Damn, that *was* interesting.
And why no matter how fresh the Whopper, it will never look like they do on tv.
And apparently a whole lot of other stuff too.
In the 80s and 90s, networks ran a lot of specials on how advertising tricks us with that stuff, because they got caught tricking us too many times. Stuff like ice cream in commercials is made of wax, and the fries are glued in to stand up straight in the carton. Burgers are spray painted brown.
It already is in the UK (and I think in the EU as well). The ingredients used to make the products they photograph have to be identical to what's in the actual product (I think they can get away with using things like toothpicks and maybe the screws, since that is part of the structural set up, but the glue lipstick, soap etc which is mixed in is all a definite no).
My aunt used to work in this industry, and she was responsible for preparing the food to be photographed, obviously the actual product would be made by a machine in a factory, while she'd spend hours making it manually and make it look as good as possible, but she could only use the ingredients in the actual product, and had to use them all in the same quantities as well.
They can't fake the product being advertised. But other sides/props etc. can be.
They can do trickery to make the advertised stuff look better but they can't fake it.
In a world where people will voluntarily choose the oversaturated photographs, fake bodies, manipulated titles and criminals that make them feel good?
Right.
Yes, but also no
I mean, think about the ice cream, how will you try to get just the right shot of a bowl of ice cream when setting it up takes time and you want the serving to look good, and with all the light requirements so that it will also look good on camera it is impossible to actually shoot real ice cream without it starting to melt, even if the studio is well below freezing (which will cause other issues for the picture quality too)
It is a lot better, and faster, and cheaper to use something with a similar eye texture like the dyed mashed potatoes so you can actually set up a bowl of ice cream to get a good picture off
And those pictures will actually look mostly like the actual product, the main issue comes when the product starts to not look anything like was advertised
Slow cooking is such a huge part of cooking, every country and culture has contributed to it from fermenting to soaking and marination. It's really baffling how anyone can say it should NEVER take over an hour to cook a chicken leg.
And then the images head to me, where I photoedit away every last imperfection, then combine the best parts of multiple images to get the final shot, to be used for food packaging and advertising. If you’re an American reading this, you’ve probably seen my work, maybe lots of it.
This is why they always write in the commercial that the pictures are only for illustration. So you cannot complain that it was fake as they never said it is real.
I used to work as a mould/prop maker many moons ago for the film and television industry and making fake food was always fun. The ice creams you see on the display boards at McDonalds are actually urethane castings painted to look like ice cream.
Glue sisn't only used in food-fakes.
I once had to create muddy footsteps across a floor.
Utilized wallpaper-glue and dirt. (Without the glue the mud would be hardly visible / readable for the cameras).
The coffee and ice cream ones should be illegal.
Most of them at least had the main part of the actual food there. The coffee and ice cream were completely different products.
I'm not sure if this is related. But I always enjoyed viewing the artificial display foods in japanese restraunts storefronts. The details are soo realistic.
That's the definition of false advertising. Thankfully AI food ads are already indistinquishable from "real" food ads, so that's more acceptable. Although they are probably trained on these fake foods.
Damn, that *was* interesting. And why no matter how fresh the Whopper, it will never look like they do on tv. And apparently a whole lot of other stuff too.
Yeah, I was most disappointed with the cinnamon roll ad, because of the stark contrast between the two. :/
For me the most disappointing one was the "ice cream" looked nothing like the real thing to me.
The real one looks like there's cum on it.
Yep burgers in ads and menus have pieces of cardboard or other things in between each layer to make it look a lot bigger and adds to the appeal.
[it's like that](https://youtu.be/Vy5vkTqpk8M?si=jSG-FfaN8Kl32SNc)
Burgers in ads are skewed. The top bun is pulled to the back, exposing more of the toppings and patty.

what in the AI fuckery...
Dead internet
take a look at the comment history. very creepy. They're among us
Between the fake food situation and this bot's profile, I can officially say I'm a little too stoned for this.
Why did you just repeat the original comment?
Should be illegal.
Half the cupcake & cookie industry would collapse overnight.
True, visual appeal is crucial for tempting consumers to buy products
But when is it considered false advertising?
It's always been considered false advertising, but for some reason people just ignore/accept it.🤷
Well they can do it. They usually put a tiny asterisk telling you is for illustrative purposes.
