[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"][QUOTE="soulfood4"]Everyone of those burgers looked like someone sat on them, but go to Hardees there bugers look the same as the advertisment.Optical_Order

Hardee's is the best fast food restaurant.

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.

In N out ftw

I can't believe the number of ignorant responses in this thread. "Get used to it" "That's just the way it is" "Duh I've known this for years" People have become so desensitised to fast food's corporate tactics that they don't even care about the gobs of blatant false advertising that is thrown at them, and are even defending the fast food chains who serve them that fattening garbage. People should expect more from huge corporations, not have such low standards, and not be so complacent with their corporate trickery

Well what do you want to see? Reality? We all know it's stupid and the way they advertise isn't true, but the fact is that if they tell us the truth, it won't be appealing at all. And besides, they taste great, so who cares?dreDREb13
They taste great? Really? A KFC Famous Bowl and a Big Mac are your idea of a culinary success? "If they tell us the truth, it won't be appealing at all" How about, instead of advertising their garbage, they start actually making their food as fresh and filling as it looks in the advertisements.

I live in New Zealand and I've never, not even once got anything from the big fast food corps that resembles anything in those pictures. The meals I have bought look as close to the picture as one can get when making the meal in a rush but are alot smaller. I've known some people that work for mcdonalds and if they made something looking that gross then there supervisor wouldnt allow it to be sold. Guess everything is stricter over here.

They have food stylists 'sculpt' the food for the advertisment, and some stylists may spend hours just getting it to look right. Do you honestly expect a team of fast food workers to deliver picture perfect hamburgers during a lunch rush?

Yes, they do taste great. He never said that he thought they were culinary success, that's just putting words in his mouth. But they do taste good for sure. :)

That's called appalling bad service here in New Zealand, I am impressed how the food here looks exactly like on the ad's.

Whatever. I'd eat most of those. And the ones I wouldn't eat are because I don't like them to begin with, not because they don't look like the advertisement picture.

This thread reminds me of this article about celebrities' before and after photoshop pictures

Ha, I feel like the person who took those pics seriously messed around with the food beforehand. How often have any of you gotten a burger that looked like someone sat on it?

I couldn't care less what it looks like, I go there to eat cheap tasty food, not admire its aesthetic appeal, not to mention this is hardly news, everyone knows that the meal looks nothing like advertised, they're hardly deceiving anyone.

A lot of those weren't too bad, on a few of them the only major difference was that the cheese was melted that beef and cheese sandwich from that arby's place looked like crap though.

Some of those look completely different from the advertised picture but it's expected, I mean it's cheap fast food what do you expect? Oh and the Filet o Fish looks the same to me.

At least the pic of the real Big mac looked better than what I've been getting. It always look like they've put the box across the room and thrown the ingredients on - it's always a sloppy mess >_>
