    I can slap better burgers than that together even when I’m stinking drunk.

  2. Troll says:

    Dont eat fast food.

    Problem solved.

  3. jj says:

    Unfortunately, this is just making me hungry.

  4. Keldar says:

    stolen.

    • Colleen says:

      It is taken from a site that allows you to embed infographics on your own site so they get a backlink to their own. You will notice that link at the bottom of the infographic. So it is in no way stolen. Had I removed that link and not credited it or took it upon my own to copy the image and upload and post without permission then you could indeed call it stolen.

    Do not eat and I will not!

  6. Pino says:

    Another reason why Belgium rocks. We don’t need giant fastfood chains to get hamburgers, and they’re actually decent.

    • Richie says:

      you’re seriously suggesting belgium has better burgers than america?

      • Pino says:

        No, I was suggesting they’re better than what (edited for language) you see here. And I was suggesting, totally apart from that, that Belgium rocks. What (edited for language) is wrong with you people always taking on an insult with your whole damn country

    Since when does food need to look good to taste good?

    • Honestman says:

      since when do advertisers need to tell the truth about the products they’re selling?

    • Terry says:

      Since when does fast food taste good? There are so many better ways to get a burger, made with MEAT and CHEESE instead of rubber and plastic.

      • StonedHungryman says:

        since i started going on quests for cheap food at 2am when i’m high and/or drunk. i doubt you’ll find very many intoxicated people that don’t enjoy the taste of a taco bell burrito or a burger king cheeseburger.

    (comment removed for language)

  9. denise says:

    uh i work at mcdonalds and this is nothing like what they actually look like. they are just being over dramatic.

    • mcfuggered says:

      I’m pretty sure they are not being over dramatic. I’ve never gotten anything from any fast food chain that looks like the advertisement.

    Although the actually burgers are really poorly put together, I do have to point out that advertisements are normally done either by computer or are air brushed onto cardboard. The burgers in advertisements are about the size of a human head which means you would never be able to eat it in the first place. The companies should make the burger more presentable and make sure that they are put together in a nice manner when serving them to the public but as the consumer you should know that advertisements are designed to pull you in. They present you with a beautiful looking meal so that you will get off your butt and spend money in their stores. The better it looks when they show you it the first time the more likely you are to come.

    I mean by all means you can go and bitch about this but in reality you are the one that will look like an ass when they explain why the burgers look the way they do in the pictures. When I worked in fast food when I started working, we had to explain this to many different people. Though our sandwich guys always put nice and presented sandwiches together, they were never the size of the photo or look exactly like it.

    • mcfuggered says:

      Then why do they advertise it? That would be like saying, well the camera you saw in our advertisement isnt EXACTLY like the one you’re buying. We just wanted you to come buy the camera…does it matter if it isn’t the same camera?

      Or

      The advertisement you saw for our auto insurance isn’t EXACTLY like that. It’s mostly like that but we wanted to make it look more attractive to you so we beefed it up in the commercial. What you saw is not what you get, duh.

      No one is fighting about burgers. Someone just took the time to make a funny representation of the false advertisement by fast food chains. Fast food is exactly that. Fast food. It’s never going to be made with the same care and effort we make our own food with. We eat it anyway. I won’t stop eating fast food and I’m pretty sure no one on here is outraged by this discovery. It just a funny picture. But to say that you have to explain to your ignorant customers that what you see is not what you get, it makes you look like an ass. How dare these people think they will get a burger that is represented in ads and pictures in your restaurant!

  11. Britney says:

    if you don’t like it, don’t eat it. who fights about burgers? honestly.

  12. That’s a trip! But they taste as a good as the “fake” picture looks so I guess that’s why we keep eating it lol.

  13. Birgit says:

    that what these people do, make food look pretty. They are called “Food Stylist”

  14. sooo true!

  15. Tommy says:

    You realize they don’t use real food for the advertisements right? The food in the advertisements is all made of plastic. So of course it’s going to look better. However, the real food was cooked, packaged, then thrown in a bag. If you expect it to look good, you’re a moron. Just eat the flippin thing.
