Very interesting! Compare with Sqwertz's photos of the real thing. He
has all of them beaten by the proverbial mile. Or more.

I believe that site was created in the Way Back Machine.

I wonder what their oldest archived page is?
I might go see if I can find out...

I've found the Wayback machine to have been incredibly useful over the
years.

I've often wanted to order from a fast food place,
compare my order to their photographic advert, and
then complained. I haven't done it because I would
be punishing the wrong people. It's not the local
staff who are at fault. However, a class action
suit would be fun, in real life as well as a TV
comedy.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was referring to the Way Back
Machine from the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show of my youth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WABAC_machine

I'm aware of the online wayback machine, but it wasn't what I was
thinking about.

I know a food photographer. He has a whole mess of dirty tricks up his
sleeve designed to fool people into thinking they are getting something
really tasty.
