Derek Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 A Florida woman is suing Kraft for $5 million, saying Velveeta microwave mac and cheese takes longer to make than advertised | CNN Business WWW.CNN.COM The label on Velveeta's microwaveable mac and cheese says it takes three and a half minutes to prepare. But a Florida woman says this is false -- and... With a 3 and 4 years old, I make a shit ton of this Mac and Cheese. It does only need 3 and a half minutes in the microwave, but yes, the entire process takes longer than 3 and a half minutes, probably closer to 4 or 4 and a half minutes. So... legit lawsuit?

Guest Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Quote “misleading” marketing of “‘ready in 3½ minutes,’ which instantly catches the eye of all reasonable consumers.” There is a fun docuseries on Netflix called “Hey Pepsi, where’s my jet” which explains why the notion of a “reasonable consumer” is so important in this filing. It is now a bedrock of false advertising claims, that a “reasonable consumer” would believe the claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I got some noodles that advertise taking 4 minutes in the microwave. However, in the instructions, it say to let the noodles sit for another minute. Ignoring actual prep and mixing time, there is an actual extra minute in the instructions. I should sue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Annie's is fuckin' dogshit. Fuckin' walmart brand blue box is better than that shit. And Mini-shells are shit too. All they do is create spots for dry powder to hide and then you either suffer the dry spots or you add more milk which makes the sauce too thin. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homemade mac n cheese ain't worth the effort and it's kinda costly when you have to get actual real cheese. It ain't 75 cents I pay for a box of kroger brand.

I started watching this tonight based on your recommendation and HOLY COW - I HAVEN'T LAUGHED THIS MUCH IN AGES I distinctly remember this entire situation because I was the same age as John Leonard when it all went down (I was attending UF at the time) and I had a friend who fell hook, line, and sinker for that Pepsi advertising campaign to the point where he convinced himself that Crystal Pepsi was actually good!

SmugPrick Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 No one should be surprised by this. Years ago, someone sued Winnebago because no where in the manual did it say you can exit the driver seat while on the road and go to the back to hang out. They crashed the winnebago and won the lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
