On March 28, 2022, a lawsuit was filed against Burger King, alleging the fast food chain falsely advertised the Whopper to "look about 35% bigger in its advertising than it is in reality".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Burger King sued by customers who claim Whopper is smaller than advertised |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/burger-king-sued-whopper-false-advertising/ |access-date=April 5, 2022 |website=CBS News |date=April 5, 2022 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Burger King accused of false advertising in lawsuit alleging Whoppers are too small |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/burger-king-false-advertising-lawsuit-whopper-burgers-rcna22916 |access-date=April 5, 2022 |website=NBC News |date=April 4, 2022 |language=en}}</ref> On May 5, 2025, Federal Judge Roy Altman allowed the case to proceed, stating the claims may reasonably suggest consumers were misled and that Florida law permits such misrepresentation suits without a special relationship. Burger King argued that differences between ads and actual burgers are typical of handmade food and standard marketing practices.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-07 |title=Judge allows lawsuit over Burger King's Whopper ads to move forward |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/judge-allows-lawsuit-burger-kings-whopper-ads-move-forward-rcna205304 |access-date=2025-05-09 |website=NBC News |language=en}}</ref>
