I've wasted SO much money shooting movies with fake cameras.

Fake food is often designed to survive heat from sets and lights. Filming for ads is different than filming movies, but the same idea applies. They also make low-sound versions of things like paper bags as to not ruin takes when things get carried by actors, moved around, or dragged on the set floor.

Using fake firearms is more expensive than using real ones with blanks, using real money is often cheaper than fake Hollywood money

The staff ate it later.

Fake food can be reused and real food can't, mkaing fake food cheaper in the long run.

It always pissed me off how in the Big Bang Theory, you always see them with food, but you never see them eat. I can probably count on one hand the number of times in the whole series someone actually takes a bite off camera.

I hope the crew got to eat all the stuff they never touched on camera, cause that shit always looked good. I got so many cravings watching that...

I'm still unclear on whether that was chicken.
