That's so bizarre! I've never even considered the way ice cream looks, just how it tastes!

those grill lines are more than likely manufactured anyway since technically thats carcinogenic stuff

Thor, I too prefer slop... but really that's only when I or someone else that I actually know makes the slop (so that way I know exactly what's in it).
How many chickens did they have to kill for that?
 
But...Big Macs look good on TV, but they look like lettuce burgers when you get them.

You never see tomato butts on the sandwich either in the commercials or the picture at the restaurant.  That's one of the things that annoys me the most.  I want a nice tomato slice like the picture.   Save the butts or ends to slice up for the salads.]]> Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:42:15 +0000 http://www.commercialsihate.com/food-that-looks-better-on-commercial_topic4287_post75431.html#75431 Food that looks better on commercial : Yup.

Yup.
'Plastic Food'
Created problems when it came to 'Sushi' (after a few cocktails...Confused), but never a problem when the food was still crawling or wiggling...one tended to look for 'spots', or well...tumors, then.

If you ever visit Japan, many (most?) of the restaurants have a glass display right next to the front door, where you can view it from the sidewalk.

However, the difference to the advertised food that is the subject of this thread, is that the display case fakes in Japan are very often difficult to distinguish from the real thing. Side by side, you have to look for things like steam rising, food juices slowly seeping, things like that, not counting trying to stick chopsticks or a fork into it! Wink


Hehe... I remember the plastic food! Although it's really only the 'ethnic style cuisine' that uses this advertising method. The more traditional restaurants don't (and maybe that's because they don't need to?)
