Food Ad Tricks

[Sharon]

Ever wonder why that tasty looking burger in the ad never looks like the flat mess you get from the wrapper or box?

Once you know you'll never want to eat it.

Food on TV never looks good to me. They should invent smell-o-vision - THAT would make me want a flame broiled Whopper.

I read once where they use a mixture of paste/paint/water to look like milk, because real milk poured on cereal looks thin, gray and disgusting on TV.

Hershey's is advertising a new line of chocolates with air bubbles in it. I haven't had a chance to compare prices at the store, but it wouldn't surprise me that the air-filled chocolate costs as much if not more than regular chocolate. Less chocolate . Now you're paying for air.

I don't care for Red Lobster that much but their ads look mouthwatering...The way the melted butter rolls of that big ole shrimp..

I went to mcdonalds for once for breakfast and I ordered their ham and cheese sandwich (which was pictured on the board). When I got it, it had one lazer thin piece of ham and a piece of cheese on it. I took it back and was like "does this look like that" and the cashier said "no, I don't think so" and then I got a sandwich quadruple the size.

What's up with the "half a cheese thing." every filet of fish I get (no matter at what mcdonalds) has half a slice of cheese on it. I consider that false advertising too (not that you really need cheese with fish).
