I don't understand wanting to be on the side of the company in this case. I hope the people bringing the suit win versus the corporation in this case or most cases.

There is nothing wrong with the Whopper.

Other than all the preservatives. Oh the hormones in the beef. The scrunched bun is like fake bread. Oh all the fat too.

How much is a Whopper these days? The only time that I go to Burger King is when I get coupons in the mail. Of course, the price will vary depending on where you live.

God bless you always!!!

I eat them every week and am in good health.

Why not just cook at home and eat real food?

I think it's hard to prove a false advertising case. And even though I personally also think actual burgers don't look as good as the advertised burgers, nevertheless this isn't proof of anything. Maybe they simply picked the best picture to use in their commercials. This can be argued as "false advertisement" or "misleading", but then it falls upon the accuser to prove it. The burger joint doesn't need to prove anything.

Most likely, I think it's just some schmuck hoping to get rich quick.

They didn't pick the best picture, they created the picture they wanted. Those are not actual edible ingredients in that picture.

Food always looks better in the ads on TV than it does in person.

Talk about 1st world problems...Burger King is being sued for allegedly using 'bait and switch' tactics with Whopper advertising.

Burger King to defend Whopper ads in federal court after customers sue for fraud

Burger King will have to defend ads for its Whopper sandwiches after a judge denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by customers alleging fraud.

www.usatoday.com

The Whopper has been around since 1957, and now, nearly seven decades later, Burger King will have to defend arguably its most popular sandwich in federal court.

U.S. District Judge Roy K. Altman in Florida, on May 5, denied Burger King's motion to dismiss a 2022 lawsuit alleging the fast food chain misled customers by falsely advertising the Whopper and other menu items in commercials and various in-store and online promotional material.

The 19 people suing Burger King argue that the fast food chain “advertises its burgers as large burgers compared to competitors" by showing them "containing oversized meat patties and ingredients that overflow over the bun to make it appear that the burgers are approximately 35% larger in size, and contain more than double the meat, than the actual burger," according to the lawsuit obtained by USA TODAY.

Frvilous lawsuits.

They didn't pick the best picture, they created the picture they wanted. Those are not actual edible ingredients in that picture.

And Gi-Joes and Transformers don't actually move all by themselves....

shocking, I know.


Also, I don't think mentos make you make that dumb face from the commercials either.
