"Takeaway Truth" adds vs reality.

Laughed hard at this one. Especially after the fast food outlets in New South Wales were found to be rather lacking in food hygiene recently, ending up on the name and shame list of companies fined for inadequate food standards a large number of times.

This is from Life Hacker:
Takeaway Truth is an occasional Lifehacker feature where we compare marketing images against what you actually get served. Today: Hungry Jack’s Ultimate Double Whopper and Deluxe Country Burger. more 
And here's the yummy reality of the Hungry Jacks add, vs what it's actually selling:

Ultimate double whopper.

Wow. Just… wow. We don’t feel a critique is necessary here. Just look at it. The only ‘whopper’ in that photo is the big fat lie Hungry Jack’s is selling us. Terrible.
Delux country burger. 
We suppose the Deluxe Country burger isn’t too bad — if you ignore the almost complete lack of salad and the fact that the meat patty looks like a dog poo. (These are difficult things to ignore, admittedly.)
Would you like salmonella with your fries?

There's a link on the site to previous investigations of theirs, including McDonalds.
