i want full stake in the arby's franchises we bought outside of telluride oh damn it johnny you
know i love my big beef and cheddar ah yes the i'm gonna sue you mantra we all love a little drama
but some people make a mountain out of a molehill while yes some people are definitely justified
we're here to wow you with absurdity here are the top 10 most ridiculous times people
sued fast food restaurants part two slipknot mask chicken rocker controversy buffalo chicken fries
a better way to buffalo slipknot is an iconic hard rock and metal band which means they are
understandably associated with rock and roll culture except the band felt as though burger
king took things too far with a 2004 cockrock advertisement campaign for chicken fries
featuring mutant-looking masked chicken rockers you see slipknot members are known
for wearing masks when they perform except theirs are typically of a scary nature not
well specifically scary chickens the large-scale chickens were performing rather than clucking for
the crowd in the commercial where they rocked out sporting the varying chicken head masks
well to slip knot their image is personal and so they decided to get legal with it you can
get it to go if you want to eat it in your car and cry the band filed a copyright infringement
suit claiming that bk supposedly misappropriated their image but burger king said not so fast and
countersued saying that the band were not the founders of masked rock in the end both
slipknot and burger king dropped their suits over a napkin and respect a normal amount of napkins
just won't do in stories that fall under the category of it didn't have to be this way webster
lucas a 59-year-old man from bacoma california filed a 1.5 million dollar civil lawsuit against
mcdonald's for being given only one single napkin yep you heard right over one single napkin
here's where things went awry you see webster is a fan of cleanliness and so one single napkin
just simply was not sufficient for the task of effectively keeping him clean while enjoying a
quarter pounder deluxe in 2014. i need them step out of the car please oh come on are you serious
so naturally lucas asked for more napkins which is well within his rights especially as a paying
customer but according to him the mcdonald's employee gave him a racially charged answer which
left him suffering from undue mental anguish so yes this all did start over one napkin but that's
probably not why it went as far as it did while it is unclear as to exactly who came out the winner
legally in this case lucas still filed the lawsuit in the hopes of making mcdonald's treat customers
with greater respect don't forget the sprouts so you like surprises how about a swift kick to
the bank when you order a sandwich with sprouts you expect to receive a sandwich with sprouts
heather starks was more than unimpressed she was downright furious when her sandwich showed up
minus sprouts she was so angry that she filed a class-action lawsuit in l.a county court against
jimmy johns starks's claim was that the company committed both fraud and false advertising bold
claim but we're still listening nonetheless the basis of her claim was the fact that she ordered
a sandwich with sprouts and there were none in sight like literally not a single sprout freaking
jimmy's johns jimmy johns denied the claims but ultimately settled with starks i can't remember
someone fighting this hard for their vegetables since well ever mom would be proud even if the
suit didn't go to court jimmy johns recognized the error in its ways the restaurant chain settled the
suit and agreed to stop advertising sprouts on their sandwiches since you know there are none
makes sense and jimmy johns also went so far as to provide coupons for sides and drinks to
those they had wronged with this sproutless situation percentage matters i didn't know
what i was putting into my body people hate being lied to it's true and when it comes to our food
many of us want to know exactly what is going into our bodies and with accuracy but how accurate is
a commercial supposed to be one california woman actually sued taco bell over the claim that their
meat was not even meat in 2011 the cali resident took the legal route to make a point about false
advertising the company had claimed that the meat was seasoned ground beef the suit claim however
was that the meat was only 35 percent meat while the rest of it was chemicals cornstarch wheat oats
water and an anti-dusting agent here she comes to wreck the day later on taco bell revealed
that the meat used was actually 88 beef a far cry from 35 but not exactly 100 but then again
what in fast food is 100 anything apparently the woman did not sue for money but for accountability
so that taco bell would practice more honest advertising strategies in the future basically she
was asking the fast food chain to call it like it is instead of painting a picture of something that
isn't apparently percentage matters and the people want to know exactly what they're going to consume
fair but how much information is too much information and what is too little hmm we're left
to ponder where's the fruit slow down you're gonna choke or something don't tell me how to eat donut
classified under the files of dude seriously and really is one man's plight to get some
compensation for unmet expectations most likely unrealistic expectations but we'll let you decide
krispy kreme who normally over delivers in delicious underdelivered in nutrition
for one california man la resident jason cydiane actually sued krispy kreme in 2016
requesting a cool 5 million dollars in damages the claim that they falsely advertised their
fruit-filled and maple-glazed donuts hmm okay jason's beef was with the fact that there was no
real fruit or maple in either donut what no way ever heard of the saying keep your expectations
low and you will never be disappointed well we think perhaps sadian should add it to his pool
of phrases to abide by as expecting a chain donut shop to provide fresh ingredients is kind of like
still believing in santa at 55 years of age the suit was ultimately dismissed voluntarily in 2017.
