Burger King faces lawsuit over the size of its Whopper
A Miami judge has accepted a lawsuit against Burger King, alleging that the Whopper appears up to 35% larger in advertisements than in reality. The class-action suit claims the ads show overflowing ingredients, constituting 'unjust enrichment.' The judge excluded evidence from TV and internet ads, as they don't promise specific sizes. Burger King argues their Whoppers use the same ingredients as in ads. Similar lawsuits have been filed against Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Wendy's for misleading advertising. McDonald's has responded by improving menu quality, including a new 'McCrispy' chicken sandwich.

The Battle of the “Taco Tuesday” Trademark
Taco Bell is challenging Taco John's trademark on 'Taco Tuesday,' arguing that the term has become generic. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and recent legal precedents suggest that Taco Bell's case may be strong. The article discusses the criteria for trademark cancellation due to genericness and cites examples of other trademarks that have become generic, such as 'Aspirin' and 'Monopoly.' The outcome of this case could impact how trademarks are protected and maintained in the future.

In 1994, Charlotte police searched for a murderer. They caught a serial killer instead
Henry Louis Wallace was arrested in 1994 for a series of murders in Charlotte, North Carolina, after a two-year period where he raped and strangled ten women. Initially sought for shoplifting, Wallace's connection to the victims and evidence such as a palm print led to his capture. During interrogation, he confessed to the murders, including an 11th in South Carolina. The trial in 1996 resulted in Wallace's conviction and death sentence for nine murders. Despite the defense's argument of mental illness and childhood trauma, the prosecution's evidence was overwhelming. Wallace remains on Death Row.

Turner's 'The Match' sets revenue mark, but may not match 2020 record audience
Turner Sports' 'The Match' has set a revenue record for the event, though it may not reach the viewership levels of the 2020 edition. The event, taking place on July 6 at Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana, features Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady against Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers. Sponsored by Capital One, it includes a full roster of ad partners such as Warner Bros. and HBO Max. The 2020 event had a record 5.8 million viewers on cable, but this year's edition faces challenges in matching that due to the timing and the pandemic's impact on live sports programming. All sponsorship and commercial inventory for the event have been sold out.
