Each item was purchased, taken home, and photographed immediately. Nothing was tampered with, run over by a car, or anything of the sort. It is an accurate representation in every case. Shiny, neon-orange, liquefied pump-cheese, and all.

A nice reminder that people are actively try to trick you every possible moment they can.

What do you mean they don't sell ham at Wendy's!?!?!?!?

^Stop talking about ham. Your scaring the pigs.

But I like ham...

That isn't surprising in any way, shape, or form.
Well, okay, I am surprised that Taco Bell still uses the square-tray picture of Nachos Bell Grande when it's served in a round tray, but the rest of it just looks like what would happen to any sandwich when wrapped in paper & thrown in a bag, or any cheese when placed on hot food, etc. The stuff you get in good restaurants doesn't look like the menu pictures either.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

They hire chefs on the commercials to make these food. The corps. hire nitwits on the steet.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE.

Tikal, the stuff in the commercials is inedible; they paint it, varnish it, glue it, etc.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
