Found here, about three-quarters of the way down the page.
It’s possible, I suppose, that this is somehow imaged directly from a food stylist student’s cold-sweat nightmare just hours before a final exam.
Think of this: They actually had a marketing meeting at Rubbermaid, probably a fairly lengthy one, during which this photograph was shown, discussed, and approved, probably by all present. Amazing.

Ehhhh.. okay.
Bizarre indeed.
Personally, I never say “too much” when it comes to Elmer’s and key light-dried shards of coriander leaf slathered on my mostly unshucked corn.

The leaves are not parsley; which would be a stretch for most palates.

They are cilantro
(coriander leaves).

Somebody conducted a study of “Who likes cilantro?”
A considerable proportion do _not_ like the leaf, stem (stronger), or seed .. at all. The majority are amemable or indifferent.
Odd .. but .. these proclivities are hereditary.
And
I am one of those afflicted with that pesky little gene – OR6A2, which strengthens one’s detection of aldehydes and causes cilantro/coriander to taste a bit like soap to us. Julia Child harbored OR6A2, too. Her strategy: “Pick it out and throw it on the floor.”
