Nothing looks exactly same in real life as in advertising, the delicious looking food that we see in television commercials is rarely the real one. Advertisers use many tricks to make viewers believe that they use real food in TV commercials. Let us have a look at some of the most popular ways by which advertisers fool us.
1. Liquid soap for creating foam
Advertisers use liquid soap as it looks attractive and similar to the real foam.
2. Colouring mashed potatoes instead of ice-cream
Ice-creams can melt very quickly under the light of cameras so mashed potatoes are coloured to avoid the melting issue.
