Fake Israeli oranges in Iran

Jaffa orange

Oranges found on sale in Iran caused a controversy when it was discovered that they were branded as the world-famous Jaffa oranges, a product of Israel.

This was quite a concern for the authorities since commercial activities between Iran and Israel are completely banned.

The irony was revealed when further investigation found the oranges to originate from China instead of Israel. (Link)

It seems that Chinese replicas don’t just stop at watches, handbags or electronic goods. They’ve mastered the art of cloning fruits as well (no, not the one in the photo).

Wonder they don’t put their efforts in replicating oil.
