A Major Bombshell About Burger King’s Whoppers Was Just Filed In Court—OMG!

Have you ever been pulled in by a fast food advertisement and decided to purchase a meal only to be ultimately disappointed when your food looked nothing like the photos? If this rings a bell, you can probably relate to Walter Coleman, one of the plaintiffs currently leading a class-action lawsuit against Burger King.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Coleman and his fellow plaintiffs are fed up with misleading advertisements and food that doesn’t live up to their expectations, specifically when it comes to size. In fact, they claim that Burger King advertisements misrepresent the actual size of the fast food restaurant’s menu items by 35%—that is quite the difference! The plaintiffs are asking for their money back and also demand that Burger King stops deceiving consumers with inaccurate images.
Allegedly, the burgers shown in Burger King’s advertisements have larger patties, more toppings, and more than double the meat. No wonder we’re always surprised by the actual size! It’s also no wonder people are upset and feel they’re not getting their money’s worth. The lawsuit claims that “Burger King’s advertisements for its burgers and menu items are unfair and financially damaging consumers as they are receiving food that is much lower in value than what was promised.”
