fake vomit

Novelty gag prop

Fake vomit is a novelty gag item—a rubbery or gelatinous object molded and colored to resemble regurgitated food.

A staple of joke shops and childhood pranks, it's placed somewhere conspicuous to disgust the unsuspecting: Someone left fake vomit on the teacher's chair.

The humor relies entirely on the initial moment of revulsion before recognition.
