    The Burger King Whopper is a joke.

    The McDonalds Big MAC isn't too far fetched.

    The Subway sandwich is disadvantaged by the fact that they can be so personally customised that it may be just a case of differing ingredient lists.

    The biggest visual difference looks to me to be the ad images crisp, green, leafy lettuce and the actual product's shredded stalks and wilted centres.

    I had food poisoning yesterday (spoiling a hot date, WTF), and today it's meant that I have no appetite and have to remind myself to eat.

    But I looked at that photo and wanted one. Obviously I am still ill.

  • Anne M,

    Robyn, I think you're delirious. You might want to seek medical advice, the hallucinations are getting serious. Your food-poisoning may be turning into septicaemia.

    No, they're from the United States of Advertising.

    I presume this is not Mr Slack's normal luncheon, or is there some other explanation for his trim figure?

    Leigh: a tin of salmon and two pieces of toast for lunch. And an orange. Don’t let anyone tell you that writers lead fabulous exotic lives.

  • InternationalObserver,

    <spooky!>

    I typed that in, previewed it, and then thought the better of it.

    I think I shall just have to start my own site where I can say whatever I like with impunity....

    (but if we're both thinking it then it must be true, right?)

    You mean it isn't all wine and nibbly bits at book launches and long afternoon lunches on your publishers account?!?!?!?

    The Burger King Whopper is a joke.

    And the joke is... their advertisements contain the most enormous whoppers!

  • Jeremy Andrew,

    Are you talking whoppers as in porkies or as in bristols? Either way, good call...
