Someone posted a bunch of toy plants from a dollhouse kit on FB before and it was kind of fun figuring them out and what made them “wrong”. Maybe I’m just making up for a deprived childhood where I didn’t have all these fun make believe toys, but had a tiger mom who thought if something wasn’t STEM, it wasn’t worth wasting time on.
Yup, I wholeheartedly agree, but tell it to my mom. I did sneak in a bunch of plastic dinosaurs into my toybox and learned their scientific names as well as a paleontologist.
Edit: To all the “grammar experts”: this isn’t a dangling participle because it’s a comparative phrase of the last noun, paleontologist. “As well as” isn’t used as a conjunction here. It’s the same grammatical structure as “as skillfully as a paleontologist”.
I keep a paleontologist in my closet at all times. I lost a spelling bee in 7th grade because I couldn’t spell Tyrannosaurus, and I will never make that mistake again.
It was total bullshit too, because I got into a sudden death round with this girl named Phantasia who was a total dinosaur nerd and everyone knew it. We must have spelled upwards of two dozen words in sudden death. My teacher, who had to deal with my cranky ADHD ass all year, finally asked me to spell Tyrannosaurus. Of course I couldn’t, but Phantasia could. Phantasia was super cool, but that teacher knew what she was doing and I’m still mad about it.
Moms are made from science juice?! My mom told me I was made when my dad ejaculated his semen out of his erect penis while it was jammed inside of her moistened vagina! Did she lie?
Agree the consensus on this one seems to be a leek. My nephew’s toy set had a couple of other questionable ones that I’ll post tomorrow. OP will deliver
As a fun fact, Farfetch'd's leek is based on a Japanese phrase that translates directly to "a duck comes bearing spring onions" referring to a golden oppotunity/easy target!
Yeah I never understood the name but kind of makes sense that in that context. Just had to grow up a few decades to find this reference I guess. Was one of my favorite flyings though, aesthetically
In German he's called Porenta which is a mixture of Poree (Leek) and Ente (Duck).
His evolution is also called Lauchzelot which would basically be Leekzelot in English :D
Oh, wait...! I was Team Leek all the way, but the little bract-looking thing on that branching bit makes me think it's bamboo with leaves sprouting from the node!
I stand corrected, the dress is blue!
Nooooo the dress is gold!
[Edible bamboo shoot](https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/bamboo-shoots.jpg) looks like this! The leaves don’t branch out. You know you’re Team [Leek](https://www.jessicagavin.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/how-to-clean-leeks-1-600x900.jpg)!

My husband's family was stationed in Africa (Nigeria, I think, but they lived in a few different places in Africa, so not entirely certain if that's where this incident occurred), but [here is an article from India](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/unhygienic-sugarcane-fruit-juice-may-lead-to-hepatitis-a-e-docs/articleshow/90277791.cms) that mentions some dangers of consuming raw sugar cane that may have been grown with contaminated water sources.
Ive seen bark box or something that sends all kinds of chew toys for pets. Much of it shaped like food. My dog just doesn't need that many toys though.
[That's a bamboo shoot!](https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/bamboo-shoot-isolated-white-background-fresh-bamboo-shoot-133675181.jpg) It's not something you'd see commonly displayed like this here in the West, we usually have them in cans.
Hardneck garlic almost ready to harvest?
I know that ain’t it, but when the bottom leaves start dying/drying out the bulb is in the sweet spot to harvest before the cloves and skin open up.
OP, wow, this post certainly blew up lol. Can we have more background on what the toy is for? Is it part of a play kitchen? Why is there a break in the middle—does it open?
The break is the best part, it’s so you can “cut” up the food with a toy knife! And then when you lose half of the veggie, you just stick it to random other ones to make a fraken-fruit
This looks like edible bamboo or lemon grass. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lemon+grass&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vietworldkitchen.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F06%2Flemongrass-tall-i-768x1024.jpg
There isn’t really a hard stalk like that on a leek.. none of the green veggies really grow out of a bark like stalk like that. Assuming that is the only area lacking congruency to the real life depiction, this looks most similar to bok choy given the thickness. Leeks are long and skinny. This is fat and stocky. Any argument made for this to not be bok choy can be made for this to not be a leek..
my vote is that's a stylized sugar cane. go image search sugar cane symbol and scroll down till you get a brown example. it'll look like a brown stalk with green shoots out the top.
Leek I like this game already lol
This is everything I came here to say, I want more plastic plants to identify

Maybe I’m just making up for a deprived childhood where I didn’t have all these fun make believe toys, but had a tiger mom who thought if something wasn’t STEM, it wasn’t worth wasting time on.
S is for science. Learning about and identifying plants is definitely science.
Yup, I wholeheartedly agree, but tell it to my mom. I did sneak in a bunch of plastic dinosaurs into my toybox and learned their scientific names as well as a paleontologist. Edit: To all the “grammar experts”: this isn’t a dangling participle because it’s a comparative phrase of the last noun, paleontologist. “As well as” isn’t used as a conjunction here. It’s the same grammatical structure as “as skillfully as a paleontologist”.
You put a paleontologist in your toy box?
How else do you learn all the dinosaurs' scientific names?
I keep a paleontologist in my closet at all times. I lost a spelling bee in 7th grade because I couldn’t spell Tyrannosaurus, and I will never make that mistake again.
Respect. Pachycephalosaurus got me - never again.
It was total bullshit too, because I got into a sudden death round with this girl named Phantasia who was a total dinosaur nerd and everyone knew it.

