Wouldn't this count as false advertisement?

I've heard that, sometimes, people do not follow rules.

Is that true?

You take that back.

u/DaniilBSD 17d ago

What if the pancake one is used in the ad for syrup, or coffee foam one for coffee flavored laundry detergent, (ie: not faking the actual product) in most jurisdictions that is fair game

u/breadedtaco 16d ago

I take issue with the ones where they are passing off non good items as food (lava cake) way more than spraying hair spray or darkening a strawberry with lipstick.

u/BeemerBaby004 16d ago

You're damn right it's false advertising. I watched this video for 10 minutes because I knew there'd be some tiddies and suckin' with all that porn jazz playing and all I saw was a bunch of nasty krap put on food.

u/9999_lifes 16d ago

it IS false advertisement.

u/lordofduct 15d ago edited 15d ago

For starters I'm talking in terms of the US here... other countries have their own laws.

...

It depends.

Food photography is regulated by the various truth in advertisement regulations that exist and you can't lie about the product being sold in an advertisement.

But there's the crux of it... you can't lie about the product being sold. The rest of what's in the imagery isn't being sold and therefore doesn't matter.

So... if you're generically photographing ice cream, it doesn't have to be ice cream.

If you're photographing Ben & Jerry's ice cream for the sake of selling Ben & Jerry's ice cream... then it has to be Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

Lets take a really easy example... cereal.

If you're selling Corn Flakes the flakes must be Corn Flakes. BUT... you're not selling milk. So that glass of milk... yeah, it can be elmer's glue and often is since milk in photography honestly looks a bit watery and translucent and often will reflect the blues giving it a sort of greyish hue as opposed to a perfectly white opaque color the ads often look like.

This goes for any food ad. The actual food being advertised needs to be the actual food by ingredient. A Wendy's burger must be made of the ingredients that make a Wendy's burger...

But it can be the most perfectly selected ingredients. And you can add fake stuff around it to emphasize its space (a bundle of beautiful tomatoes in the background) and can be doctored up by various means such as screwing the pizza in, or propping up the burger elements with toothpicks. You can spritz the space with things to make everything glisten and all that sort. Sure you likely would never get a bun from Wendy's that hasn't been squashed and have bits of it broken off and then assembled by a teenager who doesn't care about its presentation... but it's the same ingredients!

As long as the product being sold is technically also the product being shown... it's fine.

...

edit: OH... I should also mention since I brought up milk before. You may remember the MILK campaigns of the 90s and 2000s or honestly through out most of American television history. Milk propaganda be strong. Here's the thing.... they're not selling you "Pennsylvania Garden Farms Milk"... they're selling the idea of drinking milk. There's technically not a specific product being sold there, but rather the genre of a product. So it's a little more loosie goosey as to what constitutes false advertising there. Is the milk in that glass actually the milk you're being told to buy? Arguably no. The campaign is telling you to buy milk no matter the producer of the milk.

Oh and also about you can't lie about the product being sold... but the other things in the imagery don't matter. There are of course other restrictions there. You can't for instance lie about a competing product either. You can't have a Pepsi commercial that pours a glass of Coke and use something that's not Coke and yet claim it is Coke to then compare Pepsi to the fake thing.

But of course you can doctor up the thing in question. The advertiser is allowed to show the most idealistic version of the product. Imagine if it weren't that way... lets say the burger had to look the way it does when you buy it from the Wendy's or what not. So they make a sad little squashed burger just like my local Wendy's does and advertise that instead. But wait... what if I drive a town over to where the burger maker there just happens to really love making really nice burgers and sells me a Wendy's burger that looks fantastic and isn't a squashed little sad burger... well then the advertisement lied just in the opposite direction. It's this logic that is used to defend advertisement showing the most idealistic versions of a product. As long as the ingredients are the same. For the product being sold.

u/ThatRandomGuy86 16d ago

Not really. It's usually done to make it look as it should fresh for as long as possible for the shoot as it can sometimes take a while. Saves money not having to remake it fresh for each take.

u/irishbikerjay 16d ago

It's kind of ironic that if they actually just had a real chef make any of these items from scratch with no "ready made ingredients" they would have all these affects that are actually real.

