Right who thinks company's like McDonald's etcetera who advertise those nice big juicy burger that make you want to grab them out of the screen and eat them. Don't you get peeved off when you get the squashed burger that looks like someone sat on it in there car :razz:

Sorry but i love my fast food and i don't like being lied to, someday im going to have a go at them and tell them to remake my burger so its plump and juicy.
:nuts::cuckoo::geek::bonk:
Rant over!!!

Anyone agree

its fast food, you shouldn't actually expect it to look appealing and be tasty because its never going to be either.

I hate McD's the food is just plastic, has no nutritional value, and is a total waste of money. Same goes for all fast food. All except a small private place in Seven Kings, Essex, called Jakes. Not been there in over 20 years, but it's still there. All food is cooked fresh in front of you, you have the choice of beefburgers or chicken burgers, and probably even more besides now. The burgers come in 4oz, 8oz, 12oz or 16oz. You can then specify extras such as pinapple ring, onions, mushrooms, bacon, salad, cheese.
If you have the works in a burger of any size it's called a blowout for obvious reasons. I know of one person that accidently asked for a blow job however. :)

If you want a prime example of misleading advertising you don't have to look much further than Asda cheescake:

This is the box front:

I've emailed Asda asking for their comments before I take it to Trading Standards. I'm keen to hear what they have to say.

On the subject of a Big Mac, I always order one with no lettuce or pickle and extra cheese instead - try it next time you're in MaccyD's....

I some times get a mickky Ds craving, and its good when I satisfy it! :D

I do enjoy good food, as in well cooked local produce at home or a resturant :)

That asda cheese cake though :gag: what happens when its out of the tin? should look better then?

Nothing can make it look better when it's missing half the strawberries the box photo depicts.
