This site is really interesting. Please forgive (and ignore) me if it has been posted previously…I don’t keep up with C&F as much as I used to (and that’s a good thing for you and for me 
):
How true. I once told the girl at Subway that if she made my sandwich look like the advertisement I’d give her $10 as a tip and she didn’t do it.
And yet…it always seems to look the worst when I’m done eating it (and processing too of course!) 
GIGO!
Yes, well, we knew that injustices were rife in the fast-food market, didn’t we?
I thank you for sharing this website, though. There is some good stuff on it. Take a look at the links at the bottom of the page, particularly this expose of drug-company euphemistic language: http://www.thewvsr.com/alli.htm.
Thank you Lamby. Most appealing. Better run out and get me some of that. Or not.
I know! It’s so funny!

Next thing we know, the fast food empire will be asking for a government bailout because we, the fast food consuming populous, has gotten wise to the fact that they’re serving us crap and not the juicy goodness we see in their ads! I bet the Germans and Japanese have engineered far more advanced food presentations than we ever will. I hate eating domestic!
When you see a box of cereal with a picture of the cereal on the front, if you see milk, it’s not milk: it’s Crisco. They do that so they can position every single corn flake (or fruit loop, etc) just the right way. A colleague who studies commercial art cued me in on this.
Treatment effect! I love it! Gotta be the best euphemism yet…
