    How they make food look good in advertisements

    I thought this was interesting. They don't reveal how they make burgers look so good though.

    I’ve never seen it done but I’ve heard burgers are raw but sprayed with wax for photos. There’s probably more too it.

    At my old job at the gas station we had product photos taken one time. We had to constantly spray the parking lot asphalt with water to make it look darker.

    I've seen a few clips like that. The one where they use motor oil to portray syrup is a favorite- it doesn't soak into the flapjacks.
    Or using a clothes steamer on a painted raw turkey to make the bit they're about to carve look cooked and juicy.
    Or the ever popular use of Elmer's glue instead of milk for cereal.

    Interesting, but I would prefer to watch a video demonstrating how they make some female models in bikinis look so damn perfect.

    Similar to the initial post, they used glue instead of mayonnaise. Those little drops of water you see on the tomatoes are actually glycerin that is put on drop by drop by a skilled artist. I forget all the rest but it is definitely not what you get from a restaurant. Maybe things have changed since then based upon that video from McDonald's.
