Jack in the Box sued for suggesting angus burger is really anus burger
AOL Money and Finance
CKE Restaurants (NYSE: CKR), parent company of Hardee’s and Carl Jr.’s is suing Jack in the Box (NYSE: JBX) for a television commercial which allegedly suggests that the company’s famous angus burgers are made from cow anus (see YouTube video above).
This is one of the more entertaining legal cases I’ve seen in awhile. According to the Associated Press, “CKE claims the ads create the misleading impression that Jack In The Box’s new 100 percent sirloin burgers use a better quality of meat than the Angus beef used by Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. CKE claims the spots confuse consumers by comparing sirloin, a cut of meat found on all cattle, with Angus, which is a breed of cattle.”
