That's actually kind of sad when you look at it that way... I wonder how long they spend making those display burgers look so perfect?

Sausage McMuffin and Filet o Fish look pretty similar.
This makes me want to quit fast food =/

Rodeo Cheeseburger all the way, though. BBQ sauce is beer goggles for burgers.

This reminds me of a great scene from 'Falling Down'.

  

The last minute is the particular part, but the whole scene - and movie for that matter - is brilliant.

Lol, Epic Failure. I notice that stuff with easy to cook meals too, well practically everything you buy at the grocery store.

A lot of them look like someone just sat on the food that's in the picture on the left.

For what it's worth, the ads are usually fake food.  They use something that will look perfect through multiple shots.

That was the first thing I thought of. I really enjoyed that film but that scene particularly because that actually happened to me one time when I got refused a breakfast about 2 minutes too late. Shame I never had a bag of stolen guns with me.

Of course, they would look differently. If they look exactly like real food then no one would buy it.

I remember reading about the stuff they did in fast food ads in Zillions (Consumer Reports for Kids) back in the 90's.

I always wonder why people are surprised their food doesn't look like it does in the ad. Are they that stupid to believe it will?

It's ironic because the food on the left looks perfect and tastier, but it's just a picture. Not only has it been worked on digitally but the food itself is altered soley for visual purposes.
Truth of the matter is that the food on right is the one that tastes better.

And honestly what kind of society are you apart that you don't eat food because it's ugly?

Am I a bad person if those pictures made me hungry? None of that's news to me so I settle for a sloppy cheese burger.

Luckily im not in america so they still make quality food here.

Im always amazed at how terrible american fast food looks like, I mean really, do they try to make them badly or what?

The stuff ive gotten from Mcdonalds here looks exactly like the picture on the left....

What the food looks like is not that important anyways when you're only going to look at it for like 5 seconds.

Wow, some of those really aren't looking so great. However I live in the UK and I've found that the McDonalds and Burger King outlets over here serve in general pretty well presented burgers.

to be fair you see this everywhere. action figures look incredibly detailed in pictures and then the boxed ones have half the detail. videogame pictures are usually doctored or rendered at a resolution you wont have. its just marketting

This is what I like about Subway. It generally does look like it is meant to, they don't need to fake reality especially considering they are generous with the fresh salad options to go in the sandwich.
