To be honest, more than once you’ve gone to a fast-food<\/a> place and been swayed by the promotional photos<\/strong>, even though you know they won’t look that perfect, they’ll be a mishmash of things, and certainly not nearly as appetizing. It’s happened to everyone. The moment of truth comes when you realize that the Maxi Burger XXL Deluxe BBQ is just a regular-sized burger. But of course, it’s like an unspoken game you have with the company and its marketing. Or is it?<\/p>\n\n\n

In the United States (where else), there has already been a lawsuit against Burger King<\/a> for inflating the size of its products in advertisements. Well, not all of its products, just one in particular: the Whopper, which, according to the lawsuit, is 35% larger in advertising than in the actual burger<\/strong>. And how do they achieve this? By adding ingredients to make it seem more packed and by doubling the size of the meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burger King<\/a> has responded by saying that it’s well-known that advertising isn’t the same as real life and that it doesn’t have to be “just like the picture.” <\/strong>However, for now, the judge has allowed the lawsuit to proceed on the basis that no company should deceive its customers with advertisements. Ha. Good luck with that. As a defense, the fast-food chain has claimed that the meat used in advertisements is the same as the meat used in any burger, something that, if you’ve ever had a Whopper, you already know is far from the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t the first time Burger King has found itself in a strange legal situation. In the past, The Burger King, an existing restaurant in Mattoon, Illinois<\/strong>, requested that no Burger King franchise restaurant be located near them. And indeed, there isn’t one within a 32-kilometer radius. Interestingly, the restaurant has a very high rating on Google Maps<\/a> (4.6 stars), so the decision seems to have been more than justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the issue of sharing the name in Australia<\/a> led to their restaurants in the country being called Hungry Jack’s<\/strong>. These legal oddities are part of the history of one of the largest fast-food mega-corporations, and it remains to be seen if they can get away with it this time. We’ll have to wait and see (and eat).<\/p>\n\n\n
