    This was good to see, because it shows how careless the mcdonalds workers are with displaying the food that you are given.

    I think this video not only simplifies ideas, but also attacks opponents. In this case Mc Donalds, by saying their products don't live up to the expectations they set with their commercials.

    I think this was very beneficial because it showed how stores try to trick you into buying there stuff through better looking pictures, whilst in reality it doesnt look as appealing

    The commercial shows how the advertisement of McDonald's food differentiates from the real food. The video makes people to think about what they eat in McDonald and consider going to a different cafe or shop.

    While the food may be falsely advertised, people have a choice to eat at mcdonalds if they want to. It is not really something that needs to change, because it tastes the same doesn't really matter how it looks.

    this is definetly true, whenever i pass by a comercial of Mc Donalds i can imagine how the hamburger really looks like. This propaganda made the viewer hungry but it also makes some think how mc donalds over exaderates how tasty and good looking their hamburgers are

    That is not even propaganda. Its more anti-propaganda for not even a true propaganda piece, but a simple misguiding ad.

    This is harmful because they are saying how on commercial there meals look all good & presentable but in reality when you go buy your food is raw (not cooked) or dry. This is not ok personally.

    This video is very beneficial because it's letting us know what we are eating and show us what we see on television is not really reality and its so much more unhealthier.

    The comparison of commercial and reality McDonald’s foods should be obvious to those who eat at the fast food chain. From my perspective, it looked like the video was using visual references to explain how commercial food differs from the actual food you buy at McDonald’s. The technique in my opinion used was: Simplify Information and ideas.
