Florida woman sues after claiming Velveeta Shells and Cheese cup takes longer than 'ready time' to prepare
FOX Business ^ | 11/27/2022 | Stephen Sorace

A Florida woman is suing the parent company of Velveeta’s microwavable Shells & Cheese cups after claiming it takes longer to prepare the meal than the 3 1/2 minutes the box label says.

The suit alleges that the statement of "’ready in 3 1/2 minutes’ is false and misleading because the product takes longer than the 3-and-a-half minutes to prepare for consumption."

It goes on to quote the four steps to prepare the meal that are printed on the box label before alleging that the 3 1/2-minute ready time is "just the length of time to complete one of several steps," referring to the time it takes to microwave the product after having mixed in other ingredients listed in previous steps.

Ramirez, like other consumers, sought to “stretch their money as far as possible when buying groceries,” according to the suit, and “looks to bold statements of value when quickly selecting groceries.”

——

Then buy some macaroni and buy some cheese and make yourself about triple the amount of a four pack of the microwave stuff. Someone should ask her what does the time it takes have to do with the money sue saves?

It is noteworthy that this is a class action lawsuit.

We have a law firm that is slightly below pond scum.

Maybe it’s her microwave and she doesn’t understand wattage. Her lawyer should be disbarred.

Jiffy Pop was reported to add, “A jiffy is not a unit of time, by the way. Just a colorful figure of speech.”

The judge should toss the case and charge her for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

The judge should toss the case with prejudice, tell the stupid bimbo she is a vacuous moron, and make her lawyer pay for the company's legal fees and also order that same lawyer that he may not charge the bimbo for the legal fees he had to pay.

Lawyers who file these lawsuits need to be hammered into bankruptcy and have their law licenses revoked.

Lawyers for Kraft will be lawyers that work for an insurance defense firm. The rates are sharply below market rates and they make it up in volume of cases, not churning the ones they get. The insured and the carrier will seek to have this case crushed as quickly an economically as possible to discourage similar efforts, and will closely monitor counsel’s progress to that end

Gee, If I didn’t hate lawyers, judges and juries as much as I do, I’d sue them for the “cheese” part.

That ain’t cheese.

(Full disclosure: I love macaroni and ‘cheese’.)

Run tests to check the claim. If the product consistently underperforms by far, the company and its advertising need a good, sound shake up. I applaud this woman, but only on condition she has not been incompetent in using the product.

A jiffy is indeed a unit of time, but the problem is that it is a different amount of time in different fields of science and technology. There isn’t any universal standard jiffy.
