I think the Fish Fillet was closest to what is advertised, followed by the Subway sub.

That Taco Bell nacho supreme was the worst I have ever seen - seriously, that doesn't even come close to passing quality control.

Here's a video of what fast food looks like after time:

Yep.... The fries have alot of salt on them, which can preserve things longer. Also(although I'm not sure if this applies now, if Mcdonald's stopped using Hydrogenated oils) if they are still using hydrogenated oils to fry them, the trans fat adds alittle shelf life to it as well(only to a lesser degree.

I seen a post in the comments section about Olestra, did they replace the Hydrogenated oils(the oils that have the unhealthy man made trans fat in it) with that oil substitute? Why can't they use pure non-hydronated oils instead?

Oh, wait.... That's a retorical question.

Of course the "food" displayed in the adverts are touched up, photoshopped etc. to make them appear nicer than normal. And considering the fact that fast food is, well, "fast", I wouldn't expect a gourmet burger make in less than 1 minute. The only ones that look remotely like the ad are the 2 rolls and the fillet.

There are people called food stylists and it is their job to make it look appetizing.

yeah I was looking at that whopper (made me hungry) the pickles are arranged so the onions can sit nicely on them then the tomatoes are layered to hold up the lettuce and the bun... pretty! lol

I really wanted him to reach in the jar and break a fry in half to see what was happening on the inside
