Welcome to Food News, aren't you? Yeah, let me let's put 30 minutes on the clock minutes. Jacobi mm-hmm lots of stories that I have many takes on today and we are beginning. Let's get them all with Burger King, Burger King, along with McDonald's and Wendy's, but in separate lawsuits they're all being sued because the class that is suing them claims,

1:00.0

that the actual Whopper is smaller than the Whopper that is depicted in all the marketing and promotional materials, and so people are seeking are seeking financial recompense for this.

1:15.4

So the first name would to mind was this, can you sue the guy on hinge for not being six one he's actually five eleven.

1:21.8

I don't know if everyone would be having. Yeah, I guess what the stuff in the commercial doesn't look like the stuff when you store it we all know that like we're working under that assumption right of course it doesn't look the same it's like every time you buy a cookbook are you able to recreate what you see on the car question can't tell you how many times I've looked at the recipe online this is awesome oven baked fried chicken looks crispy and amazing and then it comes out like a dish rag soaked in dish soap that sounds gross yeah so my first thought.

2:21.7

I'm McDonald's patty on like on the shelf for two years and nothing changed just like yeah we're aware yeah it's one thing if you find like a rat foot in your

2:32.1

wopper like I get that so away so away but if you're like this doesn't look as good as the picture on the wall like what were you expecting so the

2:40.5

official food news stance is lawsuits that involve health and food safety okay yeah lawsuits that are related to
