Here's a "pulitzer-worthy" project from The West Virginia Surf Report:
Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality
Each item was purchased, taken home, and photographed immediately. Nothing was tampered with, run over by a car, or anything of the sort. It is an accurate representation in every case. Shiny, neon-orange, liquefied pump-cheese, and all.
Of course, a national chain would likely just do one or the other, because it does take a good amount of money to try both.
As a side note, while I don't eat at places like McDonalds or Burger King, I would far rather have a 6-inch turkey sandwich from Subway on those days that I have very little time to prepare food than just eating snack food at my house.
Oh, and it was real food. Tasted just like any other Big Mac I'd had!
How far does this person live from the fast food joint? There's a reason that it is called "fast food," you know. Only retards would think food would taste and look the same after some (possibly long) time has passed between the purchase and the consumption. The same holds for how it appears in a photo. Logic is apparently a rare commodity...
