Burger King Was Sued Over The Whopper Sandwich

Burger King

The Whopper is referred to as the most superior burger of all on the Burger King website. A US attorney has decided that Burger King should defend against a lawsuit alleging that the business misled clients by making the Whopper burger look bigger on the catalog than it was in real.

According to the class complaint, the fast food restaurant company advertises its burgers with toppings that “overflow over the bun” and a meatier patty. Additionally, it claims that the Whopper had been fabricated to appear 35% larger and to contain twice as much meat as what was given to consumers. The claims have been refuted by Burger King. 

Burgers that look exactly as shown in pictures are not needed, according to the company’s prior defense. Judge R. Altman of the US District Court stated that the jury should be allowed to speak about the opinions of reasonable people. But he denied charges that Burger King’s television and web ads deceived consumers.

Like Burger King, Other Fast Food Chains Being Sued For False Representation

After the decision, a Burger King representative issued a statement saying, “The beef patties flame-grilled, as depicted in the billions of Whopper sandwiches we offer to visitors countrywide are made with the identical patties that are utilized in our advertising.” The Whopper is referred to as the most superior burger of all on the Burger King site and has a “real meaty” patty made of beef in addition to additional fixings.

In the US, a similar case has been filed against fast food franchises Wendy’s and McDonald’s, accusing them of dishonest and unfair business practices. According to the lawsuit, the burgers at McDonald’s and Wendy’s were at a minimum of 15% bigger than they were in marketing materials. In the meantime, Taco Bell had also been sued in the USA earlier this year for allegedly selling wraps and pizzas that only had half the content that was claimed.
