We all have seen the TV advertisements showing shiny, juicy, delicious food which makes us wonder why that burger doesn't look half as tempting in real life. We eat with our eyes first but don’t believe in what you see. It’s all a trick that the advertisers use to make us look like simpletons.

Here are few of them:

1.) A deodorant makes fruit shiny

2.) Engine oil instead of maple syrup

3.) Burger patties are colored with shoe polish

4.) Glycerin keeps seafood looking fresh

5.) Glucose syrup for Chinese noodles

6.) Cardboard inside the cake

7.) Liquid soap creates foam

8.) Mashed potatoes instead of ice cream

9.) Shaving cream instead of whipped cream

10.) Plastic ice cubes

11.) Sparkling drinks with antacids

12.) Chicken stuffed with paper towels

13.) Sauces are prepared with wax

14.) Steam is artificial using cotton balls or a steamer
