Upset the jack-o-lantern Reese's isn't carved is dumb, but it is true the false advertising is bad. Been known for years Hershey's designs on the wrapper were more than a best case scenario for what you were buying.
that's pretty much the case with anything in the u.s. when was the last time you got a big mac or a whopper or an arbys that looked like the picture on the menu board or in adverts on tv?
At least those are hand assembled, giving some excuse for it not being perfectly as pictured. But a molded piece of chocolate has no such excuse.
i tried to make an arbys look like the picture. it required accordion-folding all the meat on the front one-third of the bun, leaving the rest empty. and it still wasn't 'piled high' enough.
If you watch behind the scenes footage for food ads you'd see people doing the exact same thing you're doing. Such gussying up should be illegal
I want a law that says all food must be advertised with random samples pulled from real restaurants.
Like... You apply for an ad shoot permit, and a state inspector secret shoppers you four units from the area. You have to take photos as-is, no makeup or reconstructing.
I'd vote for you in a heartbeat.
Make burgers frumpy again!
Good point, someone sue them. I'm actually serious, the final product should at least resemble the ad
Never, because I would get big macs without mac sauce.
That said, these are clearly marketed as being halloween-themed candy.
If you can't tell it's halloween-themed on the product but you can on the packaging, then it's misleading as fuck.
Just to play devils advocate, my BigMacs do actually resemble the pictures lately.
