A New York man has a beef to pick with McDonald's and Wendy's: misleading adverts he says make their burgers look much bigger than they actually are.

He is seeking $50m (£40.3m) in damages for himself and other similarly duped customers.

While Burger King has yet to respond in court, an amended complaint shows that more unhappy customers have signed onto the suit.
