Looks nice but are the pictures staged. Almost any McD hamburger in a McD ad appears about as high as it it wide. Of course if you order one and unwrap it, the height is about 20% of its diameter.

Cute/Fun idea, but in reality (in the culinary world) this is ultra-processed food that shouldn't be consumed by anybody. Wrong on so many levels, including loss of food integrity, and I'd imagine excessive levels of sodium and fat. Then again, the food was pretty much in excess as just fast/junk food. No thanks.

Of course they are staged. That's the whole point.

As the website says, "These photographs show extreme makeovers of actual fast food items purchased at popular fast food restaurants. No additional ingredients have been added except for an occasional simple garnish."

Interesting concept on boiling down soft drinks for their syrup to use in various dishes... but some of the items- lets just say I won't be trying @ home~

This is an old trick in the book.... Coca-Cola makes a great base for home made BBQ sauce to use with ribs...
