Food Photos: Ads vs. Reality
A German website, Pundo3000, has painstakingly compared packaged food products to illustrate how widely the advertised images differ from what you actually get. They are sad and depressing and make me question what the heck Germans are eating in the first place, because some of the stuff is weird anyway.
You can see the whole extensive gallery here, but here are the ones that spoke to me:
Fish in a tub doesn't appeal to me in the first place, but come on. I don't read German but I don't think it implies fish soaked in Pepto-Bismol. Yeech.
On some level this is kind of your fault for buying a cheeseburger in a plastic bag.
Yeah, not quite on this pizza- it's like 2 dozen peppers vs. 2 peppers.
This one has the additional problem of appearing to be a hot dog wrapped in a granola bar.
This one might be the saddest of all. The clump of noodles brings a tear to my eye.
Sigh. This one is like a metaphor for expectations vs. real life.

great post karen. the way i see it, maybe the germans were actually being helpful. after eating the fish in a tub, you won't have to get the pepto anymore because its already in there for you.
