looks like the dude smashed the shit before snapping the pictures, but maybe not.

Yes, it's very upsetting when I get a KFC Famous Bowl, and it fails to fully levitate and emit a pleasant silver corona, as they show it doing in the ad.

It's a thin line between the Famous Bowl and a trough.
Troughs are the future of fast food, by the way. I'm going to open the first restaurant and watch all the fat piggies line up and eat greasy fake food out of my troughs. It'll be awesome.

Let's put everything on the menu in the same bowl! brilliant. Just add a diet coke and you're good.

i thought the pics were cool, it's definitely something that's crossed my mind before "This sandwich doesn't look anything like in the picture!"
Someone should do a similar sketch with celebrities.. glam shots vs. paparazzi shots :D

I haven't eaten "fast food" in months, and I have to admit that even the gross reality food pictures look kind of good...

our buddy scott in college would agree with you. he came up with the novel, and horrible, idea of the denny's trough. denny's would just take the remaining food from customers' plates, place it in a trough, and sell broke, stoned college kids a dollar per pound to pick through it.

Stay away! Keep your sanity man!
I haven't ate fast food in years. The plastic places gross me out.

Lots of time and preparation go into those ads. and most of what you see isn't really food, of course I don't consider what fast food joints serve food either, so what can you do.

i watched a thing on the food network run by Double Dare guy that focused on food ads. yeah in commercials those are definitely NOT food. They are actually props. There are specialized food prop artists that design and build that stuff. make a good buck doing it too.
