New York CNN —Wednesday is National Cheeseburger Day, with some of the biggest chains offering some much-needed discounts amid consumer complaints about rising prices. It’s part of company’s string of deals to kickstart slumping sales, including recently extending its popular $5 value meal until December. Fast food has been a low-profit margin business with little customer loyalty. McDonald’s pricey burgers have become a flashpoint of criticism and a symbol of elevated fast food prices. So deals are particularly crucial to fast food companies at the moment to lure customers back.

A lawsuit said McDonald's and Wendy's overstated the size of their patties in adverts for nearly every product. A judge just dismissed the lawsuit, saying that the plaintiff didn't prove that the ads would likely mislead a reasonable customer. AdvertisementAdvertisementA judge dismissed a lawsuit that said McDonald's and Wendy's burgers looked much bigger in ads. Wendy's adverts also exaggerated the amount of the toppings its burgers featured, the lawsuit said, without giving specifics. Chimienti said that he'd bought a Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger and a Big Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger from Wendy's and a Big Mac and a cheeseburger from McDonald's.

REUTERS/Joshua Roberts/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Oct 2 (Reuters) - McDonald's (MCD.N) and Wendy's (WEN.O) have defeated a lawsuit accusing them of deceiving hungry diners by exaggerating the size of their burgers. Chimienti, a resident of Long Island's Suffolk County, said McDonald's and Wendy's ads depicted undercooked beef patties because meat shrinks 25% when cooked. The complaint quoted a food stylist who said she had worked for McDonald's and Wendy's, and preferred undercooked patties because fully-cooked burgers looked "less appetizing." He said McDonald's and Wendy's were not legally obligated to sell burgers by advertising them, and that their websites provided "prominent, objective information" about the burgers' weight and caloric content. McDonald's, Wendy's and their lawyers did not immediately respond to similar requests.

But on Monday, in honor of National Cheeseburger Day, McDonald’s customers will be able to get a double cheeseburger for just 50 cents, only 45 cents more than what the chain’s original hamburger cost in 1948. According to the company’s official website, a McDonald’s cheeseburger typically can cost as low as $1 and as high as $2.79. And Burger King would likely be forced to abdicate his throne if the monarch did nothing for National Cheeseburger Day. Loyal customers who join the chain’s Royal Perks program will get a free cheeseburger — but only if they spend at least a dollar. Many burger chains have offered deals on National Cheeseburger Day in past years.
