Just in case you wanted to eat fast food... "Ad vs. Reality"

I was looking for a picture of a Sausage McMuffin so that I could layer my "Egg" McVegan (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=5087.0) in the correct McOrder (yep, it's important!) and I came across this...

I thought, "Wow! That'll squelch some cravings!"
So there you go! Lucky you! Truth with a Craving Buster packed right in. :)
This topic reminded me of the 30,000 calorie sandwhich...

I'm so proud to be a vegan right now....
That was so disgusting!

Sadly.... even the righthand pictures still look good to me. :'( :P
I had seen a couple of tv programs where they talked about food styling for ads and I *think*, from what I heard, that the main thing you're advertising has to be real. Everything else, the berries on the cereal or whatever can be fake but the food itself has to be real.
That's what fascinates me about this. They used to be able to advertise ice cream and they made it out of wax, or something. But they can't do that anymore so if ice cream is the subject, they have to get it right and do it quick or the lights will kill the shot and they have to do it all over again.
Seems like an awful waste and I don't know if the same rules apply in other places around the world. I just loved the shows where the gal had to stand in a freezer for 6 hours just to make a sundae for a mag. shoot and then had to bring it out for 3 minutes, or something, before it melted. I think it sounds like fun. :)

OMG. I know that is supposed to be funny/interesting (?), but I found myself getting really pissed off while looking at that guy's pictures & reading his comments. What an incredible selfish waste. Plus, how disgusting. Ugh. >:(

Also, for those of you who liked the Alli comments, I BEG you to look at this page:

I read this at work the other day, and was literally shaking, sweating & crying from laughing so hard (and trying to be quiet while reading it!). ;D :D I loooove it!
P.S. I had no idea there were so many websites making fun of that "alli" pill! ;D Ew.
;D ;D ;D
that is so hilarious jessacita!!
i esp love the part where the company tells ppl to wear dark pants as to hide the *ahem* stains. i was always suspicious of black pant wearers ???
one of the most disgusting things i see is ppl drinking milk. it totally turns my stomach. i saw somewhere that the milk mixture in those "got milk" ads, to make a milk mustache, uses a mix of milk, cream, SOUR CREAM and other stuff.
now, im still LO, but the thought of drinking it... ugh!
