“Penn & Teller’s B*ll Sh*t!” program did a similar thing on one of their programs, taking KFC chicken, burgers from Burger King, MacDonald’s, Jack in the Box, and other fast food restaurants, re-plating them and serving them as food from up-scale restaurants and getting ratings from people who would try the SAME food presented from the same source right next to it in taste tests. It was amazing the differences noted by the “experts” according to what they were told was the source and what they claimed about taste, food value, etc.

It was also amazing when the food value of salt, calories, etc., were tested by a laboratory reported on the nutritional values between the fast food and the upscale restaurant food. . . the Fast Food won every time.

I almost recall Penn and Teller doing the same with dog and cat food and some other stuff. Instant potatoes, maybe some fishing eggs as caviar, etc.
