Why Can't We Order What's On The Ad?

False advertising is rampant in the fast food industry. Have you ever seen your Burger King Whopper look exactly like it does in the commercials or print ads? NO! Have you ever seen your Taco Bell Crunchy Taco even remotely resemble its advertisements? NO! Though this reality hasn't stopped anyone (as far as I know) from repeat orders, we'll always be a little disappointed each time we unwrap our chicken sandwiches or cheeseburgers. 


A photographer-gone-blogger provides an extremely in depth comparison of what we are "promised" by fast food advertisements and what we actually receive. This type of blog post has been done before, but this particular post puts a professional spin on the Average Joe posts of the past. And still... the findings are gross...and small...and squished. Poor us.

Note: "Most Attractive Angle"
Also, I need to say it... where's the beef?!*
*Wrong fast food restaurant, same idea

Note: "Slightly Fluffed Up"
So sad.... but SUCH a reality.

Note: he asked for the Whopper to be built
to mimic the ads... makes you wonder:
Do they even have those ingredients?

And the winner is... McDonald's Big N' Tasty!
I was a bit curious if these restaurants owned
anything other than "shredded lettuce"...

How can you advertise something in "actual size" if it
legitimately cannot fit in it's allocated box?
Maybe that's why they always looked so squished?
Nah, probably not.

I'm going on a very long road trip to Canada this weekend, and I'll still order something from McDonald's. It might not look (at all) like the advertisement BUT at least it tastes like it's advertised. I know... that's subjective. 

POGS,
