What are your thoughts on the differences between what is pictured (advertised) and what is ultimately given to the consumer? Isn't it the marketers' responsibility to make their product(s) look as attractive as possible when promoting? Discuss.

Truth in Advertising
Courtney shared a graphic with me the other day that spoke to our topic discussed earlier in the semester of being misled by marketing. It is, no doubt, irritating to consumers to be shown one thing and to receive something that looks (a bit?) different.

From my experiences with fast food, I have never had a Taco Bell taco look like that. Although, I definitely have had McDonalds and Burger King burgers that resemble this picture. I feel like the restaurant could make their food look like the advertisements, they just choose not to. They choose quantity with their efficient, mass-produced burgers instead of quality that the customers should receive and the restaurant should be held to producing.
