PrintFast Food: Ads vs. Reality
Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality contrasts the slickly styled and photographed foods in advertisements versus what the products actually look like: "Each item was purchased, taken home, and photographed immediately. Nothing was tampered with, run over by a car, or anything of the sort. It is an accurate representation in every case. Shiny, neon-orange, liquefied pump-cheese, and all." I can tell you from personal experience that KFC's Famous Bowl looks horrific in person but actually tastes okay, provided that like me you love fast food fried chicken. Your mileage may of course vary. [thanks, Andrew!]
