Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lemon Demon's "Toy Food" describe a long list of various food items, from drumsticks to baguettes, croissant to taco shells, and ice cream to potatoes. However, the song is not a culinary ode to these edibles, but rather is a playful commentary on the intersection of food and play. The refrain of the song ("like real food but is toy, not real food, do not eat") makes this concept clear: these food items are not meant to be consumed, but rather are plasticized recreations of real-world edibles.


The song can be interpreted as warning against the dangers of mistaking toy food for real food and vice versa. The lyrics emphasize repeatedly that toy food is not real and should not be eaten. The song celebrates the joy of play ultimately while also urging caution and responsibility in the consumption of food in the real world. The playful tone and catchy refrain of "Toy Food" make it a fun listen, while its underlying message is an important one.

Here’s what would happen if a grown man ate toy food
1. The food would start to deform
2. The plastic would start to break apart
3. The edges would become sharp and jagged
4. The lining of your gums would start to tear exposing the interior
5. Your throat would be flooded with dangerous sharp plastic and you will have massive agony
6. The digestive system will attempt to melt the plastic giving the lining a solid cut
7. You will have to crap out toy food because it isn’t digestible

Neil is an anomalous entity of the internet, he's remained relevant and low-profile for 2 decades, he's literally the longest-active internet celebrity as far as I can tell