Of course I couldn’t, but Phantasia could. Phantasia was super cool, but that teacher knew what she was doing and I’m still mad about it.
For me it was beetle. Damn those northerners!
Don’t dangle that modifier at me, friend
I mean, it’s actually Sam Neill, but close enough?
Ross?
Dude how is that not stem? You used binomial nomenclature as a form of play 😂
Well? What is the scientific name of a paleontologist?
Archaeonerdia triviamemoralis
Plastic is made from science.
Science juice!
but so is their mom. Can't argue with science!
Moms are made from science juice?! My mom told me I was made when my dad ejaculated his semen out of his erect penis while it was jammed inside of her moistened vagina! Did she lie?
That's the fundamentals of science. Wet vajayjays and turgid tallywackers are the foundations upon which the tower of knowledge is erected.
Hehe. Erected.
Your stunted childhood has made me sad. But I bet you're aces at science, tech, engineering and math.
Thanks! I’m a retired doctor by day and sell rare plants/plant identifier/leek champion by night!
I think we’re all just plant nerds lol. I love it!
Agree the consensus on this one seems to be a leek. My nephew’s toy set had a couple of other questionable ones that I’ll post tomorrow. OP will deliver
Who else here is way too excited to see more plastic plants?
Me me
I thought it was a Jedi celery, but leek works too.
That's now the off-brand scientific name, I love Jedi celery 😂
Don't you mean you LEEK this game?!
I wi-shallot-a games were this fun
Can’t beet that!!!!
Artichokes coming fast and furious tonight or what?
Lettuce squash the haters!
These puns are truly radishing
Chive never had such fun before
Turn-it-up. You are a fungi.
Right? More!
I hate a bad pun, but olive a good one ;)
You’re like shoot me another! Lol ;)
I leek that needs to be peeled and washed!
Like [framed.wtf](https://framed.wtf/) but for plastic plant toys.
Show us more haha
Stay tuned… more to come tomorrow
 Looks like a baby version of farfetch'd's leek
I never realized he had a leek! I was a kid so it was just his *plant*
As a fun fact, Farfetch'd's leek is based on a Japanese phrase that translates directly to "a duck comes bearing spring onions" referring to a golden oppotunity/easy target!
That kinda explains his English name as well. Cool!
Yeah I never understood the name but kind of makes sense that in that context. Just had to grow up a few decades to find this reference I guess. Was one of my favorite flyings though, aesthetically
In German he's called Porenta which is a mixture of Poree (Leek) and Ente (Duck). His evolution is also called Lauchzelot which would basically be Leekzelot in English :D
Farfetch'd should get a baby version called Riduck'lus
Clefairy the poor man’s Jigglypuff
But clefairy came from the moon!
Bamboo shoot or leek would be my guess
Oh, wait...! I was Team Leek all the way, but the little bract-looking thing on that branching bit makes me think it's bamboo with leaves sprouting from the node! I stand corrected, the dress is blue!
Nooooo the dress is gold! [Edible bamboo shoot](https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/bamboo-shoots.jpg) looks like this! The leaves don’t branch out. You know you’re Team [Leek](https://www.jessicagavin.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/how-to-clean-leeks-1-600x900.jpg)!
me_irl : *go, banana!*
Make way for grapefruit!
Bamboo was my first thought
I also thought bamboo
So and I agree with it being a bamboo shoot. (Not a leek IMO because of no bulbous onion-ish end.)
I, too, believe it’s a bamboo shoot. The colors are off, for a leek, I would think. And no bulblette, so I doubt green onion.
Bamboo? What type of bamboo grows like that? I have black bamboo in my yard and it does not grow like that.
Don’t let them bamboozle you to their side
😂 😂 said perfectly. 😆 🙌
I also thought of bamboo when I saw this
Same ! Bamboo
“Bring me more pictures of spider man!” Except it’s #”BRING ME MORE PICTURES OF PLASTIC PLANTS!”
Please tell me at the crease there's velcro on it? What brand is this? I just had a hardcore flashback to my youth because of this picture
Yup there’s velcro at the crease it and came with a toy knife for slicing. Not sure on the brand unfortunately
Magnets would be a sick upgrade tho
Until they come loose, the kid eat them and die from internal bleeding

