MediocreFilms went to McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Jack in the Box and asked them to make a burger that looked like their advertisements. Surprisingly, they all did a pretty good job. It wasn’t always a perfect recreation, but it was certainly better than the disappointing flaccid reality of the first go around. With some tender love and care, even a fast food burger can look yummy in real life.
