we act by the consent of the governed sir some people just like to go to court here are 10
dubious lawsuits against food brands that will blow your mind Starbucks and too much ice five
more minutes I was just getting comfortable one of the most ridiculous lawsuits against a food
brand is one about ice yes ice a California man named Alexander furuzash sued the largest coffee
chain in the world Starbucks for too much ice in his ice drink the plaintiff wasn't happy that
his iced drink came with more ice than his actual coffee his claim was that Starbucks was using less
liquid than advertised a judge quickly dismissed the case stating that Starbucks clearly states
that it uses fluid ounces and any reasonable customer would understand this the drink to
ice ratio meets consumer standards and the fluid ounces are a measurement of the drink's volume not
of its contents when all was said and done the California judge pointed out that an ice drink
typically comes with ice and even children should know this Starbucks also let everyone know that
their ice drink cups are clear to see how much ice is included and orders can be made with more
or less ice if desired if there's too much ice in your cup simply ask the Barista to prepare it with
less ice if Alexander's case wasn't crazy enough during the same year a Chicago resident filed her
own 29-page complaint about cup to ice ratios and how ice drinks cost more than hot ones keep
the change Stacy pinkus's case was soon crushed just like the ice in her drinks Krispy Kreme and
no actual fruit is that the last donut with red white and blue sprinkles eating fruit on a daily
basis is good for your health and one Los Angeles man wanted to fill his fruit needs with Krispy
Kreme donuts and who wouldn't but after looking at the ingredients Jason saidia noticed that his
favorite sweet treats like the chocolate iced raspberry filled donut or glazed blueberry cake
donut didn't contain any actual fruit sadian also stated that the maple products like the maple bar
and maple glazed donuts didn't contain any actual Maple ingredients the Los Angeles man was outraged
and quickly filed a lawsuit against Krispy Kreme declaring false advertising concerning the maple
glazed donuts and the fruit-filled donuts the plaintiff asked for an enormous sum of five
million dollars in Damages for being lied to about the fruit and fillings his reasoning was
that he was paying for a premium product and it should include real ingredients sadian tried to
win his case by researching the ingredients in each donut and try to point out to the court
that while Krispy Kreme did mention ingredients like real lemon juice in the glazed lemon Donut
for example it still wasn't real fruit well Jason sadian's hard work didn't pay off he eventually
lost interest in the case and the lawsuit was eventually voluntarily dismissed craft and the
cooking time I'm totally on your side with the whole microwave situation thank you we all have
busy lives and want things done quickly so when Florida woman Amanda Ramirez purchased her single
serving microwavable craft Velveeta macaroni and cheese she expected it to take three and a half
minutes to cook just like it said on the side of the container and not one second longer however
Ramirez was disappointed to learn that it took a few minutes more to prepare her Velveeta Shells
and cheese in a cup hence wasting her precious time after this disappointing meal preparation
The Floridian woman took her concerns to court filing a 5 million dollar class action lawsuit
against the Kraft Heinz Foods company for false advertising and misleading instructions Ramirez's
lawyers compiled a case stating that taking the single serving cup out of the cupboard removing
the lid adding the sauce and water microwaving the pasta and stirring it all took longer than
the advertised three and a half minute cooking time craft road on the packaging all these
additional steps were just too much for Amanda Ramirez Kraft Heinz food company immediately
rebutted that the lawsuit was frivolous and that they would strongly defend their company against
the allegations in addition to the ridiculous cooking time lawsuit Ramirez's lawyers are also
arguing about the price of the premium product the plaintiff would not have paid a higher price for
a product from a brand she trusted knowing that they were lying to her about the actual cooking

by hitting that subscribe button thanks Houston's Restaurant and the artichoke can we please just
eat we've all been eating since we were babies but apparently some adults still need help
including a doctor from Miami Florida who had a bad experience eating an artichoke at a Houston's
Restaurant when Dr Arturo Carvajal ordered the grilled artichokes he immediately dug into the
delicious dish and ate everything including the leaves and stem soon after the Floridians started
having pains in his abdomen and was admitted to the hospital after his surgery Carvajal filed a
lawsuit against Houston's Restaurant for pain and suffering and for not explaining how to properly
eat the artichoke when it was served to him the restaurant's vice president was saddened by
carvajal's visit to the hospital but also went on to mention that his lawsuit is a silly notion and
what's next well they have to start instructing their customers not to eat the Bones from their
ribs Jimmy John's and no sprouts everything tastes good when you're starving how far would you go for
Sprouts on Valentine's Day one lady got her heart broken by Jimmy John's sandwich shop so California
resident Heather Starks took it as far as it would go she wanted her sprouts and when she
went to pick up her Jimmy John's order Heather quickly realized that there were no Sprouts
in her sandwich despite there being Sprouts in the picture on the menu both online and in the
physical location a reasonable person would have asked to add the Sprouts to the sandwich but not
Heather this Californian resident left Jimmy John's and proceeded to file a national class
action lawsuit against the sandwich shop for false advertising seven different claims were opened
from intentional and negligent misrepresentation to fraud fortunately the unbelievable case was
quickly settled Starks received five thousand dollars to atone for the missing Sprouts 385
thousand dollars for administrative fees and attorneys and Jimmy John also gave out over one
thousand dollars in vouchers to other customers that complained about the missing Sprouts in their
sandwiches when the settlement was resolved Jimmy John's also offered a free coupon on their website
and as a paper handout in their restaurants for a free side as an apology to this day Jimmy John's
checks every new advertising image closely and will be sure not to advertise anything in their
sandwiches that it's not there especially Sprouts Subway and the sandwich size is that chicken