all in all just not a fruitful experience for anyone involved pun very much intended
no cheese please they're like miniature philly cheesesteak sandwiches they're delicious
in a case of uh what were they thinking one mcdonald's patron sued the golden arches for
adding cheese to a quarter pounder here's the scoop or the slice if you will cynthia
kistner and leonard werner of florida were just minding their business ordering quarter pounder
burgers from mcdonald's except kistner and werner had a request for the fast food giant
hold the cheese apparently mickey d's staffers weren't feeling the request or it just slipped
through the cracks because a wham bam no thank you ma'am their quarter pounder burgers arrived with
cheese oh come on based on principle the cheese hating floridian duo didn't want to pay for an
unwanted topping and so instead of requesting new burgers they sued mcdonald's well as is to
be expected with this one mickey d's won the case no cheese please well actually the judge said no
cheddar for you either your tables are offensively tiny head over to white castle it's what we crave
in 2009 martin kessman of new york wanted to enjoy a nice meal at white castle when
he encountered an issue we're not so sure was covered by harold and kumar kassman a stockbroker
and a man with a 290 pound frame went to sit down and eat at the resto but simply couldn't
he simply could not physically fit not only could he not fit at one table but none of
the tables at the restaurant could accommodate his size supposedly to make matters worse when
he reached out to the company regarding the table issue he was met with highly condescending letters
well martin kassman ended up suing the chain for access to larger chairs and unspecified damages he
cited that those tiny tables violated the rights of those members of the public who are overweight
he also pointed out that the disabilities act applies to him pregnant women and disabled people
as well no dude this isn't happening kessman not only suffered emotional damage but physical damage
as well as he hurt his knee trying to fit into the tables with chairs bolted down to the floor
the lawsuit was dropped some years later when white castle added chairs that were free-standing
and no longer connected to the tables eat my words after this can we get chick-fil-a because i am so
hungry focus and yes this one may take the cake in weirdest fast food lawsuits particularly because
this time in an interesting twist of fate it was the chain doing the suing chick-fil-a apparently
felt so threatened by a vermont artist that they took legal action against him the artist
created a shirt that read eat more kale seems fairly straightforward well that's because it
is but chick-fil-a's concern stemmed from the fact that their slogan is eat more chicken and
they believed that customers would somehow mistake the two and become confused i need you to stop at
a chick-fil-a oh what the fast food chain claimed that the kale slogan from vermont folk artist bull
mueller moore clashed with their trademark motto muller had been using his vegan-friendly phrase on
everything from bumper stickers to t-shirts since the year 2000 but it was only when he wanted to
trademark it that chick-fil-a sent a cease and desist letter well in the end it was chick-fil-a
who had to desist as beau won the rights to use eat more kale as he pleased in the end chick-fil-a
ate bo's words the sweet sweet taste of victory where's my steak grocka doo-da-doo it's big and
toasted time dunkin donuts wasn't ready for this customer who decided to sue over false advertising
chuffen chen of queens new york accused the donut shop of promoting steak sandwiches that actually
contained beef patties in 2017 chen sued duncan over their angus steak and egg sandwich mainly
because it was missing the steak this incident of false advertising was so offensive to chufen chen
that the suit claimed all who ordered the sandwich were victims of false advertising
i know it was you well duncan's response was that the ingredients are available to the public so
you really shouldn't have any beef with the beef in the end it all came down to the definition of
steak it would appear as though the most vital expert in this case was actually the dictionary
who states that steak can refer to a slice of meat it can also be defined as ground beef for cooking
or serving in the manner of steak so salisbury steak chopped steak or hamburger steak all can be
technically rightfully classified as steak and so with the dictionary in hand in march 2020
the case was dismissed on the ground that because duncan was using angus beef there were technically
no deceptive practices going down the judge believed that supposed reasonable consumers
would have known that it wasn't actually going to be a filet mignon the people demand more coffee
less foam fancy caramel macchiato that's a wonderful choice in a lawsuit that is so
starbucks it reeks of premium coffee beans from an actual starbucks location 2016 saw a class-action
suit that brought out all the lols apparently some northern californians believed that starbucks was
sorta skimming off the top by serving lattes with 25 percent less latte than there was supposed to
be so these people were up in arms over the belief that they were consistently being underserved by
one quarter of the coffee that they were supposedly owed oh and they also believed
there to be too much foam it's so hard to please people these days so how do you think this one
ends well the lawsuit alleged that starbucks was saving millions of dollars by holding back on its
customers and a judge believed these customers to be pretty much delusional crazy don't mind if i do
he dismissed the case and reminded them that logical customers would recognize that foam takes
up some space in a given drink kinda petty of the judge to diss them as unreasonable but we get it
besides we think this one is a case best left for elle woods get a taste of more great videos
