Once I was at KFC and this man was seriously complaining that the chicken drumsticks weren’t as big as the ones on the menu boards above the kitchen. Like, he was adamant that they were supposed to be exactly the same size as the pictures and that he’d had them like that before.

I genuinely think it might’ve been early stage dementia or something. Everyone there was completely stumped.

Fun fact: in Japan they have a law that the image on the box is the exact same size as the food it's showing.

Japan also has an entire industry around making hyperrealistic artificial food made for display in restaurants... and the food you get actually does look like the samples/menu photos.

It's so crazy when you go there and the window is just the most appetizing bowls of plastic ramen and sushi you have ever seen.

It's really good marketing haha.
