I want one just like the one on the picture!

People who know us are well aware that we like to indulge in Fast Food from time to time. Equipped with a good metabolism we can eat what we want we hardly ever put on weight.

A few days ago, after we had been busy working our computer, our friend invited us to a late breakfast - at Carls Jr. From all the burger-selling places - McDonalds, BurgerKing etc - we like Carls Jr the most. While the prices are equal the personnel at Carls Jr. is much friendlier and they serve you the burger at the table.

Hungry we ordered the Carls-Jr-Monster-Breakfast. The picture outside the restaurant looked so yummy. We just had to have it. After odering and paying we sat down to enjoy our breakfast.
When we opened the wrapping paper we where disappointed.
The "monster breakfast" was only half the size of the one one the picture.
The bacon didn't look as yummy as on the picture.
The egg didn't look like on the picture.
The bun was only half the size.
In short our breakfast didn't look like the one on the picture.

We waved tothe friendly employee and asked him what he had served us.
"Carls Jr Monster Breakfast!" he answered.
We pointed out that the Monster Breakfast we got served didn't look like the one on the picture.
"But this is a Monster Breakfast!" the employee shrugged before he stalked off. (Meaning, that is all you get - like it or not!)

What do we learn from all this?

Just because something looks good/yummy on a picture doesn't mean it looks that way in reality too.
And that goes not only for burgers...LOL