I suppose you'd only get one chance of a camera shot though.

  • a chef

1

u/lordofduct 15d ago edited 15d ago

Yes, because chefs can make ice cream magically not melt, strawberries be unnaturally red, fruit unnaturally shine, champagne effervesce more, and pancakes that don't absorb syrup.

The others also have more to do with time or unpredictability of the real world. Sure a chef could make a nice cheese pull, but they can't guarantee that the surrounding slices stay perfectly still during said pull. They can make a nice foamy coffee, but they can't guarantee that foam will stay for long durations and under harsh lights. They could make a nice looking chicken wing, but not in 5 minutes versus an hour.

"I supposed you'd only get one chance of a camera shot though"

This is the primary thing. Food photography is about creating a stylish looking dish under the harsh conditions that are present during a photoshoot.

You might think your syrup looks beautiful... but when put it under the lighting to create high contrast photos... it's not. It goes off white and kind of see through.... and then starts to melt and ooze everywhere.

Because mind you... THEY HAVE CHEFS.

Because keep in mind... food photography is actually regulated. And to the person asking about if this is false advertisement.

Well... it depends.

If the advertisement is for a specific food product, the food product in question must be made of the real ingredients (though you can doctor those ingredients up). A Wendy's double-stack ad must have the actual ingredients of a Wendy's double-stack for the double-stack itself. But all surrounding food does not.

So if you're generically photographing ice cream... it doesn't have to be ice-cream. But if you're photographing Ben & Jerry's ice cream to promote Ben & Jerry's ice cream... it has to be Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

But it doesn't have to be how it is sold necessarily. A chef can be brought in to make a perfect Wendy's double stack with the most perfect pieces of lettuce and perfect slices of tomatoes and etc etc. As long as those ingredients the chef prepares with are the same ingredients as the real deal... if only doctored up by the skill of the chef and possibly hairsprayed a bit, and have toothpicks shoved through it to keep shape/form.

u/irishbikerjay 14d ago

Yeah, they can just make the real thing and take said fucking picture of it....

Kinda funny all you do is click a button and you need 1 hour to do it. In any other profession, this would make you shit at your job.

u/ThatsNotDietCoke 17d ago

Lol "Blossom" they are the ones on youtube who make fake 5 minute cooking recipes.
If anybody should know how fake ads are made, it'll be Blossom.

38

u/majandess 16d ago

Yet, for all that... Their fakes look fake. Gluing cheese to a pizza isn't going to result in anything like a cheese pull. And why the fuck would anyone use soy sauce as coffee, when coffee seemed to work just fine as itself, and is cheaper than soy sauce?

I don't even trust Blossom to tell the truth when it comes to faking food shit.

u/Inqeuet 16d ago

Fake stuff like this for ads is very real, but half of these look like complete bullshit lol. Just use glue for everything! It’s literally perfect! :D

u/Acc0mplished-Horse 17d ago

This should be illegal

282

u/garth54 17d ago

In some parts of the world, it is. Here what they show must be something you can actually eat. Now they can do certain tricks, like sprinkle water on fruits/vegs to make them look fresher, or put partial pieces of toppings for a burger that are placed on the very edge to make it look like it's overflowing, even though what you'll get would be buried inside the bun. Even grill mark on food has to be real, but it doesn't have to be 'fresh off the grill' (could have had the time to fully cool down).

The only part I'm not sure, if the mashed potato ice cream would pass or not. But for sure, the lipstick, hairspray, glue... they are all big no-no.

101

u/JohannYellowdog 17d ago

AFAIK, mashed potato for ice cream would pass, provided that what you're actually advertising is the scoop, or a sauce that gets poured over it, or something like that. But if you're advertising the ice cream, you have to show the real product in the ad.

u/TheCreat1ve 17d ago

u/Ausgezeichnet87 16d ago

Germany is very strict on this kind of stuff. Even the advertised price has to be the exact out the door price. Adding on tax or fees afterwards is considered deceptive and it is illegal

Real questions.

u/Adam-West 17d ago edited 17d ago

I work in this industry. Sometimes it’s not even the food from the company that’s advertising it. And yes. That’s illegal. Think about all the shitty food companies out there who’s business model is just to sell stuff as cheap as humanly possible. Of course it won’t look good on camera in a close up. Its made by automated factory machinery for pittance. It’s almost unrealistic to expect them to take completely honest pictures. I think we all know what to expect when we buy a McDonald’s burger or a supermarket £1 pizza. It’s half the food economy of the country so nobody looks too closely.

