Comparative advertising on buses has suffered a setback after a ruling
by the Advertising Standards Authority against Burger King.
Its ad boasted ‘60% more beef than them’, and used the McDonald’s
symbol. But McDonald’s said the ad related only to regular burgers.
Though the ad did carry a footnote to that effect, the ASA said: ‘The
choice of media affects the advertising. People would not have a chance
to read the footnote.’
