Hufu

Hufu is a product that was marketed as a healthy and legal alternative to human flesh for cannibals who want to quit, as well as a product for anthropologists studying cannibalism. The product was available for purchase online from 2005 to 2006.

History

The idea for Hufu was conceived by Mark Nuckols, a student at Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. Nuckols stated that the idea came to him while reading Good to Eat: Riddles of Food and Culture by Marvin Harris, a book about cannibalism, while eating a tofurkey sandwich.

Product

Hufu was marketed as having the taste and texture of human flesh, although the actual composition of the product is unknown. The product was designed to be used in a variety of dishes, including stews, chilis, and barbecues.

Reception

The product received mixed reviews. Some found the concept of Hufu to be humorous, while others found it to be distasteful and offensive. Despite the controversy, Hufu gained a cult following and was featured in several media outlets, including CNN, Fox News, and The Daily Telegraph.

Discontinuation

Hufu was discontinued in 2006 due to poor sales. Nuckols stated that the product was not profitable and that he had no plans to bring it back.
