On the surface this might sound silly but after looking at the chocolate it’s straight up false advertisement. They know people will buy it specifically because of the way it looks. It’s bait and switch.
Yeah, this isn’t like a fast food burger that isn’t quite as elegantly stacked as it appears on a tv commercial or something. This is clearly advertising a candy with a jack-o-lantern shaped cutout in the chocolate while selling you something different. It makes for a silly headline that’s perfect for this community, but if she wants to sue them over it I’m gonna side with her on this one.
It’s deceptive and corporations shouldn’t be allowed to get away with crap like this. Because if we let them get away with this little lie they won’t stop there. They will only get bolder and more egregious.
And shame on business insider to down play it as someone complaining they’re not ‘cute’ enough.
Let me save you a click:
left = cute pumpkin
right = lil poopI’d say, “left = cute little poop”…
Spooky poop.
Who took a bite of the lil spooky poop?
Spoopy Poopy
The way the headline is worded makes me think it’s trying to spark outrage and debate against the woman suing.
But also boy did I learn my lesson about not judging Joe Shmoe vs Corporate after learning more about the McDonald’s hot coffee case.
I’m gonna withhold judgement and see where this ends up!
Americans will sue over everything and anything
I think that’s what the headline is trying to get you to say. And we had the same reaction with the McDonald’s case. But I hope we’re getting a bit wiser that when the story is spun this way it’s not too far out there to think that the corporation could have employed a media consultant to help spin this as “Americans sue over everything this case is dumb” when in reality there might be a good case under there that it’s easy to dismiss or ignore.
I suspect that’s the low hanging spin for corporations who are being held accountable. “Don’t sue us, that’s dumb! Look how dumb she’s being. Entitled! Money grab!”
LET’S FUCKING GO
False advertising bastards let’s bring em down!
They’re fixing this. Next Halloween these will be known as Reese’s Peanut Butter Blobs.
She should win, it might seem dumb, but she thought of it first
They need to label it more clearly. The thing in the package is what the jack o’ lantern pooped out.
I’d never noticed. They go into my mouth hole so fast that I can’t say I’ve looked at the actual design.
The lawsuit also takes issue with the Reese’s Peanut Butter Footballs, which have carved out laces on their packaging, but instead “look like an egg” when viewing the actual product.
LACES OUT, DAN!
“This is America”
Laces out Hershey
I missed my chance to sue because I had a Pepsi in the 80-90s and I wasn’t dancing like a maniac afterwards.
Literally White People Problem
The Peanut Butter Pumpkins also don’t have bites taken out of them, is she suing for that part too, or just the faces not being carved in? Because if she reasonably assumed that they didn’t have bites taken out of them, then she probably could’ve assumed that the graphics on the wrapper weren’t 100% accurate as to what the contents looked like.
