    This is so confusing. It doesn’t look like AI because all the print is clear and relevant. If it is a Photoshop it is very very good.

    But I think hope it’s not a real product?

      Real fake product. Like someone actually made the packaging and took the picture, but mike’s does not make hard dawgs.

        I don’t know what happens to hot dog meat if it’s soaked/injected with ethanol to get it to 12% alc/vol (can you even legally have a solid food that specifies a liquid volume %?) but I can’t expect it is anything good.

            Yeah. I had assumed they infused, soaked or injected the ethanol after cooking the hot dogs.

            Also ethanol doesn’t get entirely cooked out of food. It depends on the cooking method and how long. It can take hours for the majority to be cooked out. But unless your dish is mostly alcohol or you’re eating an absolute ton of it, it probably won’t matter for blood alcohol level. It will matter for any recovering alcoholics, though!

      Dalle’s attempt. Way to stylized and symmetrical to my liking but interesting the brand logo is spot on.

      Graphic designer here, my guess would be a Photoshop job. I’m mostly going by the visual qualities of the edge of the thumb, comparing where it appears over the graphic, versus where it appears over the rest of the hand. There’s a slight but discernible difference in the sharpness, that usually indicates masking.

      I did a reverse image search with TinEye, and found a “Colgate Whitening Dogs” version of the same original photo, which supports the Photoshop theory (at least in one of the two images): https://i.imgur.com/IB6rn9E.jpeg . That makes me think the original photo was of a pack of hotdogs where the label was blank / white – That’d let you distort the fake label graphic to roughly match the size and placement of where the real label art would go, and preserve the shadows, highlights and reflections of the packaging using layer styles.

      EDIT: Also, here’s the Insta account for the originator of both of these images, Adam Padilla / adam.the.creator: https://www.instagram.com/adam.the.creator
