Ah, well I've been thinking it for many years, and now we can all know with confidence! Seriously, thats nasty though. This is just the stuff we know about. Imagine what we don't know about?

I think the frozen pizza industry has been doing this for years, just with less "softening" chemicals.

Is this where the whole

"Big fish little fish cardboard box"

concept came from?

Makes you wonder!



And just so you know I can do it so much better than that!!!

:shk: Wow some people just haveway too much time on their hands.

Ok, before I get all upset! Was that aimed at me or the kids in the vid?

And can you honestly say that if youtube was around when you were a party going teenager there wouldn't be any vids of you doing stupid stuff.

I wish I was 15 years younger!

I'd rather just eat food and not know what is really in it. :shk:

Calm down Chikey- Iwas refering to the video not you.And oh yeah if youtube were around 20 years ago for sure I'd be on there and it would not be pretty.

If it was aimmed at me the next question would have been.

How do you know I have too much time on my hands? have you been talking to Mrs Monkey?

My covers been blown! Now I'm completely screwed! She'll have me cleaning the fridge and stuff AAAahhhhgghhhghhggggg!

Well I'm sure she loves you both no matter what.

It was all a hoax.

A freelance reporter for a Beijing television station has been detained for faking a hidden camera report about street vendors who used chemical-soaked cardboard to fill meat buns, local media said.The story, allegedly shot with a hidden camera, was first broadcast on Beijing Television's Life Channel on July 8 and then again on China Central Television last week.

Beijing Television apologized to the public during an evening news broadcast Wednesday and said the reporter, identified by the official Xinhua News Agency as Zi Beijia, was detained by police. A copy of the broadcast was obtained by AP Television News on Thursday.

It may very well have been a fake/hoax, but I don't trust the ChiCom gov't enough to accept this new report of a hoax at face value.
