rethaier Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I read about this a few days ago and wondered how long it would take before they got here. The Chinese are making and selling fake rice which is plastic but has been mixed with real rice and sprayed with scent, fake beef made from pork with beef flavoring added, fake eggs among other items.

rethaier Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If an egg sells for B3.5, just how much profit motive is there to make plastic eggs? BTW fried eggs, in the shell? LOL - another Thai news story which does not stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever. You are very wrong on that call. This is a real issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) It's been a long time since I had to shop for Easter stuff for the kids, but these days I would guess most of the Easter stuff sold in the US is from China. Maybe this is what initiated the manufacture of plastic eggs (or for use as sex toys), and then some extremely clever person thought to pass them off as real eggs. Two questions: when picked up, is the weight noticably different? Do they sink or float when placed in a bowl of water? One of the things that still amazes me is the lengths people will go to, in East Asia in particular, for a very small profit. For instance, the price of sugar in Malaysia is fixed by the government. In Thailand the price was slightly higher by app. 1.5 baht per kilo (this was about ten years ago). People were caught smuggling truckloads of sugar into Thailand to cash in on this. Wow, just think, 1,500 baht for moving a thousand kilos! And then there is the cost of petrol... Edited October 2, 2015 by bendejo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultName Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 When i was a kid, my grandfather kept chickens, he always left a porcelain egg in the nest as it made the chicken keep laying there - take all the eggs and they move & make a new nest somewhere else. Could this be the modern equivalent that accidentally got picked up along with the real eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aries27 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) So she cracked the plastic egg, and the shell crackd like real egg. Then the contents flowed like real egg into th pan and if it didn't smell like plastic, she wouldn't know it was plastic at all? Wow, that is an amazing invention. At 3.50 Baht each, it's a steal. Inventor should be out making inventions that he can sell for millions of dollars and not for a pittance at a market in Thailand.

craigt3365 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 These fake eggs from China have been here for years. There's all sorts of fake stuff here from China. Even bicycle parts now! Crazy. Many times, these fake products are deadly. Karma? http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/china-billionaire-killed-by-champagne-bottle-cork/ Hong Kong| 49-year old Dingxiang Loeng, a well-known and very flamboyant Chinese businessman, died this morning in his suite of the Island Shangri-La hotel during a reception he was holding for his birthday. According to some of the 217 witnesses of the tragedy, it is while opening a champagne bottle that the billionaire was hit violently in the temple by the cork, an accident that caused a fatal brain hemorrhage. ................... According to the police, the champagne bottle could have been a Chinese counterfeit, an explanation that seems more than plausible for the exceptionally high level of carbon dioxide contained in it. The problem of counterfeit alcohol has become a major concern for the Chinese authorities over the last few years, as the quantity of forged liquors and wines has been soaring. Many experts estimate that as much as 80 per cent of the alcohol in most Chinese cities is fake, mostly using counterfeit branding, where spoiled, low grade bottles of wine are sold as the real deal, yielding unreal margins. The owners and staff of the hotel, refused to comment the event or the accusation of selling couterfeit alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupatria Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 If an egg sells for B3.5, just how much profit motive is there to make plastic eggs? BTW fried eggs, in the shell? Maybe this will partly answer your question: As state television in Rangoon already reported in February 2011, "fake" lab-eggs were sold for more than one year smuggled in from (CHINA) for sale in Burma. How much can you earn on a relatively labor-intensive lab made Frankenstein egg? An egg costs, depending on seasonal demand 75-120 Kip, with strong demand and local production can reap a tidy profit. The laboratory eggs are externally hardly be distinguished from natural product, but they consist of a mixture of various chemicals, including benzene acid, jelly and chemical baking powders. As the newspaper New Light of Myanmar reported the yolk consist of unknown substances that are mixed with calcium chloride. The mixture is poured into oval plastic containers and the artificial yolk and white are not separated by a membrane like the original. To identify the newspaper gives the following tips: The darker shell is made of wax and paraffin, thus it shines more and is a bit rougher than the originals. Turning the eggs on a flat surface, they rotate faster. If you boil the Copy eggs, their content is mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfurcrown Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I may be wrong but I seem to recall a similar state of affairs concerning plastic eggs and other foodstuffs of Chinese appearing here in Thailand a couple or so years back Any one able to confirm that fact?

thaiguzzi Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 LOL. Back in the UK a couple of years ago, was in a Burger KIng/Little Thief (Chef) franchise thingey on one of the main roads, and by the cashier's desk they were selling rubber brown eggs for £1. Looked just like the real thing and weighed the same. And they bounce. Bought half a dozen as prezzies. Brilliant fun picking one up and throwing them at people who say give us an egg. Great putting them in the fridge amongst real ones, and watching wife/MIL attempting to crack one on the side of a frying pan. well worth a quid (54 TB).
