McDonald's grills press the meat patties in real-world production. It drives out fluids and the finished product appears smaller than one cooked by different methods.

Which doesn't make the ads any less shammy. "Here is a representation of the product produced in a way that is nothing like the actual process to produce said product in an attempt to make the product look better than it actually is". Hmmm...

"We cooked this using a completely different process to make a more appealing image to sell you."

Again a good explanation, but it doesn't make it any less of a lie to show a larger patty.

It could very well be the same size patty, just nearly uncooked.

Oops—my response was unclear. I should have said "seemingly-larger" patty. My complaint is that they're cooked completely differently, leading to a final image where the patty appears larger than anything you would get from a McDonalds.
