1. Gawd that second pic makes it look like the sammich puked itself.

Amusing bit on Weekend Update about this last night: "For an additional dollar you can get the cashier to stab you in the heart."

9. It's probably because it's real

The first one is obviously an ad and I've seen the tricks they do to make burgers and sandwiches to make it look much more appealing than it really is. I can't remember everything they do but I do remember they'll use a tooth pick to keep everything in place, use some kind of brush to paint grill marks on patties, etc. This was back in 2001 so my memory is not clear on this but the ads don't show they same thing they serve you at the chains.

5. I hate to say it, but

That thing looks damn good. I guess it brings out some primal urge in me to eat meat surrounded by meat and fried in a meaty, oily grease. God, I'm drooling.

"Can I help you?" asks the cashier
"No" as you walk over to get a salt shaker off a table... twist off the top and pour it down your throat