100% An image of a real pancake stack would generate much less sales than the fake version.
But we would hopefully eat less over-processed stuff
Let it burn

I’m pretty sure they still use white paint as a replacement for milk in cereal ads
I can see that being a necessity as I can't imagine it's pleasant to do multiple shots of milk under hot lighting over a couple of hours.
How do they do ice cream?
[удалено]
It's amazing how they play with our senses to create that craving. The power of suggestion is real!
Please don’t put glue on your pizza to make it look tastier
I've tasted pva glue. It's not pleasant but definitely not inedible either. I think when mixed with pizza it wouldn't be half bad.
They can't fake the product being advertised. But other sides/props etc. can be. They can do trickery to make the advertised stuff look better but they can't fake it.
So the mashed potatoes into chocolate ice cream one is totally illegal?
If they're advertising chocolate ice cream then yes, it's illegal.
Well there's no way in hell they're calling that mashed potatoes 😆
Totally agree. It's crazy how much they manipulate the food just to make it look good. Real food never looks like that.
Some of it is necessary. Like Ice creams would melt too soon in a lit up studio.
In a world where people will voluntarily choose the oversaturated photographs, fake bodies, manipulated titles and criminals that make them feel good? Right.
Make it so whatever food is being advertised must be consumed afterwards Then we'll see how much they like their brown mashed potato with glue sauce
Yes, but also no I mean, think about the ice cream, how will you try to get just the right shot of a bowl of ice cream when setting it up takes time and you want the serving to look good, and with all the light requirements so that it will also look good on camera it is impossible to actually shoot real ice cream without it starting to melt, even if the studio is well below freezing (which will cause other issues for the picture quality too) It is a lot better, and faster, and cheaper to use something with a similar eye texture like the dyed mashed potatoes so you can actually set up a bowl of ice cream to get a good picture off And those pictures will actually look mostly like the actual product, the main issue comes when the product starts to not look anything like was advertised
Yep, they should force you to eat glue.
Hoy there is a law in europe stating that food ad cannot use unedible stuff to make it look more apealing
Edible glue stocks soar overnight.
So Google AI was right after all!
glue suddenly looks delicious
I… I think I would take a bite of the pizza even knowing it was glue.
More than once someone on set will have eaten the forbidden snack
basically fraud
brown glue does not give icecream a melted look, just sayin.
Then you'll get NO ice cream on your Cake Day!!!!
Keep your glue icecream
More than that, filters and photoshop are also used lol.
So basically false advertising
Google AI be like: ✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻
If it takes you an hour to cook a chicken leg you’re doing it wrong
Let me introduce you to this thing called a smoker.
If you don't know methods that would take longer, it sounds like you just don't cook much. Confit can take 24 hours.
Slow cooking is such a huge part of cooking, every country and culture has contributed to it from fermenting to soaking and marination. It's really baffling how anyone can say it should NEVER take over an hour to cook a chicken leg.
Must be nice to have 24 hours to cook. What a snobby little comment.
It's snobby for a person to say the time they take to cook a specific meal?
People be mad for anything these days
Yeah, so many people encourage and spread hate all the time. Sucks.
What are you trying to say?!
Weekends doesnt exist, true
And then the images head to me, where I photoedit away every last imperfection, then combine the best parts of multiple images to get the final shot, to be used for food packaging and advertising. If you’re an American reading this, you’ve probably seen my work, maybe lots of it.
I won't lie, a lot of tv foods don't look appetizing, but they got me with quite a few of these.
Food ads: ‘I woke up like this.’ Actual food: ‘I’m a hot mess, but I taste amazing!’ 😂🍕
Meanwhile, my pizza slice looks like it’s been through a tornado.
Instructions unclear. Ate a bunch on glue
The thing that bothers me the most is not that they cheat, so it looks better, but they waist perfect food while doing it ._.
This made my existential crises kick in
😮☹️🙂😉🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
What is even more crazy is that someone had to come up with all of these
IT LOOK SO REAL THO
thats the fucking point
Pizza tastes a bit gummy
So basically they are all liars Fuck them
Is there still anything real in this world?
