IMO the title on the article stinks, it's not the only the "size" and it's not only whoppers, it's every product that looks nothing like advertised pictures. Whopper burger is not as large, trimmings not similar in color or amount. There was a similar lawsuit years ago in another country against Burger King where BK lost.
I want in on this class action lawsuit too lol
I don't eat fast food from Burger King or McDonalds that often because the products these days do not even resemble their original version that I grew up with. I never gave it a thought to why it doesn't taste the same except that I'm older, maybe my tastes changed but that is not the case.
Take French fries, they're fried in vegetable oil now. They used to be fried in a beef fat oil which gives the fries a better taste and appearance as they do not cook the same using vegetable oil.
Same with other products they sell, they took out ingredients that someone deemed "bad for us" in the late 80's or early 90's after someone died, their spouse or family sued fast food and won for clogging his arteries.
Even stuff we buy at the food store has been changed, cereal is not made the same way either.
I've been watching a show called Adam eats the 80's. Some restaurants are recreating foods no longer sold, when they can't, there is a kitchen he goes to that will prepare things like the fries.
Adam eats the 80's, the host is awesome, very into food. I've never seen anyone critique a white castle hamburger like he has. He has a series called the food that built America that is also very interesting on how fast food even started. I believe Dunkin Donuts was the first with a walk up window, then it was pizza hut or Dominoes that expanded on that. Dominoes started delivery service.
A South Florida lawyer has filed a federal lawsuit seeking class-action status alleging that Burger King has misled customers by portraying its food as being much larger compared with what it has served to customers in real life.
alleges Burger King began inflating the size of its burgers in images around September 2017. Before that, the suit claims, Burger King "more fairly" advertised its food products.
Today, the size of virtually every food item advertised by Burger King is "materially overstated,"
....single out advertisements for Burger King’s trademark Whopper, saying the entire burger is 35 percent larger than the real-life version, with double the meat than what is actually served.
I think the whole thing is stupid. Are people going to start suing the prepped meal delivery companies next because their commercials show two full plates, plus, an equivalent looking third left over in a pan, even though the menu says 2 servings?

Don’t show what you don’t sell then. I have a lawn and snow business, if I ran ads showing a lawn completely mowed and driveway completely plowed. Then I show up and cut 80% of lawn and plow half your driveway, then leave and charge you full price. This is the same thing, misleading/lying to customers. I’d be fired soon after doing this. I do realize that not using said products again is the same thing as firing them, it’s just the fact that they blatantly lie to everyone. Is suing the only way to get this to change?

Two different things but point made. Wondering if we can sue Truvia? They are very sneaky going from 3g to 2g per packet but they kept all the packaging the same.

They're doing what other companies have done, like mozzarella, no more 16oz packages. Everything shrunk but price went up.

Adam Richman has always been a great host on everything I've seen him in. He really loves learning about food, and more importantly, eating it and hoping the viewers can appreciate it like he can. And just like you should never trust a skinny chef, never trust a skinny TV food host...

What sucks is when I am baking most recipes may call for "1lb" of an ingredient, but it is sold in packages of "11oz" so I am forced to purchase two and the rest gets discarded if it can't be repurposed.
If America would swear off fast food for six months - all of us - there wouldn't be any fast food places to complain about.
And that would be a major cause of celebration.
