only two people know its true recipe - Mr. Krabs and his mother. Whatever's contained in this sauce, I don't want it. Every patty you eat goes straight to your thighs, and then you blow up. And I thought Big Macs were bad for you.
