A U.S. District Judge in Miami rejected Burger King's motion to shrug off a sizzling lawsuit. The bone of contention? The menu board visuals might give the Whopper sandwich a bit more "whop" than reality.
🍖 Meaty Details:
- Accusation: The fast-food titan is said to portray a Whopper that's a whopping 35% larger and double the meat serving.
- Burger King's Defense: "Our advertisements are accurate!" But Judge Altman thinks the jury should have the final bite.
Burger King isn't dining solo on this controversial table. McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell are all simmering in similar lawsuits, each dishing out claims for a juicy $5M in damages.
