The 5-Year-Old McDonald’s Took to Court

In the early 1980s, McDonald's took legal action over a Burger King commercial, and a five-year-old girl ended up named in the case. That's just the appetizer. The Burger Wars are a 70-year food fight, served as a seven-course menu with a running scoreboard: the Whopper vs. the Big Mac, "Where's the beef?", the McWhopper peace offer (and that P.S.), Wendy's roasting McDonald's online, the broken ice-cream machine, a tiny Irish chain taking on the Big Mac trademark, and the penny Whopper that only worked in a McDonald's parking lot.
