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.

False advertising is my pet peeve, actually really pisses me off.

This however is not (in my opinion)

[healy61]

I would love to see a picture of this maggot.

Any judge that doesn’t toss this nonsense out should be disbarred.

[Mears]

Remember the guy who sued dry cleaners for about 55 million dollars because of a pair of pants.

This country has gone nuts.

If you can afford the FANCY ‘Velveeta Shells and Cheese’ versus the cheaper package with the powder, you’ve got NO problems in this world, Lady!

These people don’t know how good they’ve got it! *SMIRK*

Ha-ha! Same as a Cheese Cup.

[Persevero]

True, and yet truth in advertising is important.

I don’t want advertisers to make blatant lies unchecked.

> I am suing M&Ms there are too many E 3 and W in the packaging. <

I guess I’m getting older. It took me a while to figure that one out.
Well-played!

I guess their woman’s picture is displayed next to examples of
in need of getting a life.

[chuckee]

How does she feel about premature ejaculation not beating her egg timer

[SaveFerris]

LOLOLOLOL - Well-played!

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe the problem is with her microwave. She should be suing the manufacturer of the microwave.

[Clarancebeaks]

She should just go all the way and sue God for making her such an azzhole.

[livius]

She’s probably pretty scary looking…😬

[Chode]

get a new microwave...

[moovova]

3.5 minutes is for al dente shells & cheese.

The lady needs to get some culture.

[FoxInSocks]

Each quick mac and cheese cup includes shell pasta and original cheese sauce so you have everything you need to make a quick mac and cheese. This microwavable macaroni and cheese is always a great choice for dorm food or a tasty single-serve option at home. Preparing this microwave cup is a breeze. Just combine pasta with water up to the fill line in the cup, microwave for 3.5 minutes, and stir in the cheese sauce mix.

[Dave911]

In more ways than you can count.

Well, she seems to be saying that the 3-1/2 minutes refers to the cooking time, not all of the preparation that goes before.

Stupid lawsuit, and it will - or should - be thrown out.
