Florida women sues Kraft Heinz for millions because mac and cheese took longer than 3.5 minutes to cook: 'It takes far longer'

Florida woman Amanda Ramirez is suing Kraft Heinz Foods Company after her cup of microwavable macaroni and cheese took longer than 3.5 minutes to be fully ready for consumption.

In a class-action lawsuit filed on Nov. 18 in the U.S. District Court in Miami, Ramirez accuses Kraft Heinz of false advertising because her 2.39 ounce cup of Velveeta Shells & Cheese was not "ready in 3½ minutes" as its packaging claimed it would be, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.

The crux of the complaint is that customers are falsely led to believe the product will be ready for consumption 3.5 minutes after the package is opened.

Preparation, however, requires removing the lid, adding water, and stirring in the cheese pouch — on top of the 3.5 minute cook time.

"Consumers seeing ‘ready in 3½ minutes’ will believe it represents the total amount of time it takes to prepare the Product, meaning from the moment it is unopened to the moment it is ready for consumption," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit goes onto claim Kraft Heinz "sold more of the Product and at higher prices than it would have in the absence of this misconduct, resulting in additional profits at the expense of consumers."

"As a result of the false and misleading representations, the Product is sold at a premium price, approximately no less than $10.99 for eight 2.39 oz cups, excluding tax and sales, higher than similar products, represented in a non-misleading way, and higher than it would be sold for absent the misleading representations and omissions," the lawsuit adds.

The lawsuit further claims that Ramirez would not have purchased the product "had she known the truth" about its preparation time.

Just ridiculous. They need to hold the lawyers willing to bring such BS cases to court accountable. But that would cross one of the Democrats main constituencies.

I love how it’s because the poison wasn’t ready in 3.5 minutes and not the fact that it is poison to begin with.

This has to be thrown out. If it takes longer than the sign says to get to the exit?

Hey, it’s Portland. If somebody hasn’t sued over that already, it won’t be long.

And THIS is the reason that LOSER PAYS should be the law of the land. The shady lawyers assume that the defendants will settle…. and they’re probably right.

What was her big hurry? Was she expected in a Joint Chiefs meeting or something? Having a bite before starting some heart transplant surgery? No, I think she was after the ghetto lottery.
