Someone has discovered and proven with photos that fast food looks better in the ads than in real life.
Really?
Years ago, I knew a bunch of genuine NYC foodies — not just people who like to cook but people who cover food in the media and promote certain brands in advertising.
Surprisingly, I could eat with them without their tearing every entree to shreds in well-reasoned attacks.
Some were food stylists, who make food look its yummiest in ads and on TV. When you realize that a vanilla custard cone is artfully sculpted shortening due to the need to withstand the effects of hot lights and the drip, drip, drip of a million needed re-shoots, you realize anything is possible. Your idea of a Big Mac won’t quite match reality. Yet The Big Mac may still be a tasty occasional meal, as long as you don’t overdo it.
Anyway, here is the link for the advertisement vs. reality comparison.
