McDonald's and Wendy's Win Lawsuits

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.

The plantiff’s complaint in the 2022 lawsuit accused Wendy’s and
McDonald’s of using undercooked patties in ads because “fully cooked
burgers tend to shrink and look less appetizing” and that the
companies’ ads harm customers because “they are receiving food that is
much lower in value than what is being promised.”

US District Judge Hector Gonzalez ruled that Wendy’s and McDonald’s
food images “are no different than other companies’ use of visually
appealing images to foster positive associations with their products.”

If the burgers were smaller than advertised, a legitimate
complaint exists. But this isn't too likely to have occurred.
No one with an once of sense would think what is shown in any
advertising is what the consumer will get at the store.

The weight stated in ads is the PRE-COOK weight.

Huh?

Yep.
I can't actually KNOW, of course, but I think someone was hoping
for a quick settlement.

Wait, so it's not illegal, becouse everybody does it?

Why can't they just make th emeast the same amount that in the picture?

I don't care if it's a good picture, or if the burger looks like it taste's
good or not, but at least the amount of meat should be the same that sold.

It's not illegal because there are no laws against fostering
positive associations.

You'll find they are the same amount.

The amounts are the same. When pictures are used in advertising,
much more time is used to prep the food. And the burger patties will
be placed in such a way as to make them appear bigger. Typically
they're placed so that more of the meat is shown beyond the buns. But
they will still be the same quarter pound patties as used in the
stores.
