There is an abundance of weird, crazy and absurd stories happening every day around the world that are not covered by national or local news stations.

Recently, videos have emerged on Twitter and Instagram showing ways of false commercial advertising for food products. Many users have taken to those apps to share their disappointment and so-called betrayal after these tricks were revealed by Blossom, a social media account.

For example, cardboard is used to stack in between pancakes to create a fluffier illusion; shaving cream in place of whipped cream on a pie slice and even milk is replaced by white glue so toppings will stay afloat to create the perfect picture.

These videos have millions of hits and leave viewers to question if there is really more to it than meets the eye.
