Fools!

Now it's going to go viral with copycats and they are going to have to hire teams of employees to open each cabinet in every store and make sure it's empty.

Its Trump's fault. He's creating jobs all over the world!

Somewhere we discussed the plastic rice, I don't remember where, and I said they confiscated several tons in Africa. Here's the result...

Quote:
The artificial food products are popular with restaurants to display menu choices as they always look fresh and never rot. Artificial rice is made of PVC, a white, brittle plastic.

The product is designed to be used at room temperature, so degradation could start from 70 degrees Celsius. “They shouldn’t put it on the stove. It isn’t food,” Zhou said.

He said he was puzzled why anyone would smuggle artificial rice to sell as real in Africa, as the product his company sold cost more than 70 yuan for 1kg, or 10 times the price of real rice in China. In Africa the cost would increase due to shipping and other costs.
I suspect it was stolen somewhere along the way.

At least it will create employment opportunities, right? Although "Nighttime anti-teenager Ikea patrol" might look weird on a resume.