yeah does size really matter Matt Corby an Australian teen who knew his measurements
noticed that his Subway sandwich was a little smaller than a foot long he posted a picture
on Facebook stating that the largest fast food sandwich chain in the world was intentionally
shorting their sandwich size the picture of his footlong sandwich next to a measuring tape didn't
add up it soon went viral and caught the attention of several disappointed customers various lawsuits
were joined together to file a complaint against Subway for false advertising Stephen denitis the
lawyer handling the New Jersey suit personally traveled to 17 shops to measure the famous
sandwiches and quickly realized that none met the 12 inches that they were supposed to be denitis
pointed out that even if it's half an inch this adds up with over 35 000 stores worldwide Subway
is getting the long end of the stick or sandwich the case is against the sandwich sizes lasted for
years Subway even ignored dinitis's calls at first and replied with a comment on the posted
photo stating that the bread was not baked to their standards and that they have policies
in place to ensure Every Sandwich is consistent they basically brushed off the comment about the
actual size of the sandwich eventually Subway agreed to a word five hundred dollars to each
plaintiff involved in the lawsuit McDonald's and the napkins you're eating a hand towel
hmm when you're the largest fast food chain in the world you need to expect complaints McDonald's has
seen their fair share of unsatisfied or picky customers over the years but Webster Lucas 59
from Pacoima California Takes the Cake Lucas a regular McDonald's customer says he suffered
mental anguish when he couldn't properly wash his hands because an employee didn't give him what he
asked for the Californian resident says that he asked for napkins plural with an S and only
received a single napkin to wipe his dirty hands Lucas stated that the manager mumbled a few words
with a nasty attitude when Webster explained to him that he would need to wipe his hands on his
shirt and wouldn't be able to clean his table with a single napkin this crazy altercation resulted in
Lucas going to the Los Angeles Superior Court and filing a claim against the burger giant lepster
went as far as to say that the encounter left him in so much turmoil that he couldn't go to work the
next day a Lucas tried to sue McDonald's for 1.5 million dollars but the company replied saying
that they had made every effort to satisfy him as a customer and no lawsuit went to court over the
years Lucas has tried to sue other big companies like Walmart and Denny's but each case was
dismissed because he would not hire a lawyer and wanted to represent himself Popeyes and the spork
because some people just don't appreciate really good food fast food is usually eaten with our
hands but sometimes you do need a fork and knife as we've all probably experienced the plastic
utensils found at most fast food joints are flimsy and can easily break when trying to cut food Paul
Newton Jr from Mississippi says his life was put in danger when he tried to eat his chicken with
the plastic Spork he was given the popular Chicken Franchise did not give him a knife when he went
through the drive-through only a spork without a knife to cut his food Newton was forced to pierce
his chicken with the spork and hold it up in his hand while trying to to tear it apart with his
teeth the uncut bites caused the Mississippian man to choke on his chicken a lawsuit was opened after
Newton recovered from the incident according to the documents Newton had to get surgery to remove
the chicken that was stuck in his throat and he's now asking for compensation and punitive damages
the Mississippian man also demanded that Popeyes include knives with every drive-through order a
former Popeye's employee told news station WLOX that the lawsuit is very confusing he stated if
you're choking on your food it's not because you had to eat it off a spork it's most likely because
you were eating your chicken too fast maybe that person should slow down when he eats nobody eats
fried chicken with a fork and knife McDonald's and the Happy Meal toys what do you want
I told you I want to play a game a man in Quebec was not so happy about McDonald's Happy Meal toys
while waiting in line at McDonald's you might have noticed the toy display showing off the
collectible toys available in the Happy Meals these displays are usually at eye level to
your child and show off new toys or small books from popular movies and cartoons if you go to
McDonald's with your kids you're surely going to start hearing some begging from your little ones
to complete the set it will require numerous visits to McDonald's during a small period of
time while the Collectibles are still available a man named Antonio bramante from Quebec Canada
decided that enough was enough he estimated having spent hundreds of dollars on individually packed
Happy Meal toys he filed an advertising class action lawsuit against the Behemoth food brand
arguing the questionable tactics to force parents to buy the collectible Happy Meal toys to be fair
Canada does have a law against advertising to children under the age of 13 and for Gravante
claimed that McDonald's was not respecting this rule a settlement was reached two years later
McDonald's agreed to pay one million dollars to four different foundations in Quebec that helped
children in need McDonald's was also required to make small changes in their Happy Meal toy
advertising like removing any interactive displays and using images of the Collectibles instead of
the actual toy Burger King and overpriced drinks 50 trips a penny saved as a penny earned and one
woman in New York took that well-known Benjamin Franklin quote very seriously this lawsuit against
Burger King will make any Cheapskate proud and any reasonable person cringe big chain restaurants try
to have continuity between their locations but some variables may require higher menu prices to
stay afloat real estate values taxes local labor laws and supply and demand can cause prices to
vary from one Outlet to another have you ever noticed a higher bill for the same meal in a
different town at the same restaurant chain this is why a woman from Manhattan New York was Furious
that she would need to walk two extra blocks to save 20 cents on her large Coke at Burger
King she could get one for 89 cents at the Burger King near her home or would need to walk or drive
a few minutes away to pay 69 cents she really wanted to save that extra 20 cents The Frugal
woman tried her luck and sued Burger King for a hundred dollars as compensation for the extra
distance she needed to go Burger King kept their crown and won the case we're serving up more great
