Mashed potatoes for ice cream! (And other weird things shown on T.V ) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did you know that when you see people on T.V licking ice cream cones they are really licking mashed potatoes? Real ice cream would melt! And how about that YUMMY whipped cream on that pie? Doesn't it look a lot like shaving cream? Probably because it is!

I got this from a book! They even said, "T.V." can even make dog food and baby food look absolutely delicious! But things aren't always what they appear to be on T.V."

Yup, if you notice most of the food served on tv isn't actually eaten. It's just for the scene. Notice(most of the time) that nobody ever actually eats.

I love TV trivia! It's so enlightening!

I thought you were going to say something about the Candid Camera segment where they gave mashed potatoes on cones to people instead of Ice Cream.

That is some interesting trivia, though.

A friend of mine took up photograpy right out of highschool. He eventually went on to specialize in food photography for TV and other commercial uses . He makes an envious amount of money for doing that. Am I jealous? Yep.
