You know how in the ad the meat glistens and looks all juicy? They paint it with wood varnish. The burger stands up with all the ingredients neatly spread out because there's cardboard spacers between them.

You wouldn't actually want to eat the burger in the ad. It isn't food.

Similarly, pancakes don't have syrup on them. They pour motor oil over them so it doesn't absorb and looks better in the picture. They put the cardboard under them, too, to make them fluff up better.

Food chains cutting so many corners it's practically a circle

We need that Japanese law where what you see on the cover is exactly what you get.

I'm sick of the expectation vs reality bs

Had this thought last night when Zaxby's showed it's Philly chicken sandwich thing. No way it looks as good as it does on TV
