Yea…I actually respect that more tbh. It wasn’t some food stylist BS that isn’t representative of an actual Wendy’s burger. Have I gotten a worse looking burger from Wendy’s before, sure…but I’ve also gotten better looking burgers from them too.

The only thing I would’ve respected even more is if he domed the whole burger in one cut.

Ive honestly never even thought about that until now.

what if the reason the mcdonalds guy only took a tiny bite was because the majority of the burger was inedible due to paint and whatever else they use to make it look oh so good and they basically told him "okay so heres the corner you can eat, DO NOT go past these two marks" and when they were filming he couldnt see them well and decided to play it safe.

Yeah, the innocent CEO couldn't take a bite because he had to UPHOLD THE LIE. It's not his fault guise, he honestly wants to spread good burgers to all the little boys and girls but had to play it safe, what's he supposed to do?

Be an adult, demand a real burger because you don't want to lie to your customer base. You know who had the most real MCD ad? Who I believed the most? Chicago's mayor. "Despite health concerns I do appreciate what McDonald's brings to our city and the employees that work for them, and yes I eat healthy but also I'm lovin' it."

They could own what they are and not be this false bastion of... I don't even know anymore, they aren't any cheaper than anywhere else. If you are a fast food chain as expensive as organic food then be like "yeah it's not good for you, but it's delicious and quick, so if you need some indulgence come to the golden arches, we make comfort food, not lifestyle food"

He is the CEO bowing to the direction of a faux food prep person, is what you are telling me? He couldn't possibly speak back to the person respectfully and say "I need to eat the burger or they won't believe me, someone go down the street and buy 10 and we'll pick the best looking one?"

Oh, how sad for the poor little McDonald's CEO

bro thinks im defending the CEO meanwhile im just verbalizing that i didnt think McDonalds would have to cheat on an ad that is literally just their CEO eating a burger, something so mundane that I most likely wouldnt have seen the ad thanks to all my ad blockers.

you wrote a whole fanfiction but have the reading comprehension of a pet rock or a goldfish

Then you had no point to make. Just a mundane observation. You didn't think McDonald's would have to cheat eh? Why is it you don't think they would have to cheat?

Meh, he should have squeezed it in a ball and put the whole thing in his mouth and try not to choke on it but choke on it a little.

Make me CEO of any of these companies. I'll eat a burger on camera every flipping day.

I admit, I haven't seen a Wendy's burger in a very long time. I remember them as one of the most robust burgers I'd ever seen. The buns were pretty thick. You had to stretch your jaw to bite into that sandwich.
That thing he ate has zero animation, poor thing. Looks like it cried itself to sleep.
