Weirdly, the US is actually super strict about food advertising. All of the basic ingredients/components have to be there — but where they get creative is with fake steam, camera trickery, suggestion/innuendo, props, etc. Like if you were selling cornflakes, you could fake the milk to look extra thick, surround the bowl with fake fruit to imply healthy, all sorts of stuff, so long as the cornflakes were the exact ones out of the box. So yeah, the advertised burger is technically the same one you’re getting, but it’s not getting a four hour prep session.
You want to gut our healthcare? Fine. Education? No problem. Infrastructure and key systems of governance? Be our guest.
But if you even think of exaggerating a little more than the expected amount in a fast food advertisement, you will face the wrath of a thousand mighty eagles dual wielding AR-15’s in a torrent of judicial violence.
