During a 2007 episode of Iron Chef America, the 24-hour food channel became a delicious suspect in subliminal wrongdoing. Spliced into a chef showdown segment was a logo for McDonald’s, which flashed on the screen for a brief moment. After Internet investigators accused the company of burrowing even further into our impressionable brains, McDonald’s denied the claims, telling USA Today that “we don’t do subliminal advertising.” Food Network declared the screen shot a “technical error.”
