HOUSTON — A Houston man is suing Whataburger for nearly $1 million after he says his burger had onions on it.

Turns out he had asked for a no-onions order.

On July 24, 2024, Demery Ardell Wilson had an allergic reaction after eating a burger that had onions on it at Whataburger, court documents say. He alleges that he requested the fast-food chain to take them off before serving him the burger.

    If the restaurants change their safety and handling practices as a result then I hope he does get paid. Just like how I support that guy who searches for raptor bones around telephone and power poles to sue the companies for not using plastic caps over the metal components preventing the touching of hot to ground which kills the birds. We need more of these people.

    EDIT: This kind of Raptor (image below)

      Respectfully, we do not need more people thinking they are searching for raptor bones around telephone and power poles to prevent the eradication of an entire species.

      What’s fun about science is that a lot of people don’t understand that a good scientist will always challenge you to question their methodology, analysis, results, the whole enchilada. We advance by challenging each other and making someone defend their research. Peer review, while harsh at times, allows us to grow and innovate in ways “yes” men will never achieve.
