#BurgerKing #Whopper #Burger
Hasn’t every fast food restaurant done this in their ads for decades?
Every fast-food chain has reduced the size of their food items. Most noticably the burgers. It’s not just BK.
There just going to make the bun smaller to match the pictures
Burger King is notoriously known to give you half of what you actually paid for.
If Burger King is getting sued for false advertisement, that means YouTubers should get sued for putting misleading titles and clickbait thumbnail videos.
I practically survived off of the 2 for 5 deal until COVID hit then it was 2 for 6 and they got smaller now I don’t even bother it’s the same with the breakfast sandwiches
This is A STUPID LAWSUIT. Do you realize what will happen if this guy wins? EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES WOULD SUE EVERY RESTAURANT AND ESTABLISHMENT THAT SELLS FOOD. Do you want America to go hungry? I hope this lawsuit FAILS and gets thrown out.
You can’t expect the size of the burger to grow at the same time as the price.
We could easily sue every single fast food restaurant. They literally make videos of how they make there menu items look and most are fake
This is the most egregious case of false advertising since Subway’s 11 inch foot long! I bet that Lionel Hutz is the plaintiffs attorney.
And always cold too.
Whopper was much bigger and cheaper. That was the uniqueness
They’ll just change the ads instead of making the burger bigger
In todays frivolous stupid lawsuit news…a bk whopper is bigger than most fast food burgers lol 😂
The trend by the fast food restaurants should be to simply tell the truth about how much beef is in your patty. There is no reason to lie to consumers. Also this attorney, Seth Berenzweig, should not compare a low cost, one time transaction of buying a burger with that of buying a car. There is no similarity at all with these purchases.
I don’t expect the toppings to be flowing over the bun, but I have gotten plenty of whoppers that were looked at from the side. You can’t even see between the buns because of how skimpy the toppings and meat have become.
Who is getting this 5 million dollars?! Is that’s the case, we all need 5 million dollars too because we all eat whoppers! So dumb!
Americans need to cut down on fast food intake. Freaking fatties.
Just a ploy to push bk all the way out. They already went bankrupt.
Fyi it is illegal in Japan to serve different looking food rather than what it is showed in the packaging.
And looks are deceiving. Unless they can prove the poster child whopper is in fact bigger by means of measurement – not enlarged for texture or doing the film tricks in the food industry for all we know the back of this burger could be flat to make the front look big. – we will see what happens. If they are penalized then it shows how one by one food chains will be getting the boot
Every commercial for food is fraudulent
Worked burger King yrs which is some is diff what is now.not what use to be as mc donalds whataburger papa John’s long silver etc etc etc etc chuchs Popeyes hamburger hut lucky Cafe etc etc .some stuff has changed o cooking which some ppl eat out once in time
Meanwhile in America…
King Berger very cheap fast food chain restaurant and with
No healthy food….
The size has changed so many times of the decades. They use to be called home of the big bun. You couldn’t wrap your hands around the sandwich. In addition it was a saucy burger. It is so dry now with overwhelming taste of liquid smoke. It is almost uneatable…
No one is going to want to own a restaurant. You can get sued from anyone
How about Subway Surfer unlimited on Subway subs when you get it it looks like a vegetarian meal
can I sue god for making my pp too small
really? are you kidden me right now!!! the whopper to small?. you do know some ppl even me can bearly even finish a whopper. when i eat a whole whopper im full for a while. i think its fat ppl doing the lawsuit. a whopper will fill up a person whos under wight and normal wight.
McDonalds has an issue of giving a single patty when ordering a double, think it’s part of the training.
Consumers for the most part expect the actual product to look messier than the commercial product but this case has legs because the meat displayed actually looks much larger than the actual product.
i need a cigarette.
I only stick with mom-and-pop places, except for In and Out Burger.
That’s what they get for playing that annoying add
Big mac did the same
Lawyer didn’t want to make ‘em look bad by explaining the legal definition of false advertising. This case is essentially one big expensive joke that the plaintiff will certainly lose yet again.
Burger king is absolute crap anymore. Slow, terrible food. I guess if it’s disgusting small is better.
There not even flame broiled anymore, they microwave the meat. Remember you used to smell those burger smells coming out from BK blocks away..WELL NOT ANYMORE.
Most burgers now are a quarter pound instead of 3rd pound like it used to be.
Who is going to win the 5 mil?
Burger scene from Falling Down???
I always tell the ladies mine isn’t too small, it’s just “fun size.”
