Let’s be honest, fast food rarely ever looks as good as it does in the commercials. When you’re a big-time fast-food chain, you’ve got plenty of lighting and editing tricks at your disposal, it’s easy to make your food look incredible.

Of course, when you’re the consumer, you don’t always go for looks, you go for taste. However, Anthony Russo, a South Florida lawyer, didn’t like the lack of resemblance between the real food and the commercial food, so he’s decided to sue Burger King.

As NBC News reports, Russo has filed for a federal lawsuit seeking class-action status, after alleging that the fast-food giant has duped consumers by “portraying its food as being much larger compared with what it has served to customers in real life.”

The list of plaintiffs includes Walter Coleman, Marco DiLeonardo, Matthew Fox, and Madelyn Salzman – who are going ahead with the lawsuit against Burger King in support of anybody who has “purchased a Burger King menu item based on false and misleading advertising concerning the size and/or the amount of ingredients contained in said menu item.”

The complaint states that current advertisements show a Whopper as being 35 percent bigger than those advertised in 2017 ads. However, it also states that “the recipe or the amount of beef or ingredients contained in Burger King’s Whopper has never changed.”

As a result, the lawsuit is seeking monetary damages as well as a court order that requires the fast-food corporation to accurately depict their menu items in all future advertising. In addition, a multitude of Twitter users took to online in order to complain about their own experiences with Burger King orders, as well as several online food bloggers who review fast food.

As Russo explained in an interview with NBC, “Big or small, justice is justice, and laws are laws and just because something happens to appear in someone’s opinion to be minor doesn’t mean that it is.”

Russo then added, “If I’m advertising a vehicle, you don’t Photoshop it to enhance it. Sure, maybe you shoot it in its best light, but certainly you don’t make it misleading. That’s really the basis for these kinds of lawsuits.”