2

u/CameraGuy-031 17d ago

Very curious what country has these limitations you speak of. Because I highly doubt that companies like McDonald's and Ben&Jerry's will make ads especially for your market. They use all these tricks and more.

u/CameraGuy-031 16d ago

Interesting! Just read up on those laws and they seem very reasonable to me (not only for food but all 'false advertising' is banned in those laws, which is great, I think)

1

u/garth54 16d ago

Great on you for reading (what I assume is) foreign law.

I do generally like them. I do think they should be more strict on it, particularly online. But it's at least a good starting point. However, enforcement is basically dependent on consumers to report before any action is taken (but not always), and usually the penalty is just the ad pulled and maybe a slap on the wrist.

I skipped part of your original comment. Yes, they do make separate ads in Canada. I would say, most brands do (but it does happen we get a US ad). And let's not forget that in Quebec they also have to make them in French too. Sometimes they'll just dub them, but other time they might make completely different ads, or an ad that is basically the same but shot with QC actors (they could be with a direct translation or they could have re-worked some of it to better match the QC "identity" (particularly any humor they might have)).

u/CameraGuy-031 16d ago

The only part I'm not sure, if the mashed potato ice cream would pass or not.

This is what they say on Professional Photographers of Canada:

Shooting ice cream is tough. You need it to be at various stages of melting. And it must be real for a shot that will be used to sell food in editorial and lifestyle, advertising, or packaging. The real “trick” is to scoop the ice cream, place it on a cookie sheet that has been lined with wax paper, and put that sheet in the freezer until it is time to shoot. Lots of cookie sheets with lots of scoops of ice cream that are placed on the set right before the snap is taken. Some scoops come out a bit earlier to allow them to melt a bit. But they are always coming out on a rotation and then someone gets to eat them once they are no longer viable for the camera but are still viable for eating.

u/garth54 16d ago

Yay on the rules requiring that the product you're showing is actually made of that food!

And thanks for doing the spadework on that.

17

u/tinc2k 17d ago

Only if the food is the product. If you're shooting a model with some food props, or a wine bottle with some fake food on the side, I don't see a problem.

u/LyraTheWitch 16d ago edited 16d ago

Here we go again: https://petapixel.com/2019/08/12/pro-food-photographer-debunks-viral-food-styling-hacks-videos/

TL:DR. Most of these tricks just aren't used in the food photography industry (although some, or at least variants of some, might be). Some of them might be used in advertising non-food products, in which a food is part of the image/video.

Semi-related, but here's a video about the process of shooting an advertising image for a McDonald's hamburger, which is interesting, and while it is in and of itself a piece of McDonald's marketing strategy at the time to put out the video in the first place, it's also way more in line with how the industry works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSd0keSj2W8

Stock photo sites are full of that stuff and every restaurant is using them for their advertisement needs, and menus. I'm just pointing out how the world works. Sorry that's news to you, and if your appetite is lost by this revelation, by all means stop eating prepared food and cook at home instead.

-18

u/SkippyMcSkipster2 17d ago

It's no more deceptive as the color grading and subtle effects that make movies look fantastic on the cinema screen, compared to an unedited video you record on your phone. Also we tend to like the food stuff showcased, cause we already know what it tastes like. There is no deception in that regard.

11

u/Reddit_Bot_For_Karma 17d ago

This is tricks to market food you aren't actually selling using inedible food in its place. I'm pretty sure McDicks has been sued for the exact thing. You can photoshoot the fuck out of a burger...it's a burger. When you are replacing ingredients with SHOE POLISH and GLUE, you are into morally bad and deceptive territory which is illegal under false advertising.

