Ever seen a Big Mac/Whopper look anything like those pictures on the posters outside?

Or the Old El Paso boxes which shows a fajita stuffed with chicken yet the instructions say "add 200g chicken". There's about a kilo in just one fajita on the box!

Some of them are so stupid, take the veggie soup pack for example, it shows brocolli and cauliflower in the soup, of course it's not going to contain brocolli or cauliflower since the package is so thin!
