- Dalewyn 4y agoI've seen behind-the-scenes stories of how those burger shots are made. They are very real photos of very real burgers, what isn't real is how the burger is assembled for the shot as compared to the burgers we eat.
- wongarsu 4y agoMcDonalds menus are real photos, just not of the things they are supposed to portray. There are lots of tricks to making burgers look good in photos, and the end result isn't edible, even if you take out the cardboard slices that make it look bigger.
- Akronymus 4y agoThe cardboard slices may very well be the most edible part about them.
- expertentipp 4y agoMake an experiment. Take a fast food "meal" back home, put it on a plate with cutlery and pour drinks into a glass, remove all branding and packages. Would you eat this or a cardboard?
- Akronymus 4y agoI meant of the photo pieces. Most of the parts of a photography burger are literally inedible.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoAren't there laws against this sort of thing? I have distict memories of learning in high school that food advertisements have to use real food and can't use trickery to make it look different. I seem to remember watching some with Rick Mercer in it, but hat might be wrong.
