I'm not overly surprised. I read the article and know the TV ad claims were dismissed, but the currently running TV ad campaign for BK makes their burgers look ridiculously huge - like larger than the entire box a Big Mac comes in.

Check out the whopper shown at the very start of this ad (screenshot) to see what I mean. When did you last have a burger that was half the width of your torso?

Umm the actual court order the article refers to is super generous to the plaintiffs lol. Whoever's representing them made such basic mistakes that I'm not even sure how they passed the bar exam:

The Plaintiffs' first cause of action lists--in a single paragraph that spans four pages--fifty
different state (and DC) consumer-protection statutes.

(This is a no-no in every federal court in every state.)

In either event, the Plaintiffs concede that they've failed to meet the requirements of Mississippi and Ohio law--even as they ask us not to dismiss those claims.

(Wtf? lol)

we agree with Burger King that a reasonable person wouldn't have interpreted Burger King's TV and online ads as binding offers.

(This is well-settled law and taught to most first-year law students.)

BK's menu is absolute shite.

Just get the tiny double cheeseburgers off the saver menu. Two if you want to feel like you've eaten something. It's a fraction of the price and they're not much smaller than a Whopper Double Angus XXL Megaburger or whatever they've named stuff this week.

The only other thing worth your time is the Bacon Double Cheese XL, and only if it's on special offer on the app.

They've done it. They've finally gotten fed up with whoppers being mostly bread.

I feel like this belongs in !nottheonion.

Yes. BK is probably sizing the bun-to-patty ratio to make them look and seem larger. They also probably make sure to paint their lettuce green so it looks fresher. Or would, if that weren't already banned by the FDA.

Yeah, but a small whopper means you eat less Burger King food. That sounds like a plus to me.

I want that Bis Ass whopper from the 90s back. It shrinked over time...

I feel like McDonald's Australia needs this. Everything including the fries is smaller then everywhere else.

They should just claim they meant to advertise "big Whoppers" as in "big lies." Now they were telling the truth. Case over.

Whoppish

Really wish they sell Whataburger everywhere in the States(especially after that Chicago venture capital bought the chain) , never had the problem of the burger being too small there.

Burger King (Hungry Jack's too) should also be ashamed for the sorry excuse of the imitation mayonnaise they use in the Whopper.
