I remember a story of someone adding plastic noodles to their cheap noodle packs. I also thought that there was no way in hell they were saving money by doing that - the only way it makes sense is if the market is growing faster than production, so there's a "demand" for totally fake product, which I suppose has been true of most of China for the last fifty years. It's why the current government makes anti-corruption into such a big deal.
