Unfortunately, too many suits are ‘nuisance’ suits, filed just to force a settlement, whether with or without merit. Litigation is too expensive for most people, and too damaging for most corporations. Easier to pay folks to walk away.
One of the problems with this is that these suits clog up the courts for those meritorious cases that should be litigated.

You bet your ample BOSOM she do!
Although SHE's been dead since 1941; the best HER grandkids ever got was a bit part in City Slickers!
Our case has been languishing in the system for YEARS.
Our new lawyer has promised to get things moooooooving along.

I suspect they really are trying to get some kind of settlement out of court and they write a check to get them out of their hair. "There's no such thing as bad PR."

Oh, you mean like that black woman on the Popeye’s Chicken commercial with the accent? PC or not, that woman solidified my ban on their chicken.

I think 40% is the going rate for a “speculative” lawsuit.
Stuff like this is why we need loser pays.

Pancake recipe? Like Pancakes were some big secret to make.
Egg, Flour, Salt, Milk, Soda. Done.
About as absurd as a Lemonade recipe.
Lemon, Sugar, Water.

That’s what I was thinking about. They’ve changed the image several times, so I’m not sure how this would realte to their relative. On the other hand, the new image is ridiculous, they always try to “update” it and make it seem “younger,” but I just look at that new image and think she probably doesn’t know how to cook. “Aunt Jemima” indeed? Seem with the new image of the Colonel, or Mr. Clean. They’re just not believable.
