"My Dinner doesn't look anything LIKE that!" Thread - Ad Pics vs Reality!

Probably tastes amazing though right?

This make it easier? :L

It's just a wee one - but it's by the superbowl XS Namco centre thingy! GO GET ONE FIRST THING TOMORROW.

Of course, just never ask me to serve up in a restuarant.

I feel like I'm about to pass out with excitement! I work in the red mall. What exactly does it sell? I have never seen it! Isn't there only subway, KFC and McDonalds and greggs near the namco thing?

NANDO'S CHICKEN

Nando's advertise that your Peri Peri chicken meal will arrive with this kind of grandeur:



but arrives as so:




The last picture still looks awesome, but I find Nando's underwhelming in general.
Overall though, not a bad effort getting it to look similar!

Not mine, but someone posted about "Jack in the Box's Chilli Cheese Fries with Chorizo". On the promo ads, they're bursting from the box with masses of chilli, sausage and cheese, almost like a meaty, cheesy starch explosion.

This is what she got.


Hardly the same visual feast, I'm sure you'll agree...

That actually makes some bizarre logic right there.


Another food example which I have shamelessly google-stolen (these ain't ma picz, yo):

I once got a Zinger Tower burger from KFC at the drive thru. I drove home hardly able to contain my excitement but when I got home and opened the box, the burger was halfmade and had no bun on top of it

I'm more amazed you were that excited over a zinger tower burger....

But all the same.

Yeah been done

Awesome article you posted!

Waitrose Sausage and Chorizo Jambalaya:

Looks amazing. Just incredible. Full, chunky sausages, rich, deep, dark tomatoes allllmost crispy chorizo...



But the reality? Erm... like one and a bit sausage... I THINK there's ingredients in here somewhere. But I can't tell, because the rice has formed a singular entity of stodge. Anyone want a slice of Jambalaya?

TBH, I follow the axiom that if a menu has a picture than the food will be crap. And generally the axiom is correct.
