Meat Camouflages

The Magic Salad Plate

— July 5, 2008 — World
According to Australian meat pie maker Four'N Twenty, the ladies like a man that eats salad for lunch. With this in mind, the company has invented what they call a, “miracle of modern science that completely eclipses such wonders as the telephone, the Polaroid camera and even the iPod!”

The Magic Salad Plate is an ingenious serving dish that camouflages your high cal Four'N Twenty meat pie by what looks like a big healthy salad. From a questionable testimonial by 'Tim', “I used to eat my pie and the ladies would just ignore me. Now with the Four'N Twenty Magic Salad Plate I'm a lunch time lady magnet!” I think this is a riot.

The melamine plate with artificial greens is completely food safe and available for $5 AUS plus shipping. Preorders are being taken now; but alas shipping is only available within Australia.

This very funny video shows just how the Magic Salad Plate works to fool the ladies.
