A New York lard-arse is raising a class-action lawsuit against MacDonald's and Wendy's, alleging that their burgers are lacking in lard-arseness. Specifically, that the companies' marketing suggests that their burgers are 15% larger than they really are.
Fifteen percent seems more precise than I imagine most people could determine on sight. But, then again, lawyers. (vultures)
Rival Burger King was hit with a similar lawsuit in Florida in March, by the same law firms representing New Yorker Justin Chimienti. While Burger King has yet to respond in court, an amended complaint shows that more unhappy customers have signed onto the suit.
Unhappy, or expectant of a nice windfall? (thinking)
The companies' adverts are "unfair and financially damaging consumers as they are receiving food that is much lower in value than what is being promised", the complaints say.
Au contraire, mes petits râleurs! The companies are simply concerned about the detriment to health of eating too much junk food, and are only trying to do good by their customers' well-being. It's because they care.
