Food Packaging


Pictures of food on food packages always seem to be perfect. For example, if there is a picture of a hamburger, there is just enough lettuce and tomatoe showing, the bunn looks soft and fluffy, the meat looks juicy and the cheese is melted to perfection. Howver, when you actually get the food, the lettuce may be wilted, the tomatoe green, the bunn greasy, the meat much thinner than in the picture, and the cheese is half-way on teh patty and half-way hanging off the side of the burger. Not that I really mind that much cause it still tastes pretty much the same, but I just realized that they make food look so much tastier on the packages. Its a great way to get people to buy it! I've noticed this since I was little, but have never thought of it as a marketing ploy.
