Why do commercials lie about their products?

because most products do not live up to there adds and the companies know if they get you to buy there product by over hyping it then you will buy it welcome to capitalism

because thats how they make money they EXAGGERATE (not always downright lie) about everything there product does or exaggerate how big the burger/how many fries youll get at the fast food place this is because not many people want to own a product that does a half-crap job and because not many people want to go to a fast food store after seeing the REAL sized burger/fries you get and what they actually look like

Using your logic all advertisers are idiots and dont know what they’re doing. Some how I think that after decades of selling products, they perhaps know more than someone who has had no training in advertisement or sales. I doubt that no one on earth (apart from you) has noticed that lying causes businesses to fail. I’m pretty sure they have research to back up their stretching of the truth as effective advertising.