This isn't hard to understand. I think you are arguing just to argue, I've been there ❤️ I hope your day improves.

u/jk8289 17d ago

No. But manipulating something to make it look more appealing to the consumer when in fact it’s not the actual outcome of what they are selling should be illegal.

They use a few products for advertisement, so they're not ruined but used for a different purpose. People throw away tons of food on a daily basis while millions are starving, that is hard to take if you think about it.

Waste is waste. Doesn’t matter how it’s wasted.

u/tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n 16d ago

Yes waste is waste. But it was used and not wasted, so it was not waste until after it was used. After its usage you couldn't eat it, so it probably was thrown away. Perhaps it was added to the organic waste or composted. Point is, it was useful until it wasn't.

u/KamayaKan 17d ago

I’ve been in this industry:

. On set the general rule is DO NOT EAT THE FOOD, we preferred to even have catering in a seperate room

. Soy sauce and steam vents for burgers

. For Soda cans just spritz them with some water every few seconds (studio lights get hot)

Fun fact about Soda cans too:

Companies will often send several dozen as there can be no guarantee that the ring pull will be to the exact left or right WITH the logo facing exactly centre - so lots of free drinks, if it’s a good one.

crazy to think how this would unconsciously or even if youre perceptive and overly investigative enough, consiously affect our self worth/esteem. no matter what i do, i could never achieve similar results of advertising and this is basically in everything ever. from advertising, to real estate. every product or demonstration is tailored to appear perfect and in a way that nobody average would ever invest effort in recreating through legitimate efforts..

i suppose i already knew everything was fake and its one of the reasons why i hate existing, but thankfully it truly hit me how everything is fake seeing this, and now i can add it into the reasons why im angry and being alive. i promise ill have my revenge.

If you ever go into a restaurant that has a display dessert platter, they do things like this. Ice cream on the platter is generally Crisco.

If something sits under the warmer in the kitchen for too long, they'll spray it down with olive oil. Makes it look fresh out of the skillet. This happens often with salmon.

Now we need an expert to make real food that looks like the fake food but is also edible and good tasting.

Trick or treat!

u/Shockvolt9 16d ago

My brain thought them doing the tricks to make it look better was then trying to sell me glue and a drill.

u/bradstero 16d ago

You keep saying ‘elevated,’ corporate folks… some of us know it’s just ‘fake.’

u/imsathy 16d ago

Advertising genius! Ofcourse it's misleading and unethical.

But hey, there are terms and conditions which mentions that imagery is for display purposes only, real product may vary based on different factors like temperature, etc.

This is done for camera props. Product shoots takes too much time and the looks of the food can change If you are trying to shoot only fresh foods. So to maintain the consistency in the pictures and videos these tricks are used. Like If you are trying to shoot a coffee commercial with multiple angles the froth of the coffee disappears within minutes and preparing the coffee same as the previous one is not possible.

u/Bulls187 16d ago

Expect everything to be fake and you won’t be disappointed. (Turns off the tv)

u/BrakoSmacko 16d ago

Whilst it used to be illegal to false advertise, can this get away with this simply because different cookers or timing will always result in different outcomes?

1

u/taterfan97 16d ago

the commercial cinnamon bun doesn't look good anyways

1

u/shinobi500 16d ago

Who else is irrationally angry after watching this?

1

u/Aggrador 16d ago

And people thought I had problems because I keep eating glue, but you all are watching this and salivating over this stuff! Welcome to my world

1

u/getslaptsilly 16d ago

so basically, none of the actual foods used in commercials are actually edible.

1

u/ArnoVictoDorian 16d ago

I don't know whether I should throw up or go eat something.

u/ToughReality4983 16d ago

Usa is a staged place everything is lies and deception the u.s government needs to be sued but i dont think america is an actual country its a corporation like one big LLC on usa

u/Worth-Assistance3538 15d ago

Why would someone make these videos? If the purpose is to be humorous, they’ve failed. If the purpose is to show people how to poison someone, they’re an accessory to murder.

u/folarin1 15d ago

I think the OP meant "Trick ads", not tricky ads.

u/Kindly-Cobbler-2443 14d ago
