Advert tricks and offers that are too good to be true, sentence 1

Food is styled and photographed to look perfect; «Hurry, only today!» rushes you so you stop thinking; «new and improved» may mean only a new box; companies pay films to show their drinks (product placement); and tiny writing like «results may vary» hides the real limits.

Who acts: you, new, companies, tiny writing · What happens: style, photograph, look, hurry, rush, stop · To what, where: Food, you, new box, films, drinks, real limits · Speech: someone speaks here
