Examples of hyperreality
- a sports drink of a flavour that doesn't exist ("wild ice zest berry")
- a plastic Christmas tree that looks better than a real Christmas tree ever could
- a magazine photo of a model that has been touched up with a computer
- a well manicured garden (nature as hyperreal)
- Disney World, Las Vegas and Dubai (the first e.g. discussed by Boje, 1995)
- pornography ("sexier than sex itself")
- entertainment news programming and supermarket tabloids
