A vivid analogy/comparison I coined, describing being duped or hoodwinked; a tantalizing offer or prospect that turns out to be phony or empty.
It is comparing being duped to the imaginary but descriptive scenario of invited to someone's house for lunch and seeing an assortment of delicious looking food on the table, but then, upon being served, discover that it's only very realistic-looking playfood. It looks delicious, but it's a toy, a prop, only fake, nothing you can really eat. Similarly, if someone makes you a tempting offer that turns out to be phony, it too looks great, but it's nothing you can really act on, it's only fake.

"Bob offered to go into business for me, but today, he told me he decided he didn't want to do it. Boy, did THAT turn out to be nothing but playfood for lunch!"
"Suzanne, I want you to stop talking about marrying Carlos. Carlos doesn't want to marry you, OK? He views your relationship as a break in his routine and nothing else. When he talks about you two having a life together, he's just serving you playfood for lunch!"
"All the companies that offer instant weight-loss products are serving the public playfood for lunch."

Get the lunch his ass mug.a variation of the alaskan pipeline, the Fairbanks Lunchbox is the act of shitting in an unused or used condom (depending on preference), inserting a popsicle stick into the open end of the condom, and then placing it in the freezer. Once frozen, carefully remove the condom for optimal taste, then place the frozen fudge-sickle in the unsuspecting victim's lunchbox. Finally, be sure to witness the unveiling of the final product, and how the victim sinks his teeth into the first bite in anticipation of the sweet, chocolate taste, ultimately to much dismay. Estimated preparation time: 45 minutes
