Fast Food: Compare and Contrast Ads vs. Reality »
Posted By _kam0_ 1 year, 7 months ago in StyleEach item was purchased, taken home, and photographed immediately. Nothing was tampered with, run over by a car, or anything of the sort. It is an accurate representation in every case. Shiny, neon-orange, liquefied pump-cheese, and all.

if the foods shown in this artical make anyone hungry, i feel really bad and sad for you. too, i do not see anything funny with the very poor quality and sanitary condition's in which these food's are prepared, any/all fast food's. however, there was a time when i did indulge because of their operating hour's and convenience, but after becoming very, very ill from food poisoning, from seven(7) different F.F. restaurant's, over a period of approximately five(5) year's i gave it up and valed never to spend one(1) cent ever again in any of these multi-billion dollar scam's. (my opinion)

I wonder are there are any figures on the food poisoning incidents last year with all of those places, plus the lovely rat infested video from KFC - did it affect the sales of fast food. Would be interesting to know if it did any substantial damage - or not.

I figure that by now, what I am shown on tv/magazines/billboards does not represent what I am going to get when I buy it. And I *know* this ahead of time. Frustrating, yeah, but what can you expect from cheap, fast food. It has been that way for years and I don't expect it to change anytime soon. I very rarely eat fast food but when I do I am never shocked by how unappetizing it all really seems to look. Plus, it makes MY cooking look better than it probably actually is!

They should all be sued for false advertisement! hahaha can you imagine if there was a picture of the sandwhich you were actually going to get, on the menu board??? god nobody would buy them! only things that look almost like the pictures are fries and pizzas. You know it takes quite a bit of time to photograph foods to get the right picture, a hamburger flipper isn't an artist!

Food stylists working on ads use all sorts of tricks to make their foods look more appealing, putting marbles at the bottom of soup bowls to make them look like they have more meat and vegetables in them, shellacking many food items to get them to glisten in that oh-so-appetizing way, actually taping or gluing food ingredients to appear more uniformly distributed in a dish, etc.
And don't get me started on what they do to live models!

Leave it to the neo-realists to come up with something like this. They ought all be made to eat the stuff.
