people should be realistic and stop thinking that the food they get will be exactly like how it looks in the ad.

a friend of mine who works at McDonald’s tells me that sometimes he has customers coming to him complaining that the sandwich in reality doesn’t look like the ad, lol.

They compare fast food products in reality and the way they’re portrayed in advertisements.

^^ I think the advertisments should be realsitic, not the people’s expectations. I mean some of these aren’t even close..

Theres alot of skimping on the cream fillings of the pastry stuff…And ufff the colour difference just makes you want to puke sometimes…
