re: Judge rules Burger King can be sued for exaggerating the size of its Whoppers

Can I sue Taco Bell for the violent explosive diarrhea it gave me in the past?

Got taco belly?

Anybody who is truly “upset” about this is a boot licker or is probably on the board of directors for Burger King

Litigious society. No wonder our courts get tied up with garbage suits.

Ah, yes. Garbage lawsuits. What if I sent you a picture of 100 lbs. of fertilizer and offered to sell it to you. Then you come to pick up the fertilizer from the picture and I give you only 65 lbs.

Big difference between that and, say, suing McDonalds because you spilled their hot coffee in your lap.

Suing a corporation isn’t an inherent right. It’s a choice. If it’s not worth the money, don’t sue.

I was responding to your reply:

They should be sued, they are advertising falsely.

---

You say they should be sued but no damages paid. While you think they should be sued you set up a hypothetical where offending companies would almost never be sued.

While the right to sue is arguably not inherent it is a constitutional right protected by the 1A though a lot of people never read past the word assemble, but I am sure you have.

Oh crap!

They should just have to fix their ads.

Also, their product.

When these companies started out they served a delicious product but then the corporations bumped out originator policies to enhance their bonuses with cheaper ingredients, less product, and higher prices.

Judge should sentence the top corporate staff to nothing but a year of the products they serve to us.

An injunction, which if violated would result in civil penalties against the company until they comply?

---

You are talking about a permanent mandatory injunction which without overhauling the system is usually only granted when monetary damages provide inadequate compensation to the plaintiff(s).

Again without overhaul the monetary penalties are usually so small for ignoring a civil injunction that a large company would not notice it. The cost of changing their ads would be higher. They could just run the current ads until they naturally ran their cycle and make new ones which would start the process over again and another suit would have to be filed.

I remember the days where if you bought $11 of food at Taco Bell, you would need 2 trays.

You must not be that old.

I remember the early days and they were 19 cents or 29 cents and loaded with meat


Good time to be alive.

Couple of cases of Pearl and couple of boxes of Taco Bell in the trunk and you were ready for a decent road trip
