A U.S. judge has rejected Burger King’s bid to dismiss a lawsuit claiming that it cheated hungry customers by making its Whopper sandwich appear larger than it actually is.

U.S. District Judge Roy Altman in Miami said Burger King must defend against a claim that its depiction of Whoppers on in-store menu boards mislead reasonable customers, amounting to a breach of contract.

Customers in the proposed class action accused Burger King of portraying burgers with ingredients that “overflow over the bun,” making it appear the burgers are 35% larger and contain more than double the meat than the chain serves.

    Of course. I assumed they were saying it was the burgers itself. As long as the patty was a 1/4 pound patty at some point or whatever they say they serve…it’s going to be hard to argue

    People were spray painting lettuce green at one point. And I’m pretty sure they still occasionally dye pistachios red for some reason
