Burger advertisements have one job – to get you to spend your money on a delicious piece of fast food.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for consumers, the burger your receive does not always look as appealing as the advertised version which got you to the store.<\/p>\n

We decided to take a look at just how big the differences are between “real-life” burgers and their airbrushed counterparts – by purchasing burgers from popular local fast food joints and comparing them to the related adverts.<\/p>\n

The method was simple: go to a restaurant, buy a burger, and take a photo of it. The burgers where transported with care, and were not disturbed from the state in which they were served to us.<\/p>\n

The photos below show how the real-life versions stack up against their corresponding adverts. (Advertised on the left, real-life on the right)<\/em>.<\/p>\n
