BuffaloKyle Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hershey is sued for selling Reese’s Peanut Butter cups without ‘cute pumpkin faces’ | CNN Business WWW.CNN.COM Cynthia Kelly thought she was buying Halloween-themed Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins with a “cute” carving of a pumpkin’s mouth and eyes, as pictured on... You know I get these from people every year and I always think the same thing. Why is it a solid chocolate shell with no little cutouts of the eyes and mouths. I want 💰 too! + sync, + FrankR and MikeBiDude 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloKyle Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 I guess the defense can be though you know it's gonna be different from the picture because are you going to expect to find a piece bit off already like in the picture? 😅 Simon Suraci, + ButchAtl, + FrankR and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsc Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) All the candy maker needs are those two magical words seen on practically every food package cover or menu with an image of their product - Serving Suggestion. It's the get-out-of-jail-free card for culinary misrepresentation. I once noticed these words on a box containing a frozen Sara Lee cheesecake, and next to the words Serves Six. Assessing the smallish size of the box, my immediate thought was "Who are these six skinny people? I'm going to eat the whole thing by myself while watching a half-hour TV show. 'Serves Six,' my ass!" Edited January 3 by wsc Simon Suraci, + sync and + Oliver 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Vegas_Millennial Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The package says Pumpkin, not Jack-O-Lantern. She should have looked for the package that said Jack-O-Lantern of that's what she wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hershey defense could probably make use of your observation/analysis. 👏 + Vegas_Millennial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Belgium Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) On most food packaging, food commercials, food ads there's "food suggestion" of "serving suggestion" or something like "food in package could be different from food in picture". There's a supermarket that explained they use the ugly apples to make apple juice but on the package there's only perfect apples. How much text has to be added to satisfy these Karens? Imaging providers have to add text to their pics "serving suggestion", "during summer tan lines could be different as shown in the picture"...
