Some advertizing images make me uncomfortable

Best perhaps to accept that marketing and reality are often "mutually exclusive" of one another, especially when profit is involved. At least to the edges of where they can go relative to government regulation.



Perhaps the answer may be found there....what truly promotes such a perception based only on shapes or positioning of objects in a photo. Maybe exposing something far deeper in your psyche. Or not...
I need to get the apricot out of my head.
 
Let’s show a closeup of a sub sandwich and make everyone hungry. Looks like those commercials with extreme closeup shots of food. Makes me mildly uncomfortable but hungry.

It probably doesn’t look the same in real life.

That always seems to be the case, particularly with fast food hamburgers.

Makes me think that the burger in the photo may have been made from wax or plastic....and airbrushed with vibrant but toxic paint. Plus they have a guy standing by with an air pump to make the burger look fatter and bigger than what you actually get at the drive-through. :rolleyes:

It’s a sub sandwich but it also applies to burgers too… like these below.

One observation I've made over many years with fast food is how employees tend to smash down on the bread/buns when wrapping them up. Making them all look rather poor compared to the ones photographed with almost look as if they were pumped up full of air to make them stand so high in comparison.

So you almost never see fast food delivered into your hands that looks like the photographs. :(
