Customer: How come Mcdonald’s quarter pounder look good in ad, but when I order the burger, it look like s**t?

SINGAPORE — A customer who was dissatisfied with the appearance of the Quarter Pounder burger he ordered from McDonald’s at Tampines GreenView posted photos of the fast food giant’s advertisements in comparison with what he received so that other netizens could see the difference for themselves.

On Thursday (Feb 9), on the popular COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page, the customer, Mr Dan Lee wrote, “How come the mcdonalds quarter pounder look good in ad but when I order the burger look like sht.”

He added three photos to his post. The first picture is from a McDonald’s ad that shows two burgers; one with two meat patties and two slices of cheese, and another with a single meat patty between two slices of cheese.

Both burgers have ketchup and mustard, as well as diced onions and sliced pickles, and look very appetizing indeed.

The second and third photos show a burger in the customer’s hand with a very thin patty topped by a slice of cheese, what appears to be a single piece of onion, and a thin smear of ketchup. It doesn’t look nearly as appetizing as the burgers in the photo.

A number of commenters told Mr Lee that they believe the wrong patty had been put on his burger order.

Others seemed to agree, noting how thin the patty looked.

True to its name, the Quarter Pounder is supposed to have a beef patty with a precooked weight of 4.25 ounces, which is larger than a quarter of a pound, or 120 grams of meat.

One commenter even asked if it was just a “normal cheese burger?”

The Independent Singapore has reached out to McDonald’s for comment.

The video below shows what goes on in a photo studio to show how food stylists and photographers make McDonald’s burgers look so good.
