They claim that the Whopper, the iconic hamburger that is considered the flagship of the chain, is 35 percent larger in advertisements than in reality. Advertisements consistently portray the burger with meat and dressing “hanging over the bun on all sides.” In reality, that would not be the case, according to the indictment.
Moved on
The group filed the complaint a year ago. Now a district judge has moved the case to a higher court for a jury to rule.
Burger King informs the British broadcaster BBC that the complainers have no point. According to the company, it is not mandatory to serve burgers that look “exactly the same” as in the photos. The district judge thinks that a jury should now decide ‘how reasonable people think about this’.
Other major American fast food chains are also currently embroiled in lawsuits over snacks that are too small. McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Taco Bell are currently defending themselves against similar accusations.
