Fast Food Reality [PICS]

Sure, you can't expect that much for a burger that is delivered in less than three minutes but give me a break people, false advertisement is false advertisement. If you are going to advertise sexy full figured burgers don't give me a squashed beef patty with some sort of material that is supposed to pass as cheese.

The whole false advertisement it often blown out of proportion, just as freedom of speech is.

I really don't care what the picture looks like. I know what I'm going to be served, and I'm more concerned with how it tastes than how it looks.

You expect a burger to look exactly like it does in a picture? That's never happened and never will in fast food. That's why it's "Fast Food" and not a "Diner"

I too can find the worst possible realistic examples of foods and compare them to the best possible example which are used in commercials. I've had plenty of Arby's sandwiches and they are not usually all squashed like that. It's also kind of disingenuous to single out fast food here since basically every restaurant does this, fast food or not. Of course they dress everything up for television.

I love the false connection between how neat and orderly the foods looks and its health value anyway. Either way that stuff is mostly pretty unhealthy. :P

If you actually expect to order something and have it look exactly like the pictures show it, then you must not get out much.

This one is my favorite...

Whopper

What happened to that Whopper? Look at how crushed it is!

The guy that made it must have had hands like this...

Huge Hands

"Rah! Here's your burger."

You might also say a car with permanent white paint splashed over it still has the same functional quality.

I actually think sometimes that when things are thrown on the sandwich, they taste better, and feel more appetizing. Maybe it is an overweight person's thinking, I do not know.

what he said I mean this food is being served by people making minumum wage and you are paying less than that for the food sometimes and you expect them (us) to care about whether or not the food looks like the commercial?

When you buy a cheap car, you don't care what it looks like. When you buy cheap food, you don't care what it looks like. If I'm buying a $20 steak, I want it to look like it does in the pictures. But when I buy a $2 hamburger, I don't get as picky as to what it looks like.

Food photography is an art. It is freaking hard to do. If you don't know what you are doing it looks worse than it does when you are just looking at it. My beef n' cheddars never look that bad. Sometimes they are a little squished, but not that squished.

I agree with this. It's slightly more expensive, but it looks and tastes great.

I'd give Chic-Fil-A the number two spot.
