Square burgers, people, SQUARE. Should be clue enough.

Food photography is a good paying profession. I haven’t seen one photograph of food products from fast food outlets live up to the look of the pictures. Every fast food outlet uses them.

[...] All the ingredients were there, but they didn’t look like the advertisement photos and they tasted like greasy sadness. Minor Travesty of the Week: The Baconator [...]

I don’t have that much sympathy (and not just because I am a vegetarian) but because no burger ever looks like the marketing picture. Although I do have to admit the real burger looks absolutely disgusting, the marketing one doesn’t look that much better.

Is there something in your genes that makes you consider a mound of fatty, artificially processed calories something desirable?

Yup. They mutated right after we broke free from the shackles of European tyranny…

I worked with a professional model builder… all the stuff in the photos are not real… not even food… they are models build of plastic…
no truth in advertising at all… ever…

and if you buy a hamburger and it’s not up to snuff after your first bite… walk right back up to the counter and return it for something else… the only way to get any complaint across is to actually make a complaint at that moment… one bite out of any food and you can take it back… (one bite only is “proper edict”)… just get up off your butt and walk right back up to the counter… past all the people in line and say in a loud and clear voice this is does not taste right… they will bend over backwards to help you and then they will never want it to happen again…
the only way to effect change is to immediately step up… any later complaining and your just wining about it… so stop your winning and complain immediately where and when it will get results…
and you can also open the wrapper and tell them “that does not look like the photo.. fix it”… they will or they will return your money… demand it… it your right… so do it…

I’ve been eating the Big Bacon Classic at Wendy’s since the early 80’s. It’s all you ever need in a bacon cheeseburger.
