Tempted by the cheery 7/11 ‘made to munch’ ads on TV at the moment, I picked up a sarnie from there this morning. Mistake. After a year of baguettes, flutes, ficelles and other such ‘real’ bread I vowed never to touch white sliced bread again. But this time convenience won out and I grabbed this ghastly sandwich.
The Trunk Animation version features silicone tomatoes, latex chicken and polyeurethane bread and ironically that’s more appetising than the real thing, a flattened soggy pile of sad-looking meat, whimpering lettuce and other tortured salad delights between bread that managed to be simultaneously stale and gluey.
As I threw the remains into the bin I remembered the fake sandwich’s cries of ‘Eat me! Feast on me!’. Reality is so disappointing. But live and learn eh? However I was cheered up by Trunk Animation producer Richard Barnett’s comment that ‘a rather gluttonous sole ingested a grape before we could convince him that it was fake!’. Greedy fish would make shoots immeasurably more fun…
