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.
Imagine seeing a car commercial, wanting the car, then going into a dealership and seeing the exact same car on the floor. You buy it and get some shitty blursed version and they are all “that’s our display only model”. That’s probably different somehow as long as you get the right judge.
Imagine a coffee shop ad with a beautiful example of latte art, but when you get your latte you are horrified to find just plain foam. Unless the ad specifically mentioned latte art, I doubt you’d have grounds for a lawsuit.
As for your example, I’m finding it hard to imagine buying a car before getting inside it. A few dealers offer a pre-order option, but you can always back out of the sale once you see the car.
There is a joke in there somewhere. ;)
I’m sure you just gotta let it brew for a while. Then the joke will pour right over.
