Food For Thought

Seems like in the middle of the day there's nothing on TV at all. But there sure are enough commercials. The one thing about commercials that I enjoy, are the food ones. Yeah, I'm talking about food commercials that look almost as good as art.
You know you'll never go to Burger King, and the Whopper will never look like the one you seen on TV. The bun will have evenly dispersed sesame seeds but it will be smashed. The grease and oils pouring out onto the wrapper. Ketchup, mustard, and the garnishes will be all chaotic like a bomb went off between the buns. It may taste fantastic, but it sure did not look like art! Pizza's are the closest things that I think actually look like the commercial. But pizza's are supposed to be thrown together, and that's what they look like. The commercials are good at catching your eye when you're sitting around at midnight with nothing to do, when a sandwich pops up on the screen. It's steaming hot, juicy, fresh, looks like there is nothing out of place. The fries are golden, slightly crispy. And there's a large cold refreshing coke, with dew on the outside of the cup. Mmmm! So, you run to the restaurant and ask for the meal. What you get is nothing what you seen on TV. That's why they don't have signs that say, 'as seen on TV', on the wrapper. So you eat it anyway, and it tastes great. Now, you're not hungry anymore. Seems like those commercials give false hope, but still are tasty!
Maybe I should advertise using pictures of my cooking. That I could make some money, and still make great tasting food at the same time. I guess people don't care how it looks sometimes, just that it's fast. At least convo doesn't have commercials about it's food.
