Even the Chinese are aghast at their latest innovation – walnuts with tooth cracking cement fillings have apparently been recovered, the effort and cost of obtaining real nuts seemingly being greater than the trouble of making convincing fakes.
According to reports, the walnuts were on sale in a Henan province market, and consisted of a cement kernel with the outer shell glued on. The cement was wrapped in paper so as to prevent the “nut” from rattling suspiciously.

Wall nuts. Literally.
Like the wall nuts from Plants vs Zombies
For a country that normally doesn't recycle - at least they're recycling the shells.
I... don't know about that. I think theya re VERY good at recycling. I recall a bridge made purely out of trash, literally.
A hairband made out of used condoms. And what the hell, some "seaweed" made out of... more trash?
Innovative recycling.
Don't forget recycled cooking oil made from sewage waste.
Why selling cement walnuts ?
It's nonsense... Real nuts are cheap... why a seller take his time to make litterally teethtrap, except if he'is chinese 10 year old boy and want to do a badass joke ?
\o/
Though jokes aside, they actually recycle quite alot...of our trash anyway. Dunno about the States but I know they recycle something like 60-65% of our trash here in UK and around 30-40% of the worlds trash from what I remember on the BBC.
Kinda ironic though that when we do complain about pollution from other countries, we're generally the source of pollution in other countries...
To be fair the seaweed was misreported as being fake. It's real seaweed, it just looks like plastic when it's dried up Chinese style. I eat it all the time and it's delicious.

Also, pillows stuffed with shredded newspapers instead of feathers.
if you eat those you get BALLS OF STEEL
BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS
Call me when they start to EXPLODE !
U stirfry with rice, very nice....
It makes perfect sense:
1. Nuts are usually sold by the pound/kilo.
2. Have a friend at a food establishment/factory provide shells (discarded waste)
3. Get some cement
4. Make the cement nuts
5. Mix in some real nuts
6. Rack in the $$ as few cement nuts rapidly fill up to a kilo
7. ????
8. PROFIT!
You don't even need to buy the cement. Just rubble from a demolished wall.
Precisely, and with no FDA in China and no apparent certification process for their foods what did they expect was going to happen.
So true anon...and people still die of cancer left and right from eating bleached, salted, deep-fried, hydrogenated "food" their entire life that's "good" for them.
The average hamburger that you can get from Wendy's is a sad blasphemy of anything that might be food. Iceberg lettuce is like lettuce, tomatoes have been inbred to a point of collapse, nothing in that bun even resembles grain anymore, and the animals in it have lead cruel and torturous lives.
Yet you want unpasteurized milk from a cow that like...actually lived in a field? LOL NO.
And remember..... the Rethuglicans in America keep on trying to get rid of the FDA so that this kind of stuff can happen in America... VOTE OUT ALL RETHUGLICANS!
Fuck you, you mindless sheep. Go lick the nuts of Media Matters for the rest of your thoughts, as usual.
The FDA has a proclivity to prevent buyers from getting what THEY want. Because the FDA knows better. I don't want rotten meat, FDA has regs for that, FDA good. I want raw milk or the latest in pharmaceuticals, FDA has regs against that, FDA bad. Actual Republicans should be against government OVER-REACH.
yeah thanks to that way of thinking we are currently experiencing the collapse of western civilization.
it's indeed a very intelligent way of making profit, unless you consider the risk of getting caught by a costumer who is either violent, or even trigger happy, and willing to settle the score without getting the authorities involved.
I don't think you can call China a western civilization yet.
Personally, I wouldn't blame someone who found this stuff taking his ire out on the person he bought them from.
Oh look, the Great Walnut of China
someone at the walnuts and put cements in. lol
in the near future we will find out that the chinese people are indeed fake... just dolls filled with grayish rainbows that make them do this kind of shit...
they did dug up the terracotta warriors...
and they'll explode, like bad guys in Uchū Keiji Gyaban (or PSG)
I can just see the advertisement for this one:
"Henan Walnuts - Teeth-cracking good!"
At least their dental woes will go away after eating a handful of those 'wallnuts'.
They've been watching "Monty Python" to get marketing ideas ideas: "Crunchy Frog" candies, and other favorites:

Seriously wonder if the amount of money was worth it, I mean you need to gather cement chunks, scrap paper and walnut shells and glue that shit together and then turn around and sell it. Just seems like with the time spent doing all that the people involved could of just gotten a terrible job making ipods like the rest of china.
A chinese national once said to me,"Chinese,when it comes to business..
The only straight thing in their business is their hair."
Chick from Black Rock Shooter would give these to Matou...
Yeah, Kagari is a bitch
lol great april fools day present. no?
I concur with the use of such contrapation in humerous play upon my fellow gentlemen.
That said, this would be damn funny to use on a friend of mine who likes to show off that he can bite open stuff. He's gone through a walnut before, but never "this" kind of walnut hehe.
In Communist China...
WTF!?
-nuts crack you, or your teeth at least
A stunning testament to the Chinese confidence in their dentistry.
Ed Edd n Eddy learned their ways from China... True Fact Man!
Walnuts that not only break teeth but can break your wallets and your soul.
oh great! now I don't know whats more expensive; a sack of cement or a freakin bag of nuts.
This level of entrepreneurship is making me rolling on the floor.
Something tells me that whoever writes these articles are fucking racist against Chinese people.
Lol. Seems to be a prank.
Looks more like the Chinese version of innovation.
The Chinese have fake nuts!
I see what you've done there.
But at least their nuts aren't exploding yet! ;)
i beg to differ, case in point, the population. :)
It's obvious that these are fake Chinese goods. They haven't exploded yet.
