Good God. Just imagine this incredibly brave Karen's mental anguish when she bit into this delicious but uncute treat and could not immediately unload her bottomless rage on the nearest assistant manager.
The horror. The horror.
Why even let massive corporations get away with false advertising? If they show the pumpkin have a face on the cover, they better have a face on the actual thing. You're just decenticized to being fucked around by corporations that you're defending them for lying to you.
@stephen01king @TokyoMonsterTrucker desensitized?
Yep, I brain farted on that word there lol
I don't care if she wins a billion dollars. Hershey's can go bankrupt tomorrow. I just know what actual problems look like and a fucking candy wrapper ain't one of them.
The world is allowed to have more than one problem solved at once.
Based on the number of downvotes I'm getting, I'm apparently supposed to empathize with a woman with the time and financial resources to finance a frivolous candy lawsuit instead of reporting it to the FTC .
Here's a little preview of how badly she will have her ass handed to her in court, and this case arguably does involve harm to consumers: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/04/business/wendys-mcdonalds-false-advertising-lawsuit/index.html
