So are you calling him disgusting because he's Mexican? Or was he just dirty? Do you not like Mexicans or something?

Zillions rocked! Too bad they stopped publishing it. (and didn't even give a partial refund for the subscription). I actually thought of writing them a letter about that using their own template for writing to companies. :-D

Same thing with quiznos, you know...i still go to subway....
I went to quiznos to try it, i say a mexican that barely spoke english weighed meat on a DIRTY scale and stuffed it in my sandwitch. I though twice about eating it...but since I paid, i ate it....i did get sick, never went back to quiznos, and never will go there again...
There is really no differnce between using a convection oven with a conveyor belt, versus a stationary one. May fresh meat may be one thing, but when you have disguisting employees handling it, is another. Subway has hairnets,and gloves and no greasy scales.
Those rats they had in the commercials were no coincidence.

Hey, has anyone eaten at a european subway, i dont thing they are following the guidelines of the company. In america you get a bun packed with mean, cheese etc.....There you get a something that looks like a hotdog...

Its not exactly false advertising since. I learned about this in my technical comms class in college. Its kinda like showing graphs with different scales....one that shows differences as huge [x and y are changed so that differences between bars seem huge] and another full graph that shows that the actual graph, that show the changes are actually miniscule as compared to the rest of the graph. Both graphs contain the same data in essence.

So i mean, to make the burger in the ad costs $20-30 to make, the one in reality is more like a couple of dollar to make. They are both essentially the same thing.

False advertising has to be gross to be recognized. Its like a backup batter being advertised as 500A when in fact it was 250A. Even sometimes casing of a product is different than advertised in the box, but if its still rack mount and and has all the same features, then its not flase advertising.....
Same with the burger, it will still be a colon clot at the end of the day.

Then you get it, and the ingredients aren't even in the salad. You get roughly a bowl of lettuce and maybe the chicken (if that's how you ordered it) on top, and packages of the remaining ingredients for you to assemble your salad yourself.

The only difference between this and going to my local grocery store is, at least I don't have to walk around picking up the items individually (although I'm sure they're working on that aspect).

Even in a nation that has made the bulk fast-food bolus something of a culinary art, KFC's Famous Bowls are somehow splendidly, transcendently awful. Perhaps it's because, if you retain any of your childhood aversion to foods touching, the Famous Bowls will send you shrieking into traffic. Perhaps it's because it so brazenly exposes its own purpose: to economically pack the gullets of the poor. Gone is even the pretense that someone might eat this for its taste. This is gerbil food for the disenfranchised. One KFC marketing exec, in a moment of linguistic clarity I'll bet he wishes he had back, is quoted as saying the meals are directed at "heavy fast-food users." Never was the connection between fast food and addictive drugs made more explicit.

As someone already said before you get what you pay for and quite frankly you aren't paying for much at a fast food restaurant. If you want food which looks as if it was just taken out of the advertisement and tastes as tantalizing, then go to a five star restaurant just be prepared to fork over ten dollars for a baked potato.

Also, they get away with the glue milk because they are not selling milk, they're selling cereal. There are people who do this for a living.

I can't say I blame them. I mean who would run out and buy that Wendy's Spicy sandwich if it had a bunch of dents in it on the commercial?

It's still a good deal, mind you. Just take down the stupid pictures.

Sorry about the music.

Bonus points to Wendy's, though. Their food actually looks good.
I wonder why Taco Bell isn't in here...

I did! Oh my god, I remember that! I distinctly remember the review of Blind Melon they did said "They should have been called Deaf Melon". Hyuk. I loved that magazine!

Also, take a gander at the Stouffer's French Bread Pizza....ooohhh...looks all cheezy and stuff but when you open the box (purchased in a severe moment of weakness, naturally), you are greeted with a hardened dried up piece of white bread, some sauce and three pieces of dehydrated cheeze food...oh, and that pepperoni? it's all crowded onto one end of the "pizza"...Gah.

Oh man, I haven't thought about Zillions in ages. I wonder how many young Consumerists used to read its tween financial advice...

But what's with the different standards when real-estate agents get in trouble, too, for "cleaning up" photos they use in listings?

Dishonest photos are dishonest photos.

*shakes fist at photoshop*

There just isn't time, personnel, or space to make the burger look like the ad. Accept it. You get what you pay for, and in this case, you just aren't paying for it.

Also, the burger on the right looks more appealing to me. Looks more real, I guess. Looks like it has more of what I want. Salt, fat, moisture. Not order.
