FALSE

I'm wondering if this is photoshopped or real.





 

Origins:   The frog in the above-displayed picture might possibly be extra crunchy, but he's definitely not pickled (and likely not kosher). This image is a product of digital manipulation, the winner in a Worth1000.com Photoshop contest entitled Obvious Tampering ("When product tamperers get lazy").
