A Chinese Dim-Sum restaurant was caught selling buns filled with pork flavored cardboard.

The owner of the restaurant was frustrated with the growing price of Pork and decided to use the flavored cardboard instead. The scam was saving him about $130 a day.

The filling was prepared by soaking cardboard in water and caustic soda to make it look like pork and then adding pork flavor and fat.

Investigations of other Dim-Sum shops has begun to insure no other locations are using similar tricks.
