Taco Bell's nacho look like mini cooper though.

I don't get it what's the big deal?

did you seriously expect the food in Ads to be like what you actually get?
when's the last time you ate any food that looked as good as the commercials (fast food, red lobster, chili's, applebees, etc)

You do realize, they "touch" up the foods when they film commercials or take pics for ads right?

Like they add paint or glaze to make them look like they are more colourful or shinier
And obviously they'll pick the best piece of lettuce or the best shaped burger bun when making ads

you can't expect the restaurants to have the same fresh looking lettuce everytime, food doesn't grow the same anyways

Yeah and you can't really expect the foods to look just like the ads because they are made so quickly.

i saw the people making those foods for advertisements on tv
sometimes they don't even use real food and just use food 'props' and all these touch ups

besides, it's frozen then heated up
so it can't rly retain its shape and color

LOL. Did you know they don't actually cook the food? For pictures, they always either cook it half way or don't cook it at all, and then they add some touch-ups to make it look nice.

Uh you do know people probably have spent hours making that one fake burger right? And most of it isn't even real.

Advertising is suppose to make the food look good ..
Whenever I go to fast food places, I would always compare the food I got to the food in the ads xD.
The Wendy's Chicken Club looks really disgusting ph34r.gif

LOL at Arby's and Wendy's pics haha
I don't really care about how my sandwich/meal looks except when it happens that someome have spat on it, or have trampled on it.
Actually, for me, the worst is opening the sandwich to see how does it look like inside and then think about what's really in (cook's personnal added thing or not)

That's why you can't judge a book by it's cover, the reality is different!

The Burger king enormous omelet sandwich looks horrible, so far the worst. Bleh, I don't trust ads anyways.

Agreed. Some of em may look kinda gross but some of em actually do taste good.

LOL I don't think it's the kind of food that you should eat for every meal though. @_@