What about the Big Mac it turned into a little Mac thanks to the democrats
I’m hungry now 😋😋😋😋
The world KNOWS
DEMOS ARE PEDOS
Jr. Whopper meal 10.99
The Burger’s are better at Hungry Jacks.
I just had a Whopper yesterday for the first time in years, and my first time thought was that it was mostly bun.
It used to be as huge as the bacon king. But now, it’d almost as small as the whopper Jr. It’s ridiculous!! Even my girlfriend who’s petite noticed it. She’s the type that doesn’t lie.
Almost every food company has done this. This suit should be laughed out of court and the plaintiff slapped with a frivolous lawsuit charge. Tort reform now!
I cannot eat any other burger but Burger King their something about the taste that really delicious . I stop eating there because the price has risen to 10 dollars a meal and it doesn’t fill me up anymore so definitely I’m getting less for my money.
I have a feeling if this lawsuit wins, Burger King will be bankrupt and there will be no more whoppers at all 🫤
What a waste of time😂
In 1974 they were much bigger. Maybe you weren’t born yet…..
Terrible comparison!!! commercials of car ziping down alps or vacuum cleaners picking up bowling balls is to show how good the proformance of the item can be… Food is only about size, weight, and nutrition. Thus should be advertised accurately!
I discovered this last time I visited Burger King…the meal cost me $11.30
That was over a year ago..I quit eating at all fastfood restaurants altogether.
Someone needs to sue voodoo donuts then. Why? Their voodoo donut looks nothing like the one in their display case. Dont believe, go buy one and see for yourself. I will never buy from there again. Lol. But seriously, I wont.
B4 911 da whoppers use 2 b $1.00. WHOPPER JRS .79.
Not the impossible whopper
As a Teenager I consumed plenty of Whoppers(wouldn’t eat them now) but they look much smaller than back in the day!
🤣
i remember as a kid, whoppers being ALOT bigger
Cause this is where our Countries problems are at…..😔
next,,, will be Boat Commercials trying to sale there Boats using clips from movie WaterWorld & Kevin Coster
Just to Put Car company’s out of business lol
Many companies are giving less, when I buy extra large eggs, there are really small eggs, so companies think people are stupid. They give you fewer products and charge you the same price. Most companies false advertise that’s nothing new.
Big Macs are smaller too
It’s insane how much a whopper costs.
Yup! Back in 1983, Burger King whoppers were huge and hot right out of the wrapper. But that was in good ole’ America.
My whopper is too small, apparently its down to genetics.😢
working theres like going for a swim in the cold you get the shrink as soon as you walk into the doors with the ads on them.
If you see the foods and quality of foods in foreign countries and what it costs for eating fresh delicious food overseas, then come back to the United States. You realize the crap food that consumers are given, then its been processed and cooked then sat on a warehouse for 10 years before we eat it
Have you seen the Fish Fillet at McDonald’s! You can hold it with 2 fingers and your thumb 👎
SOLUTION: Just buy 2 or 3 of them.
🤣🤣🤣
*Sarcasm*
Get a triple whopper that hasn’t shrunk 😂
I generally never noticd before either it’s supposed to be double the meat which makes it big right ? N sides by the name shouldn’t it be called that if it were a fish sandwich ? 🎣🥪 ❔❓⁉️
My wife said size doesn’t matter
That Way America Is Overweight
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS FALSE ADVERTISING GO SUE THEM.
I been saying that with the Big Mac and the quarter pounder too
I agree that they have gotten noticeably smaller.
I would have just rather had a even higher price but a retention on the product quality. It feels terrible to be fooled around with. I can’t believe they thought we wouldn’t notice this act of deception.
They deserve this. They be ripping people they feed you burgers for kids for 11 13 dollars
They should sue McDonalds too with their Big Mac. It’s not even Big lol
He was trying his best not to laugh at his corny beef jokes🤣🤣
That’s why you got to order a double Whopper with double cheese 🧀
They will simply start making the buns smaller.
A class action lawsuit filed against burger size is American culture
It’s fast food, this is dumb.
I remember back in the late 2000s here in my town we had Whopper Weds were you could get a Whopper for $1.09! That ships sailed.
I should go sue McDonald’s because the Big Mac. Looks like a mini Mac really all it is now is a Mac double with sauce and extra bun
Its big. I think the person handling it got too fat, covid shunk the brain and theres a mouse living outside my cheese factory!?😂
SUE ALL RETAILERS. FAKE INFLATION.
90s whoppers were huge and 99cents each
People need to sue McDonald’s to fix their ice cream machine
Their service has shrunk
You think Burger King is being decepitive just to make a few couple dollars on a burger… Ok 😂😂
Good! Make an example out of them!
