The Daily Money: Where's the beef? Taco Bell sued for 'false advertising'

Happy Tuesday, dear TDM readers! This is Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy bringing you today’s top headlines.

A New York man is suing Taco Bell for false advertising. His complaint? The company isn’t making many of its menu items the way they’re pictured in advertisements.

Frank Siragusa of Queens, New York, is seeking class-action status to include other disappointed Taco Bell customers.

The lawsuit includes multiple side-by-side photos comparing Taco Bell’s advertisements with what the food looks like IRL.

The “Mexican Pizza” he bought, Siragusa claims, had about “half of the beef and bean filling that he expected.”

The California-based company is only the latest fast-food company to be sued for smaller-than-expected portions. Last year, McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s were all sued last year size of their cheeseburgers.
