Ads vs Real Fast Food

[ThoughtCriminal]

5. Remember when the FTC did not allow this sort of false advertising?

Like when Campbells Soup put clear marbles in bowls of soup that it photographed to make it look heftier?

FTC busted that scam - but that was decades ago.

FTC...... § 238.2 Initial offer.

(a) No statement or illustration should be used in any advertisement which creates a false impression of the grade, quality, make, value, currency of model, size, color, usability, or origin of the product offered, or which may otherwise misrepresent the product in such a manner that later, on disclosure of the true facts, the purchaser may be switched from the advertised product to another.
(b) Even though the true facts are subsequently made known to the buyer, the law is violated if the first contact or interview is secured by deception.
