    Burger King must face a lawsuit claiming it misleads customers with advertisements that make its Whopper sandwich and other products appear larger than they are. In a decision on Monday, U.S. District Judge Roy Altman in Miami found it plausible that "some" reasonable consumers in the proposed class action could be deceived by Burger King's ads. Nineteen customers from 13 states accused Burger King of materially overstating the size of nearly all menu items in its in-store and online ads. They cited its alleged portrayal of burgers that "overflow" the buns, with the Whopper appearing 35% larger than the actual...

    America should not run on fast food. A recent ranking from Eat This, Not That shared the least healthy menu items — ranked from bad to worst — from some of your favorite fast food chains that you should steer clear of. Some honorable mentions include the fried rice side from Panda Express and the bacon, sausage egg wrap from Starbucks. KFC’s Nashville hot loaded fries bowl, the cobb salad from Chick-fil-A, and the beast sub from Subway also made an appearance on this unhealthy list. The sausage patty breakfast crunchwrap from Taco Bell is another bad option. Avoid the...

    A Colorado man held a gun up to a Burger King drive-thru worker when they wouldn’t accept a baggie of drugs as payment — and was ordered to serve more than 143 years behind bars, officials said. Eugene Robertson, 40, was sentenced Thursday for the drive-thru incident, which spurred a series of crimes Robertson carried out in the Denver suburb of Aurora on Oct. 17, 2022. After pulling the gun on the fast food worker, who told police he was scared he was going to be killed after turning down the baggie of drugs, Robertson walked into a 7-Eleven across...

    Mayor Adams broke bread with a crew of loiterers and alleged drug dealers who have been using a Burger King blocks from City Hall as their headquarters, a witness to the unusual Whopper summit told The Post. Hizzoner even apparently offered them jobs — and was offered ganja himself, the witness said. The day after The Post exposed the rowdy miscreants who prompted a fed-up resident to file a $15 million lawsuit against the fast food joint, Adams rolled up to 106 Fulton St. in a black suburban last Sunday at about 2 p.m. He walked inside the Burger King,...

    A Burger King blocks from City Hall is so overrun with drug dealers, junkies and unhinged vagrants that an angry neighbor is suing the fast-food operator for $15 million for helping to turn “Fulton Street into an open air drug bazaar.” A group of eight to 10 “professional drug dealers” are allegedly having it their way at the BK at 106 Fulton St., near Dutch Street, which they use as a “base of operation, selling illegal drugs either at the entrance . . . or during inclement weather, selling illegal drugs within the Burger King restaurant itself,” according to the...

    A Burger King franchisee in Florida, was ordered to pay nearly $8 million to a customer who allegedly slipped and fell at the restaurant and needed surgery for his injuries.

The fall caused “serious injuries” which required surgery, and Tulecki suffered a postoperative perforated colon, according to his attorneys. The lawsuit, filed in January 2021, accused Burger King of negligence for “failing to ensure that the area and...
