The food stylists crawl all over ready meals too and give them a makeover for the pack fronts to tempt us in with their appetising images. Then we cook it exactly per the instructions and end up with something that looks nothing like the packaging. The only answer .... make your own and you know exactly what you're getting.

Ask the question, did it grow that way? I think you have to ask yourself when you look at food these days how much human interference has taken place from growth to packaging to consumption.

And what do we get? Software is the same actually. Bells and witless on the web sites and the packaging, when in reality some of it does not do even the basic functions we would expect them, or have been lead to believe by the marketing.

In my opinion this kids the consumers. If I'd have seen their ad and then bought their burger, I'd never come again. Whoever invented this marketing strategy has failed his job. It's normal that companies use small tricks - nowadays the consumers are aware of it. But this is anticompetitive. This is a really extreme example. In my opinion this kids the consumers.

That's how they'd get out of it - nothing is to scale.
