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.

Onions are easy to remove, it is that damn mayonnaise that ruins everything that should never be the default. If some confused person actually wants that garbage on anything they should be handed a packet to add it themselves.

If i custom order and its not right and they advertise custom ordering, theyre getting a bad review. This guy is DEATHLY allergic to onions so if the place advertises custom ordering they better give him his million.
