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 have also the Whopper size has been smaller in size.
Food marketing has always been somewhat of a scam. What’s in the Ad does not look like what’s delivered.
Noticed.
Yeah but every politician can lie.
When do MacDonalds and all the rest of the fast-food giants get nicked? In ads, the Big Mac looks like two sides of beef stuffed between three tiny slices of bread.
I haven’t had one for a long time but I used to love me a double whopper with cheese!
Advertising photos are staged and exaggerated? Who knew?
Right, and every man is going to look like a model when he buys a shirt and tie or woman the same if she buys this dress. Also every judge is going to be Solomonic when he puts on a robe.
Don’t run over your food before you try to eat it next time, it’s a drive though, not a drive over.
If it is that far off they should not allow it, it's false advertising. I saw a Fish sandwich at McDonald's the other day, it was the size of a pickle, total scam advertising.
Solution....cook your own damn burger....
what? You don't like meat-style slurry?
absurd...
I add extra ketchup when I buy the stuff
The one on the right looks like the cook squashed it with his spatula. Not that I’d eat either, unless I was working and had nothing else to eat and only a few minutes to grab something.
