Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality

[Nick VR4]

Pretty accaurate if you ask me at least with McDonalds one and Burger King

Last Big Mac I had looked like it was run over by a lorry :speechles/Grrr

Each 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.

I used to know someone who was involved in industrial/advertising photography. He once told me that the food in the photo is actually not food at all but a model !!! The food is apparently no good under the bright lights of the studio! Don't really touch that sort of stuff anyway but next time your in the states try a wendy's or a panda express.... Miles better than muckdonalds or burglerking!

I don't eat mcdonalds at all unless I'm really hungry and I can't find anyone else. Even then, I'll probably have chicken nuggets and chips rather than one of their burgers.

I quite like kfc, burger king and wendys though.

A friend of mine used to work at McDonalds and what he has told me is a bit scary. Imagine that the meat (if you can call it "meat") kept in deep freeze below -16 C it can be used for 50 (fifty) years!!! There must a tons of chemistry in it!
