I remember watching a TV program where they took some typical fast food (McDonalds, KFC, etc) and presented it on a plate in a way you would expect in a more expensive restaurant. Everybody who tasted it rated it higher than food from the the fast food chain.

It seems many or even most people can't tell the difference and the ambience and service is as important as the food.

Penn & Teller's "Bullshit" show did a similar experiment with "bottled" (actually, tap) water. It turns out most people rate tap water better if it's served in a bottle and told it comes from a natural spring.

It surprises me in the case of frozen patties like McDonald's though. A frozen patty looks nothing at all like an actual burger made from ground meat. It tastes differently as well, of course, but what matters is that it looks completely different!
