March 21st, 2018: Expensive Candy

I think you’d agree this candy is kind of expensive. No, it’s not from a movie theater snack bar.
No, it doesn’t come with prepaid dental insurance, but you don’t need that because you can’t eat it. http://cellar.org/2012/nono.gif
Actually you could eat it but you really shouldn’t, because they are props for TV, movies, and advertizing.

The M&Ms and Skittles are real but coated with resin.

Fake Cakes are made of a Styrofoam base and frosted with a rubberized material. The faux beverages are made of a poly resin that sets up to a hard plastic. Artificial cookies, fake donuts, and faux tarts are made of salt dough. All of the fake food sold through Props America is made of non-toxic materials and safe for display use. None of the food display items or fake foods sold on this website are edible.

Heh... I'm pretty sure "salt dough" is Play-Doh.

They're almost the same, but playdough has cream of tartar added to help it to last longer and be re-used. Salt dough is intended as a one-shot deal because you then bake it to create permanent items.

I've also found playdough to be more fragile when baked, not sure why that would be, though -maybe the CoT again? You also make them slightly differently, Playdough is usually heated during the process.
