Burger King advert 'misled on size'


The banned burger advert The advert will not be shown again in its current form
A Burger King advertising campaign has been banned after complaints the chicken burger shown was bigger than the real thing, a watchdog has said.
Two viewers said the TV advert for the Tendercrisp burger was misleading.
The Advertising Standards Authority said it bought three burgers and found their thickness and the overall height was "considerably less" than in the ad.
Burger King said it needed to show clearly all of a product's ingredients in its advertising.
The television advert for the Tendercrisp chicken burger featured a man eating a large burger in a motel room before an angry-looking cow was shown standing in the doorway, with a voiceover saying: "So good, you'll cheat on beef."
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said: "We also examined the size of the burgers in the hands of an average-sized man and considered that they did not fill the hands to the same extent as the burger featured in the advert.
"We concluded that the visuals in the advert were likely to mislead viewers as to the size and composition of the product."
It ruled the advert should not appear again in its current form.

  2. I think what you poѕted was actuаlly very reаѕonаblе.

    But, ωhat аbоut this? whаt if you typed a catchier title?
    I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "Burger King advert 'misled on sizе'" is kinda vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's hοme page and watсh how they сreate post tіtleѕ to grab peорlе to open the lіnks.
    You might add a video or а relateԁ picture or two to grаb people eхсitеd about whаt
    you've got to say. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.
