Wendy’s and McDonald’s have emerged victorious from a lawsuit that accused the fast food chains of false advertising.
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought against the two companies accusing them of selling smaller hamburgers than advertised and alleging the food didn’t look as appetizing in person as pictured on their websites.
Yeah, that might be a good case. Isn’t the weight advertised when it’s frozen/before it’s cooked? How can they call it a quarter pounder if half of it’s weight is reduced before it’s served to you?
Because that’s how food works. You buy a 1lb steak at the butcher and you see him put it on the scale. You don’t weight it when it comes off the grill. You might have added butter to it, and lost some weight to dripping and evaporation. It’s sort of disengenuous, if you have ever cooked, to not understand that they don’t weight cooked patties and throw out the ones that lost too much weight or whatever.
