比如，广告里的牛肉面，牛肉特别大一块
Is the 里面 being split up with 的牛肉, to talking the beef inside the ad (I feel it isn't), or does 牛肉面 instead mean 'beef cubes'? If so, not sure how 面 represents this. Are beef cubes called 面?
Mandarin Blueprint
牛肉面 = Beef Noodles, does that clear up the confusion?

This is where Luke and Phil talked about your question in the Mandarin Blueprint Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxJwckcRu8k&t=4493s
Jason Pon
因为广告里说的和它们卖的东西不一样
Since this is talking about 'what they're saying in the advertisements aren't the same...', is there an implicit 话 after 说的?
Mandarin Blueprint
Indeed! Theoretically, it could be something else, e.g., 广告里说的（细节 xìjié - "details"), but since it isn't specified, an implicit "话" is the most general assumption you could make. Well reasoned!
