Highly-crafted artificial vomit is as American as the... hot dog.

"What is the greatest gag of all time? This is it. It is literally a gag item because people react with a sympathetic real gag," said Erick Erickson

I bet Erick Erickson is the kind of guy who always explains why jokes are funny.

bluishorange, no, it's even better. He's employed by those who invented Fake Vomit (R).

Maybe he's just bitter that people keep confusing him with a psychologist.

I would think that the ultimate gag gift would be real vomit.

The ultimate in gag gifts.

I was so certain that somehow blowjobs were involved.

The ultimate gag gift would be a year long buildup and then a regular, non-gag gift.

And to think we nearly made it through the holiday season without a post about fake vomit!

It's probably made from the same source materials as well. Then again that's more a statement on hot dogs than one on fake vomit.

I don't have much experience with fake vomit, but I will tell you that a well-placed plastic fake melting ice cream cone (say, on a Persian rug) at a rich relative's house is well worth it.

My sister did this in our uncle's study - the look on his face was priceless. We used to have a lot of fun with fake bugs, too.

I'm so sad there are no photos of said vomit.
