Joe© Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I walk into Mcdonalds to grab a bite to eat and for 3.00 I can get a burger, a burger that they advertise as having lots of lettuce and tomato and onions the mother of all hambuger pattys... of course they cant give you the best meal in the world, but can't they do better than the little puny thing they give you? there are many forms of false advertising , food, movies, cars. in a movie trailer that is packed ful of action, there might be only one action sequence in the whole show. I realize that life would be a lot more expensive if everything was perfect, but can't they put less air in the potato chip bags and say that you'll be in debt for the rest of your life if you buy that car because of the interest? thoughts?

Boba Rhett Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I remember when the Big n' Tastey first came out. I thought I had finally found a McD's sandwhich that I could love but then about eight weeks in, they changed the sandwhiches without telling anyone or saying anything. the meat was smaller and unseasoned and I became more bitter towards McD's. Oh and I love how chip companies said that the bags were full when they were packaged but then the chips settled, thus explaining the space but now they're coming out with much smaller bags that contain the same amount at the big ones did. One place that has held up to their adds for me is Wendy's. Their 99 cent menu totally rocks and their ingredients seem fresher than other places.

leXX Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 What I hate is the multi-pack crisps. Say you buy a pack of 12 Walkers cheese and onion, you think you are getting the equivilant of 12 bags of normal crisps, not so. The multi-pack crisps are only 25g, whereas the normal packs are 30g. Con or what?! What I really hate about McDonald's is the puny amount of fries they try to give you. I mean, they half fill the box and think you won't notice. I always tell them to make sure they fill the box up. Also, the amount of ice they put in their coke. You end up with more ice than coke. I used to work in McDonald's as a Saturday job when I was sixteen, and trust me folk's, everything is designed to con you out of your money. Having said all that, I just love a Big Mac and fries!

Alegis Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 almost everything is false advertisding, especially the shop channels I think the companies find an advertisement good if it kinda promises more than they deliver, though not directly I just simply hate those XXL BAGS, NOW MORE CHIPS!

El Sitherino Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 There used to be a burger place here in DFW that made actual pound burgers. I mean this burger weighed a pound and was big as hell. They shut down though. Now I go to Jack in the box and get the bacon ultimate cheeseburger. Or wendys and get there 99 cent meal chili and poor it on my wendy burger while i enjoy my frosty.

Lightsaberboy Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 You know burger king's burgers arent really cooked over an open fire like their commercials say? They just put in a "smokey" flavor to make them taste as if they were cooked over an open fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Liquid smoke....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsaberboy Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Something like that. I read about it in eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation. Here. check out this excerpt. Burger king's BK Broiler chicken breast patty contains "natural smoke flavor". A firm called Red Arrow Products Compnay specializes in smoke flavor, which is added to barbeque sauces and processed meats. Red Arrow manufactures naturalsmoke flavor by charring sawdust and capturing the aroma chemicals relased into the air. The smoke is capture in water and then bottled, so that other companies can sell food which seems to have been cooked over a fire. You can find this book in your nearby bookstore if you want to learn the darkside behind the all-american meal. mauhahahahaha.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
