4 - Shoe Polished Burger Patties\r
You have so many choices when it comes to burgers these days, theres McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, Del Taco, Carls Jr, Roy Rogers, Five Guys, Fat Burger, White Castle, the list for the fast food burgers go on and on. But all of these companies have one thing in common, their burgers served steaming and overflowing in juicy flavor in their commercials are not nearly as good as they look in the advertisements. But theyre still yummy, cheap and a quick solution to dinner when you dont feel like dirtying your hands cooking. Lets begin with the best part of the burger, the patty. Burger patties are nearly raw before the cameras roll, these meaty bits are usually only roasted for a few seconds in order to remain plump and drizzled in juices. But what about those grill marks you ask? Show Polish with hot skewers. The bun is strategically placed in the center, the pickles and onions are also carefully positioned on the border of the bun and the cheese is melted only slightly at the corners so it appears floppy but not congealed. And those condiments? Squirted in with a syringe. Preparation time for a simple single cheeseburger can take several hours of tedious construction. \r

3 - Cardboard Cake\r
Mmmmm, cakes. Sorry had a Homer Simpson moment there. These sweet confectionary baked desserts are perfect for nearly any occasion, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, office parties, farewell gatherings and of course, the inevitable bad breakup binge consumption. However, since most of these yeasty confections are whipped and moist they tend to sag quickly under the glow of bright light. In order to keep cakes dry and perfect, advertisers have learned to interlay the confectionary treats with cardboard and fasten them together with toothpicks. The frosting is added to the cardboard bits and the toothpicks are shoved all the way into the layers of dough so none will be the wiser. That is, until now. \r

2 - The Perfect Beverage \r
For beverages like milk, coffee or beer, ice, froth and foam help to create a refreshing appearance to nearly any drink, but tend to dissolve quickly, so stylists have all kinds of tricks up their sleeves to create this sought after effect. One nifty trick of the trade is to add liquid soap to the liquid concoction to create a stable foam which appears natural, full and attrive. For frozen drinks, like margaritas, the pros often rely on ice powder or bits of gelatin to appear as crushed ice. Plastic or acrylic ice cubes are commonplace in most advertisements and wont melt under camera lights. And for frost? A mug will find itself coated with spray-on deodorant, sometimes a mixture of Scotchguard and glycerin will be used in order to make soft drinks appear icy with beads of delicious looking condensation. \r

1 - Liberty Taco Bell \r
You watched the entire list! You have now earned a special advertising trade secret treat! Some advertisers will go to extreme lengths in order to push their products. One fantastic example of a feat of advertising muscle happened in the year of 1996. The New York Times printed a headline which read, Taco Bell Buys the Liberty Bell! Naturally many Americans couldnt believe their eyes and dropped their morning coffee. The Liberty Bell, one of the countrys most historic iconic treasures would now be known as the Taco Liberty Bell. The ad went on to explain that people have been adopting highways for years, why not national treasures? Thousands called to complain, however, as this announcement came on April first, one would think more would have suspecting trickery. More than 650 print and 400 televised media outlets covered the prank reaching more than 70 million Americans. Taco Bells revenue increased 500,000 that day and 600,000 more the following day, according to Taco Bells marketing department. Even white house spokesperson Mike McCurry got into the prank and revealed that the Lincoln Memorial has also been sold and would now be called the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial. The campaign cost Taco Bell around 300,000 dollars and generated a little over 25 million in free publicity, proving that in advertising tricks to make food look good will go a long way, but a good sense of humour will take you farther.
