Everybody loves to eat at fast food joints, almost everyone.
Even the ads for these joints are really mouth watering.
Almost every ad that I've seen about them show those burgers and wraps bounce as they fall, with each filling landing on top of the other and ends with a close-up shot of it.
Never try to do that for real, you'll regret it.
The burgers never fall in place like the adverts, they fall head first and the toppings are everywhere except in the bun.
I'm not saying that I've tried it, but well you get the picture.
Another thing that bugs me is that the burgers never look the way it is advertised.
There's no steam coming out from it and it looks squishy instead of the juicier and stuffed version in the ad.
But no matter how it looks or how it is supposed to look, we all eat it.
Why?
Cause its addictive that's why.
I can't say same about home cooked food.
Home cooked meals are healthy, that's a given point.
That point is the opposite of what fast food is like.
Coming back to advertising.
It's not really an easy task showing food in the ad.
The whole point of the ad is to make the food look good.
Everyone who's involved with that knows that there's no way they can show the original product in the ad.
So what's their solution?
Show a fake.
It's not like you're gonna grab the food off your tv screens.
So, they won't even bother with showing the real product.
The food that they show in the ads is real.
The burger that you see is a proper one, with all fillings intact.
It's just that the elements aren't made up of what they say it is.
But believe me it does make you mouth water.
And that's when they know that they have done a good job.
Well, don't be disappointed that your burger isn't what it looks like in the picture.
Trust me you don't want to eat that.
Another thing that you can do is request them to make your burger look like the ad.
They really will!
You do have the right to ask them to make it look like a proper burger.
And they will do it for you.
They may have to put an extra effort of making sure the fillings are properly placed.
Then give it to you and there you have it, you own advertised burger.
It's a good thing you can't see their honest efforts, cause if you could, you might never wanna go back there again.
Hint: They add a bit of grease (spit) in your burger to make the burger look nice.
But since you asked for it, that's what you'll get.
Anyways, there's always the humble home cooked meal.
Bland and boring, but without the fear of having an unwanted element in your food.
In conclusion, this whole post was about me trying to answer your "unasked but might have come across my mind" question.
Why doesn't my fast food look like the ads?
My answer.
Why, indeed.....
