What the actual...

We all know the tricks with the "serving suggestion" photos on packaging, right? Same ingredients, but prepared by a professional chef - and then often coated in something to make 'em shiny, cotton pad dipped in boiling water for steam, the old glue instead of milk trick...

But this, from Mars' Ben's Original brand? Not only is that nothing like the contents of the pack, it doesn't actually exist. It's generated.

This Food Does Not Exist.

How is this legal?

A photograph of a package of Ben's Original Street Food Spicy Indonesian Style noodles, sold in the UK. The package is dominated by a picture of a bowl of noodles, with vegetable-looking things in them. A tiny, tiny note to the bottom-right reads "Serving suggestion. Image generated with AI."A close-up of the note reading "Serving Suggestion. Image generated with AI."
