Did you know...


...that the words "eat" “eat,” “feast on,” and “taste” are prohibited from being used by fast food chains in their advertising? The FCC did approve the following:  “purchase,” “be near to,” “look at,” and “hold.”

"…In keeping with the false advertising subchapter of the FTC Act of
1914, the fast food chain is prohibited from setting its commercials in
a kitchen, dining room, or any space generally associated with the act
of eating. It is also not permitted to show people chewing, rubbing
their stomachs contentedly, or exiting a bathroom stall with a look of
relief that suggests they have digested the product. Utensils of any
kind are also expressly forbidden, even when held by an animated
character".
