A lot of the time when things are advertised, especially food, I wonder if what is being advertised is the truth, or if it is just another attempt by a company to get you to buy their product. It seems as if subjects of advertising are always given a boost to make them look better than the reality of the object. Of course this has to be done in order to make consumers more attracted to what is being sold.
This can be seen in the picture above. Obviously the hamburger on the left is the greatly improved version of what the actual burger at McDonald's is. If the burger on the left was in the advertisements, nobody would want to buy the not-tasty looking burger. The burger on the left is better and tastier looking in general. This would definitely attract customers, even though it may not be the reality of the product.
A lot of the time I ignore advertisements that give a product a quality boost because it seems that almost all advertisements are fake now. I see so much of what the product is supposed to be like, but never what it actually is. I think that many people are immune to advertising because of this. We are able to filter through the advertisements that seem unrealistic, and aren't affected by them.
