Most American lawsuit in the world lol

I've eaten the whopper like thrice ever and it is a massive burger

And where did you get that Whopper? Because out here in Kentucky meth country, they are sad excuses for sandwiches.

Are we accustomed to larger portions? Sure. That’s not the point. The point is that the ad doesn’t match what you purchase.

Really? Whoppers were really small, the times I tried it.

In Asia, a whopper is small as compared with the US

How does it compare to what BK calls the Whopper Jr in at least the US and EU?

[–] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

That I'm not sure of.

Don't other countries have truth in advertising laws?

What I mean is "boo hoo my burger is not big enough"

It's an American lawsuit anyway
