Subject: How come my burger never looks like the commercial Posted by: Micheal - [28112214] Thu, Dec 05, 2002, 03:25 How come when you get your burger it doesn't look like the one in the commercial? The one in the commercial is always nice and thick and juicy with the freshest lettuce and tomatoes, but when you order one it looks like it was made last week and someone stepped on it . Just wondering. I know there are bigger worries, like if TMac is playing friday. | ||||||

| 10 | Julius Donor ID: 121024129 Thu, Dec 05, 2002, 08:38 | maybe the person that is preparing the burger on the commercial is not getting paid minimum wage to put that puppy (yes, it is dog meat) together... | |||||

I read recently that there is less dog meat in it these days because they passed a law in 1997 which banned the meat industry from collecting dead dogs and cats from shelters and grinding them into the cattle feed. Thats such an astounding fact that I'll even provide a reference: page 202 of Fast Food Nation by Schlosser,Penguin Press 2001, originally from US News & World Reports, September 1 1997 | |||||
| 13 | Bloody Geoff Donor ID: 279423119 Thu, Dec 05, 2002, 08:49 |
But the good news for the Meat Industry is that they are still allowed to render dead horses and pigs and poultry into cattle feed. And various combinations (cattle to poultry feed etc). Because cows are such renowned carnivores after all. | |||||

| 22 | MNG@college ID: 117422015 Thu, Dec 05, 2002, 14:26 | It's all in the marketing, who would actually wanted to go to a fast food restaurant if they showed you the "real deal". It attracts business. Though one time in a McDonald's in Springfield I noticed a sign with an advertisement for a McDonald's cheeseburger and the bun had a slight hint of mold on it. Wonder how those fat cats missed that! | |||||

Can't believe no one talked about the magic of advertising (except MNG@college who touched on it). There are a ton of tricks used in the business. Example: Still shots of cereal in bowls of milk. Ever notice how white the milk is? Sure there are bright lights on it. But, the real reason is glue is often used, and some glues are very white. Using fake objects or cosmetically enhancing the look is commonplace. As MNG said, it's all done to make money/increase sales/attract attention. | |||||

This thread is hilarious. YEAH DAMMIT! Why isn't there nice little beads of dew on *MY* tomatoes?!? I remember as a 16 year old working at a Carl's Jr. how we would laugh about how think and juicy the condiments looked in the ads and pics. How shiny the beef would look....how the sauce du jour would be oozing ohhhh so slightly over the sides....the perfect bacon....etc. Gotta love the advertising industry! | |||||
| 28 | Mike D Donor ID: 391034255 Thu, Dec 05, 2002, 21:13 |
He who wants beads of dew on his tomatoes should leave them outside overnight in the spring. Either that or crouch down when using the urinal. | |||||
| 29 | Tim G Donor ID: 209141819 Thu, Dec 05, 2002, 21:45 | Slightly OT, but have you ever looked on a can of corn and seen a picture of a steaming bowl of corn and underneath the picture it says "serving suggestion?"

I like the warning you get on sugar free chewing gum that read "Excess consumption may have a laxative effect". The symptom they are required to warn you about here is also known as Anal Seepage and comes about because the body cannot break down sorbitol so it just kinda leaks out the holes. | |||||

My Italian would be butchered way beyond recognition whilst you guys do a fine job with English. "Match" just makes me smile. | |||||
| 56 | clach ID: 4112529 Sat, Dec 07, 2002, 17:39 |
Ender youre right! Nba is THE GAME. The english we learn is most british english, where "match" is more used than "game". It also reflect the different concept of sport we have: for us is more a battle, for you more a fun. Back to hamburger it's shocking to know Nba players eat fat burgers DURING a match, while our football layers must be relaly careful of what they eat the day before a game! | |||||
| 57 | Micheal ID: 12744225 Sat, Dec 07, 2002, 17:46 | It's more an individual thing. I saw on ESPN where they compared Jerry Rice and Rod Smiths eating habits. Rice was careful what he put in his body and Smith would live off Burger King and cereal. | |||||
