In Videos: 'Toy Food' Music Video
Neil Cicierega bought a box full of fake plastic food. So he wrote a song about it. And thus "Toy Food" was born, the catchy song with the informative chorus: "Toy food / Like real food, but is toy / Toy food / Not real food, do not eat." My next favorite line is "Milk / Peas / Gourd / Meat." Who knew the world of plastic food was so vast? Watch the video after the jump.

You wouldn't believe the enormous variety in play food. I have a preschool class and in the kitchen we have everything from figs to bologna to asparagus to whole fish you can cut in half (held together with Velcro) with a cleaver.

Neil isn't emo at all, actually, and I think he's effin' hilarious.
Way to go for posting this.
