Fast Food Giants Triumph in False Advertising Lawsuit

McDonald's and Wendy's have won a lawsuit accusing them of false advertising, as a federal judge dismissed the case. The lawsuit claimed that the fast food chains sold smaller hamburgers than advertised and that the food didn't look as appetizing in person as pictured on their websites. The judge ruled that the use of visually appealing images in advertising is common practice and that disclaimers on the chains' websites provided objective information. Other major fast food chains have also faced similar lawsuits alleging misrepresentation in their marketing.
