Could this be real? There’s a certain amount of water allowed to be injected, we all know that. You can already see through the plastic packaging that it doesn’t have a solid meat shape of a ribeye steak.
FYI I"m 99% sure they sell that “rib eye” steak at my local dollar store. No joke. I remember seeing “steaks” in the fridge case so I had to check out what kind of steak you could buy for $1., pretty sure that was the brand.

But it’s OK to be called “ribeye”/“sirloin” etc? Well, for a buck they (the producer) can say “what the hell do you expect?”.
Yeah maybe they should have called it “Rib-I” steak. lol
True story, I use to own a restaurant called The Manhattan Steak House, I was being threatened with a law suit over the name, so I incorporated the name " The Man Hat On Steak House" and said, go ahead and sue me, I’ll just use my new corporation. They eventually dropped the suit.
If this is in Asia I think I’ve heard of that. They have a plumber come squat by your table and you keep the wine secure in the plumbers crack instead of a wine bucket or holder. You know those crazy Asians!!
I think I was at that place in Taipei a long time ago… but I really don’t remember that night very well.

So, I’m not the only one being juvenile.
Some products have funny names in non-English speaking countries.

O.m.g.! Almost like in Chile. I don’t eat mayo and when ordering in Chile I had to mention “sin mayonesa, por favor” knowing they put it on just about everything. And not just a little bit, no. Half a jar on your food, plus on the side in case you need more.

@Babette, I’ve seen it before somewhere else but the photos are not as nice as in your link. One of the reasons I can’t live with other people.
Oldie but goodie. Love Far Side.
Corn, for instance. Anything that has (high) sugar content can be used to make alcohol.
