    ^^ I actually thought the Arby's Melt and the Whopper looked the worst.

    While I thought the KFC famous bowl actually looked better than the ad picture.

    The Subway Ad sandwich had pepperoni on it it looks like. Subway subs are made right in front of you too so I don't think they're applicable. If you're that much of a prick to need it like the ad then you can tell them as they make it.

    Wendy's Southwest Taco Salad looks quite good, either picture. Too bad it's ****** frozen food that's been chemically altered in every way imaginable. Make your own food.

    It all looks like crap to me. My fianc?e and I have been talking about how nothing looks the way it does in their ads for years and now thankfully someone is taking the time to prove them all to be nasty trash. However, I wonder if these people actually realize that all of those ad foods are made of plastic. lol

    I usually always cook or go out to expensive places to eat, which serve real food. The only regular places I go to are a Quizno's and a Chili's. Both of which I only go to certain ones because I know the managers and can trust their quality. Otherwise I like to make my locally famous chicken, rice, sauce and garlic bread dish or my Mom's amazing meatloaf made with organic meats.

    Yea I remember someone telling me that they use glue, instead of milk, in cereal commercials. No food ever looks remotely as good as it does in the ads.

    I heard about that, also they use mashed potatoes in those ice cream ads.

    Here are some more tricks that food stylist use:

    <font size=""1"">Cake: hairspray keeps the cake looking fresh
    Cereal: glue or cream cheese is used instead of milk
    Chicken: to achieve that perfect drumstick shape, inject mashed potatoes under the skin
    Fruit: spray with spray deodorant and give it a frosty look
    Pancakes: spray with fabric protector to prevent syrup from soaking in and fruit topping is pinned in place
    Pie: stuff with instant potatoes and then the filling is pinned in place on the tops and sides
    Seafood: paint with glycerin to look juicy
    Spaghetti: toss with liquid glucose to give it that glossy sheen
    Swiss cheese: holes are added by punching them in with straws
    Syrup: motor oil is used sometimes instead of syrup
    Tomato sauce: thicken with tomato paste and then placed with a syringe
    Water: plastic ice cubes are used in glasses, which are given a frosty look by spraying them with a dulling spray and then water</font>

    EDIT: btw, Chutney, how long do you have to use those ridiculous signatures for?
