Why your food never looked this good…

    • It’s Still not working, though. I’m sure they are using every trick they know.
      I’m feeling something, just don’t remember the whole thing..
      I’m just getting a hazy recollection of something about
      Polish and turd, but gee, Wally I don’t remember the whole thing..

  2. Seen one like this before. Yeah, advertising just ain’t real.

    If it looks OK, but tastes good, I don’t care. And from some of the pics and recipes that all y’all overgrown children have posted, there’s a whole lot of folks with the same opinion. We must remember that the recipes serve 8-12, NOT single serving, so change proportions or get ready for (drools …) leftovers.

  3. Had a friend years ago who worked in commercials and he had a Coke bottle in his collection that was sealed, half full of some brown liquid, and had lights built into the back with a wire that ran up his arm to a battery pack. When filmed from the right angle, the liquid looked like it was being drunk at just the right speed and the lights made the whole thing bright and sparkly. It was completely cool.

  4. Ed- NOOOoooooo…

    Nolan- Yep

    PK- I cook for 4, eat one, freeze the other three…LOL

    Hereso- Wow, yep, tricks of the trade we never see (or catch on to)…

  5. Oh, yeah, and that’s not even getting into the scultped plastic, resin, and eopxy “food” for photography and staging. Or, as a friend learned the hard way, the sushi that’s on display isn’t real sushi; you point at it, and then the chef makes the real one for you.

  6. That’s not even considering the actual plastic fake food used in advertisements.

    Or at restaurants.

    Saw this in 1971 in Honolulu when I was 8. Plastic or rubber simulacrums for you to point at and order, makes the language barrier not so much of a barrier.

  8. Dot/Beans- LOL, yep, they had those in Japan in the early 70s…

    Orvan- Or he’s laughing his ass off…