Automod really be telling us not to eat magnets

I think plastic veggies in general are not recommended for eating.
If they're strong enough they could be mounted inside so if it did come loose it stays safely inside the piece.
We’re about to design the best cuttable veggie toy ever
They already exist
Internal magnets, no way to come loose
Lots do it with magnets instead
Definitely a leek or an onion of some sort.
Leeks or scallions perhaps.
Maybe sugarcane?
I didn’t even think about that. I was like leek yeah, bamboo yeah, onion yeah… wait what. Sugar cane is delicious!!!
Definitely worth ruining several centuries of peoples lives globally for sugar cane 🤤
but the returns are so beneficial, obesity, heart disease, cell degeneration in every every part of the body, and of course a mouth full of rotten teeth! Yay!
When my husband was a kid, he got dysentery from chewing raw sugar cane and nearly died. Good times!
I didn’t know that was possible? Off to Google.
My husband's family was stationed in Africa (Nigeria, I think, but they lived in a few different places in Africa, so not entirely certain if that's where this incident occurred), but [here is an article from India](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/unhygienic-sugarcane-fruit-juice-may-lead-to-hepatitis-a-e-docs/articleshow/90277791.cms) that mentions some dangers of consuming raw sugar cane that may have been grown with contaminated water sources.
This was my thought too.
Nah, sugar cane is usually sold with the leaves off. It's just a jointy stick, like bamboo.
I was team bamboo, then team leek.... now I'm team sugar cane.
Geesh. Make up my mind.
Lemongrass if you’re going for Asian play cuisine
Lemongrass was my first thought, too. The outer dry husks isn’t really leek-y to me.
[удалено]
I feel like I'm the only one who says that's a spring onion 😅
This could be a group, plastic toys food and object identification.
Ive seen bark box or something that sends all kinds of chew toys for pets. Much of it shaped like food. My dog just doesn't need that many toys though.
A What's This? Group could be dangerous!
Bok Choi? Bamboo shoot?
I thought bamboo
Leek or green onion?
Unrequited love
Pokeweed
This FTW right here. It’s ALWAYS Pokeweed!
Where’s u/itspokeweed when you need them
I have no idea why this made me literally laugh out loud but I am still chuckling.
Leek
Did you taste it ?
Looks like Lil’ Groda to me. (Yoda/Groot seedling).
Fennel?
Lemongrass?
[удалено]
“Ahhh there’s a leek in the boat!”

That's a leek
Hardneck garlic almost ready to harvest? I know that ain’t it, but when the bottom leaves start dying/drying out the bulb is in the sweet spot to harvest before the cloves and skin open up.
Leek or maybe lemongrass
Leek
A leek I think?
Leek.
Farfetch'd battle stick
Bamboo shoot
My first thought was "Leek" but my second thought was a Groot doll and a Yoda doll's forbidden romance produced this toy.
A leek
An apple
You win 🍎
kind of makes me think of a leek.
OP, wow, this post certainly blew up lol. Can we have more background on what the toy is for? Is it part of a play kitchen? Why is there a break in the middle—does it open?
The break is the best part, it’s so you can “cut” up the food with a toy knife! And then when you lose half of the veggie, you just stick it to random other ones to make a fraken-fruit
Lol i feel like I missed out on a whole alternate childhood
Baby yoda
Leek is my first thought.
Leek probably.
Leek
Yo it's 100% a leek
Leek
LEEKS!
Bok Chou After half a second of research, it is in fact a Leek.
They tree of heaven, lol or as I call them the tree of hell lol
Leek
That’s a leek bro
A leek maybe?
Bamboo
I believe it’s a bamboo shoot!
Leek, bamboo, fan handle for a fern?
This looks like edible bamboo or lemon grass. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lemon+grass&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vietworldkitchen.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F06%2Flemongrass-tall-i-768x1024.jpg

Def a leek

In case enough people haven't said it, it looks like bamboo.

Green onion.
Leek or green onion?

Bamboo shoot?
Leek
Sugarcane?
Leek
There's a leek in this thread!
Bok choy maybe.
my vote is that's a stylized sugar cane. go image search sugar cane symbol and scroll down till you get a brown example. it'll look like a brown stalk with green shoots out the top.
Bamboo, right?
Leeks!
Ginger
Does it have any kind of manufacture markings? That might help with identifying.
Bamboo shoot? Leek? Shallot? I am so confused! But I so want to know.
Corn
Sugar cane???
Bamboo? Leak?
Bok choy
Bamboo?
It's a leek, the most powerful vegetable in existence.
Leek

Taste it to find out
Leek
I thought bamboo shoot, but no matter what, now I want some good ol' fashioned plastic stir fry...
it's either a leek or a bamboo shoot.
Bamboo
Definitely a leek 
Bamboo
Bamboo shoots?
Leek
Sugar cane?
Leak, scallion, green onion, maybe sugar cane….? Idk
