True False, Fake Real *

Ice Cream that hits the game of Simulacra

The idea: Ice-Cornet look a like Ice-Lolly

Once, I got this nice idea: Let's make a lolly-ice that looks like an ice-cornet. And I really liked that idea and thought about to sell it to Langnese (german ice-lolly producer) for millions of euros. But my friends convinced me of the fact that I might be the only person who would buy it.

Facts:

True False, Fake Real: The imitation of a cornet-ice (False), that is still an eatable ice (True). The nice surface of this ice-lolly (Real), that is a pastiche (Fake). You got it all. In some way it reminds me on Baudrillards thesis of simulacra. The image of the ice-cornet is a reflection of a basic reality, but also masks the absence of a basic reality. So, call it a 'first' and 'third' order simulacrum. The first 'real' simulacrum, ever?! No idea.
