Not only that, the acting of the actors also often spoils the eyes of the audience. It is not surprising then that popular soap operas often give rise to their own trends, both in terms of language and clothing that the public follows.
Apart from that, the food menu in soap operas also steals attention . The reason is, a number of foods in soap operas often look appetizing with the variety of menus served. But you know what? There is an interesting fact behind the delicious food in soap operas. A TikTok account recently shared a video showing the menu of dishes often served in soap operas.
In the video, you can see that the menu served consists of processed spiced fish, fried noodles, various stir-fries, and well-presented cut fruit. These various foods are also plated beautifully, making them even more appetizing. At first glance, the appearance looks like real food.

However, instead of being served on the table, dozens of food menus were simply placed on the floor. After investigating, all the soap opera dishes are fake, you know. TikTok user @santy.azzam8 also expressed this through an uploaded video.
"It turns out the food is all fake," said TikTok @santy.azzam8 quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (24/7).

So the rows of delicious food served in soap operas are just props. In the video, a crew can be seen washing this food property. He uses a hose to rinse the food, just like watering flowers.
In the video, he holds a plate containing pieces of yellow fruit, then rinses it with water. A moment later, he took a plate containing stir-fried vegetables and watered them for a while. Then he moved on to a plate of spiced fish. Even though it was doused with water, it appeared that the spices attached to the fish did not wash off.

In general, properties like this are made from wax that is shaped in such a way that it resembles food. Compared to using real food, of course using properties like this will be more economical because they can be used repeatedly. So you know, the reasons for eating scenes in soap operas are quite limited.

Even so, the video still raises many questions from netizens. Since it was uploaded on Sunday (21/7), more than 16 million netizens have watched the video. Most of them also provided direct responses in the comments column.
" If it's fake, why is it in a soap opera if you take it like it's not fake, instead you eat until you're full, " asked TikTok @reskyamaliah237.
" There are a few original ones...for certain skin needs...for example the sex scene...must be original...but the ones that aren't touched are usually fake, " replied TikTok user @pocilama.
" No wonder there's a lot of food on the table but the only thing you take is water ," said TikTok @nazril1008.
" No wonder every time you want to eat you have to fight, so you eat and it turns out it's not really food ," said TikTok @cahbaguserlis.
" The real thing is just a piece of bread and even then you can eat it whole and leave it ," explained TikTok @2rsify.
