What you see isn't what you get...

I recently came across the article Fast-Food Ads vs. Reality on the AOL Finance & Money site and thought I would share since it provides great examples of what we learned in class about advertisements and visual literacy (by the way- this wiki on Wikipedia could use some sprucing up too). I find it amusing that even though we know fast-food companies are sucking us in with these "false" ads of inedible food, most of us are willing to consume the "real" version without a second thought. No one ever usually says, "Hey, this is not what the picture looks like. I want a refund." We eat it anyway, forget about it until we see that mouth watering commercial again, and go right back knowing what we see isn't what we'll get yet again. Now that I am "visually literate", it frustrates me that the look of the food in contrast to the advertisement doesn't bother me. I can't really explain why except, simply put, they got me. I'm hungry now...

[yutubeguest44444]

and PETA members try to stop me from hunting by holding a gun and nife to my head?

[Czaendermajer]

@yutubeguest44444 they offer no solution, i would clone meat, equally as the army can grow substitute limbs to repair maimed veterans (but they dont cause they are douche bags and artificial limbs make too much money), people dont do their research,

[Kyle210210]

@Czaendermajer and they cost more you dumb fuck

[Czaendermajer]

@Kyle210210 cars used to cost more than horses, plasma screens used to cost more than TV's, but since the technology was developed, it is now cheaper than cleaning horse shit or adjusting the TV antenna.

All food in print and comercial advertisments is groomed by profesional food preparers. their job is to make food look great in pictures and on tv. they meticulously primp and fluff and place so food looks delicious.no fast food restaurant could ever make food to look like that in the time required. fast food is cooked and slopped together by apathetic pimple faced teens out to make a buck.

@spjunkie In Mexico Whe I order a Burger King Whopper is just like in the picture :)

[JJtoob]

@colts182411 Most likely throw it away, I figure sometimes they brush stuff with oil to make it look shiny, and sometimes it's not even real food.

[Kyle210210]

@Czaendermajer You're a fucking idiot.

[1JOHNBEAVERS]

Burger King always make there burgers sloppy as hell and it looks disgusting.

[ToaZZy]
