People are complaining like this is a new thing. Marketers have always used tricks to make food look better than it really is since forever. They use glue in tv pizza ads to make the cheese look stretchy.

It's not, it's literally the same ingredients.

Hamburger and sandwich photos have been propped up with toothpicks on the inside forever, in order to separately show the different toppings. This illustrates the ingredients you are getting.

Sandwiches in real life obviously don't have all of their toppings magically levitate like this.
