Now you know why food photographers make the big bucks. I actually used to go into McD's and BK with an ad in my pocket, order my food, ask to see the manager, showed him the ad and the food, and say "I want one that looks like that. They'd invariably custom-cook one for me and dress it nicely :-)

The crazy stuff that food photogs do to food to make it look nice.

Lipstick on strawberries to make them red. Painting an undercooked turky or chicken with a stain to make it look juicy AND cooked. Elmers glue for milk. Frozen lard for ice cream, coz it won't melt.sorting through a 200lb or oranges, looking for the best 2.

You should not be eating that junk anyway, get some real food.

we just had McDonalds for dinner and it was disgusting... why do we keep going back.. i just dont get it

01/04/2006 04:46:54 AM · #8

The reason we go back is because they get us when we are young and then we get hooked on it and even if it isnt nice we can't register that so then when we are older we take our kids and it starts again...

this does not sound right lol ahhh well.

I eat a lot of cheeseburgers and I gotta say that mine generally always look like the ad. Except you can generally never see the mustard, pickle and ketchup that well.

Bear I have so often been tempted to look in disgust at what is slapped down in front of me at any of the fast food chains and ask them to give me one that looks like the one up on their sign board, I am surprised that someone hasnt sued one of them for false advertising LOL Glad that you do that. I have to say I dont often eat fast food but always regret spending good money afterwards and vow never to do it again!!

Take a look at the nutritional information and proceed with caution. They're your arteries...

You can always order the Fish, Chicken, or a Salad too you know! ;^) Besides, they take credit cards now - hooray!

Yeah, some of the salads have more fat and calories than a Big Mac.

Get yourself a salmon cucumber sandwich (from a store or DIY). Tastes great, healthier and just as expensive as a big mac. Wash away with some refreshing water instead of the usual sodas that make you fart and burp the whole day.

Also prefer Subway subs over any burger, but you don't have many of those places over here.

Ya know, farting and burping all day can be a great way to get people to leave you alone so that you can actually get work done.

Good thing I rarely eat their salads (at McDonalds anyway). ;^)

Now, given a McDonalds versus a Subway...Subway wins by a mile! Of course, you can clog your arteries fairly easily there as well if you're not careful.

Oh, the heck with eating out...how about a PB&J with a cold glass of milk?

Where I work they tend to fart back two times as hard and add some 'Big' Stink to it.