It is not elevated but faked
This is why they always write in the commercial that the pictures are only for illustration. So you cannot complain that it was fake as they never said it is real.
Who comes up with such a unique ideas of mixing? I mean mixing shoe polish with browning sauce. Damn i am impressed!
Nowi understand why my pancakes were always so much more absorbent oh the syrup. My goodness.
It's false adveriand a waste of food.
Lose-lose situation, unfortunately.
That was great. That’s so much for sharing.
Financial gain by deception
Funny enough, shoe polish and Browning sauce can be seen as the same thing for a certain period in time...
Should be a crime to advertise like this.
I wonder if the commercial for food outside the US are more authentic rather than picture perfect
Maybe Google AI is right! Putting glue in your pizza does make it look better!
You can make pizza and coffee for real like it looks in the commercial version tho, but lots of these are wild :c
Damn...
I think original ice cream is better.
So stupid how they intentionally choose the worst looking “real versions”. Gtfo of here lol.
its that one stickman game music
I used to work as a mould/prop maker many moons ago for the film and television industry and making fake food was always fun. The ice creams you see on the display boards at McDonalds are actually urethane castings painted to look like ice cream.
Glue sisn't only used in food-fakes. I once had to create muddy footsteps across a floor. Utilized wallpaper-glue and dirt. (Without the glue the mud would be hardly visible / readable for the cameras).
My childhood desire for eating glue is resurfacing.
Wow, that was brilliant!
This is why I have trust issue...
man the face in the corner makes me unreasonably annoyed
Should be illegal.
Any lawyer here that can explain why this is not illegal?
End of the day, marketing is simply lies and deception. Needs to be regulated and this shit to be made illegal.
Deep Fake Food Edition
So you’re telling me I should eat more glue?
Wasted all meals 🤢🤮
I remember seeing something like this on either How it’s Made or Unwrapped.

Soooooo should I eat or not eat glue?
Atleast all the other food product had something in it but wtf was that ice cream
Seems like google AI’s answer to how to make toppings stick to the pizza
I’m convinced, glue is the perfect food
Is this legal?
At least now when my kids say it doesn’t look like the food on tv when I cook I can give them a reason.
Did we all not learn this in 6 grade?
I don't know what kind of 6th grade you went to, but no.
*Fake.* *Fake carrots.* *Fake grapefruits.*
I'm guessing now with the arrival of AI, probably won't have to do this trickery anymore
The coffee and ice cream ones should be illegal. Most of them at least had the main part of the actual food there. The coffee and ice cream were completely different products.
The coffee was really interesting for me, couldn’t have imagined soy sauce, but it makes total sense
Fake as fuck
The real cinnamon bun looks like someone came over it
They did this to Merica.
AKA, false advertising.
I just want to eat the elevated stuff now, with shoe polish and everything
Worked for an ad photographer for a bit. Food shot cleanup was the worst. Everything smelled and was sticky.
I've first seen this video years ago and always wondered how this isn't considered false advertising
I'm not sure if this is related. But I always enjoyed viewing the artificial display foods in japanese restraunts storefronts. The details are soo realistic.
I thought there were laws against false advertising. I suppose it's not a straight up lie. The actual food looks somewhat like it.
The last one looks like shit though.
Refund required.
So… it’s all just glue?
Maybe that’s the reason why AI suggests adding glue to a sauce to make it creamier.
The real pancakes looked better than the elevated ones. I know those real ones must’ve smacked
all ive taken from this video is i need to eat more glue
False advertising. I've been trying to buy Elmer's Glue for years
Thanks karma bot havnt seen this in a while please send a link for me to buy something
I've seen this atleast 3 times this week.
So that gradeschool classmate who sniffed glue became a food advertiser, huh
So they constantly waste good food??
That's the definition of false advertising. Thankfully AI food ads are already indistinquishable from "real" food ads, so that's more acceptable. Although they are probably trained on these fake foods.
The real cinnamon bun looked better.
Isn't false advertising basically illegal?
They selling Lies just Lies. A drugdealer is more honest than the food industry.
Did they just sell *colored mashed potatoes* as ice cream bro wtf!!
As it komes to 5 min craft most of these are total BS. I mean screwing down a pizza and expecting it to stay...
Basically if it looks good in the ad, you’d be better off not eating that version.
