The suit claims that the images of the sandwich on the store's menus are misleading and amount to a breach of contract.
AFlorida judge this week rejected a bid from Burger King to dismiss a class action lawsuit against the fast food chain that has alleged the franchise repeatedly exaggerated the size and beef content of its signature Whoppers.
The suit claims that the images of the sandwich on the store's menus are misleading and amount to a breach of contract. It also claims that deceptive advertising, which allegedly began in 2017, has made the Whoppers appear "approximately 35% larger in size, and contain more than double the meat, than the actual burger," according to Fox Business.
U.S. District Judge Roy Altman on Tuesday rejected Burger King's bid for dismissal, allowing the suit to advance. At least 100 plaintiffs have joined the suit.
Attorney James C. Kelly, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs, told Fox Business that the group is seeking changes to the menu photos and "fairness across the industry on the issue."
i like fast food every now and then and eat it handily.
but you do you.
We have a local Taco restaurant that will beat the Corporate Taco to hell and back...................
There are people whose profession is to make food look good for commercials. One trick was to push all the contents of the sandwich to the front so they are just bulging out of the bread. I’ve heard it called the push-up bra method.
How about the term “flame broiled”? I pretty sure they aren’t anymore.
True, the fish patty has shrunk over the years, but even 50+ years ago when I worked at a McDonald’s, a Filet-o-Fish got a half slice of cheese.
Another big payday for a group of attorneys who most likely didn’t take
an accurate looking photo of their slice of the award.
Well, congratulations! I bet your Mama is so proud!(/sarc) I hope you continue to avoid mercury poisoning, high blood pressure, gout and kidney stones. (/not sarc)
Sardines also have some of the highest Omega-3 content of all fish. They are extremely healthy.
Instead of shouting all the time, you might want to listen with an open mind. You might learn a few things here.
This is more about destroying the restaurant industry and limiting people’s food choices.
No kidding. The most egregious profiteering sleazeball enterprising bunch of sleazeballs on earth calling out pitiful so-called infractions by others. I'm going to go read some lawyer jokes to calm down.
Truth in Advertising, if it ever did exist, shore don’t no more. And, yes, I know I don’t speak no good english.
You win.
L
I agree with that.
Try taking a look at the photos of your own home sometime.
I’ve noticed that photos are quite often very forgiving
when it comes to how homes looks. Is that also some sort
of a grand conspiracy?
I’ve never had the thought that I was getting cheated when
I visited a Burger King. I knew what I was going to get,
and I got it.
In-N-Out burgers——
Nuff said.
No gots one near here..............
With cheese and bacon, 2 patties, heavy everything.
I remember the olden days driving down to Fort Knox in the 70’s to see our husbands. We stopped at a Booger King right outside the gates and picked the guys up flame broiled Whoppers.
They were genuinely big back then. Nobody could have sued them.
I heard that Taco Bell is also being sued over their Mexican pizza. Seems the picture on TV shows far more yummies on it than the flat corn shell smeared with some refried beans the customer got.
The picture I saw looked like one of Big Mikes school lunches.
Great movie. lol
My husband used to take sardines and nuts to work. He could clear the eating area in seconds after opening the can. People even made complaints against him!
