Now sue the candy makers for selling a ‘pound’ of chocolate that only weighs six ounces.

I can relate to the pain experienced by the plaintiff. I am still trying to recover from a shock I experienced when I was 8. It was then I found out that Moon Pies aren’t really made on the Moon.
I wonder if it’s not too late to sue the bastards.

Can I sue for the 100,000 dollar bar that was worth 35 cents?

All lawyers who bring frivolous cases like this should immediately lose their right to practice law.

America’s tort system really is nuts.
While visiting a winery in Temecula, Calif. several years ago, there was a poster explaining how a lawyer was visiting wineries and threatening a lawsuit if they used lead foil at the top of the bottle. Of course he was willing to go away for a suitably-sized check. While he was wanting quite a bit of money, the cost of defending the suit would be more. And there are dozens of wineries in the area.

I had Skittles and I definitely did not “taste the rainbow” and what about cereal companies getting away with advertising they are “magically delicious”? They weren’t magic and weren’t delicious.

Parties that win a class action end up with 36% of the actual award, after the lawyers take their 25% off the top, and the gov gets its 39% off the top. Doubt whether the bottom-feeding mouthpieces include this info in its brief to class members.

the attorneys will get millions, while the “affected” consumers will each get a $5 off coupon on their next purchase.

Many lawyers have too much time on their hands.
To: billorites
At issue is whether Hershey fudged on the packaging of seasonal treats. Recent wrappers showed tiny eyes and mouths on chocolate pumpkins and ghosts, but the candy inside was faceless. Similarly, the chocolate football inside “contains no carving for the laces” as depicted on the wrapper.I'm still waiting for a refund of the money I spent on my kingdom of "Sea Monkeys."

Yeah and it shows a bite taken out of the candy. Why are they complaining about that? It makes my butt itch. Stupid lawyers.

And this is why so many people see lawyers as scum of the earth.

My lawsuit would be against Captain Disease ( Captain D’s ).
Their fish used to be a nice sized filet now they sell what amounts to fish fingers or fish sticks. They should have to name it correctly as it’s false advertising.
