Someone noticed a "strange red flash" while watching Iron Chef on the Food Network. It was a subliminal ad for McDonalds! Confused

Ah so that why Mcdonald's is doing so good., and I thought it was the snack wraps.

lol
it's funny, but i'm pretty sure that this is fake, just video editing.
I didn't see the red flash when it happened, but I'm pretty sure if it happened it was just a technical difficulty, not "McDonalds subliminal messaging"

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble
It is funny though.

Real or rigged, neither would surprise me.

They later announced that it was a "technical glitch." Which is their way of skirting thousands of dollars of fines for doing something they shouldn't have done.

I could see it being a legitimate technical glitch if a commercial had started for a few seconds, and then stopped. But to have a single frame embedded like that was intentional in my book.

There is a lot of questios about subliminal advertising.

It started with a lie, actualy .. a FRAUD:

But advertisers still use it, it seems.

But I am immune to it.
