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.
That example doesn’t really translate. The butcher doesn’t cook the meat for you, you take home one pound. If you’re selling cooked meat products, you should have to provide an estimate for the weight of the finished product. One pound of frozen meat is going to weigh a lot less than one pound of thawed meat after it’s cooked
But there’s no way to do that. Should they weigh every patty to be 0.255 lb??
There’s no way to do that? McDonald’s cooks the same burger probably millions of times a day, the patties are cooked for a set amount of time at a certain temperature,they have the process down to a science, and you say there’s no way to do that?
They’re not incentivised to do that maybe. But not “there’s no way to do that.” You can certainly calculate to a small margin how much weight the patty should lose after cooked.
