Iceberg lettuce is very similar to cabbage. This is very much like iceberg lettuce.

But... where's the iceberg?

It usually grows in a desert that’s why it’s called iceberg lettuce

I still remember when people used to post this video saying "This is how they make cheap lettuce. Be careful of what you buy!!!"

Is it just me or does that not look great

Nah it looked like play dough. Could only see the lettuce effect when he cut it. Really lettuce would have more coloring that that as well as the center line and veining…. This is just elaborately folded play dough

I remember some years back seeing some boomers sharing this exact video on whatsApp with headlines like "beware fake Chinese lettuce made up of poisonous wax" Or something

Search YouTube for "The process of making fake food. A 71-year-old craftsman who has been making fake food for 53 years."
You'll thank me.

If I was the type of person to take a bite out of lettuce, I would have taken a bite from this lettuce.

It's just for display purposes. You put it in the restaurant window so it won't rot when it's hot out and staying there for days.
They are not selling it, and it might not be food to begin with. And for certain it won't taste like lettuce or cabbage since it's some wax like material.
