It's probably more like, most people already know the food in those ads is fake (it is pretty obvious) and if you go ahead and order it anyway, it's on you.
The 'buyer beware' thing again.
I still think food styling is kind of a dick move, though. Is it THAT hard to use real food? You can even eat it after you're done with the ad!
I don't know if it's still the case, but I know the food in at least some adds was real a few years ago. I heard a story about how they were required to use the actual food in the adds, so they would go thousands of the different ingredients to find ones that looked absolutely perfect. I think that might have been more for frozen meals and things like that, instead of fast food.It's probably more like, most people already know the food in those ads is fake (it is pretty obvious) and if you go ahead and order it anyway, it's on you.

Sure, why not?
Shoots take hours and food safety laws kick in after 2 to 3 hours. So, no, they can't because they cannot predict the results.I still think food styling is kind of a dick move, though. Is it THAT hard to use real food? You can even eat it after you're done with the ad!
Why? I trust those as much as I trust fast food ads but again it's a business. Until you make it less of a business, i.e. pharmaceutical companies don't spend so much to make the damn thing, they are going to what a return on investment. I know it's weird to want to make money as a business.
There are laws the prohibit them for using fake food in advertisements. They used to use all sorts of non-edible finishes to make the product look good. Now, there's nothing prohibiting them from using great care to make the food that isn't permitted in the actual food line or after it's bounced around inside the bag until you get to eat it.It's probably more like, most people already know the food in those ads is fake (it is pretty obvious) and if you go ahead and order it anyway, it's on you.

That was a glitch. Season 4 for available again.

And I could understand if it was just an "equal opportunity" thing... but even though they operate here in Canada, they didn't send out a "Happy Canada Day" email on July 1. (Although maybe they only sent those to their American contacts! )
I can't stand speaker mode. More frustrating for me is the fact that my wife's voice is in the upper registers of sound, and microphones just don't like to pick up her voice. So she uses speaker mode, speaker mode picks up all the background noise and I want to scream.
Head phones? That's not exactly new fangled tech.
I sympathize.
This reminds me of something that is a bit of a minor annoyance for me, when people are out in public and have music or audiobooks playing through the phone's speakers. Not everyone wants to hear what you're listening to, this is why headphones and earbuds are a thing.
