A California man is suing the makers of Texas Pete hot sauce over false advertising, because it is not made in Texas.
In the lawsuit against T.W. Garner Food Co. shopper Philip White says he purchased a bottle of Texas Pete hot sauce in September 2021, believing it was made in Texas.
I think they pulled this shit with Kings Hawaiian Bread products too. Sorry folks, headquarters is in Calif. I think there are a couple branches on the east coast too. Zero bakeries in Hawaii. About two years ago I heard somebody was suing.
This is where a Looser Pays system is appropriate. I suppose it is OK that Dumbass can find a lawyer to file this bullshit suit with the hope for a Go Away payment from the defendant. I only hope the shyster isn't doing this on spec but is billing the jerk premium rates for every hour wasted on this abomination...
MIL told me one year at Thanksgiving that there was a massive recall of Butterball turkeys, because someone forgot to butter their balls. I thought the old bat would die laughing at her own stupid joke. No such luck.
Some years ago a lawyer from Los Angeles went up and down the state suing restaurants for violations of ADA. Even the smallest descrepancies (like a handrail 3/8th inch too low) became the basis of legal action. Of course, he suggested out of court settlement payable to him. Otherwise, straight to court. His petty BS caught up with him when he was named a vexatious litigant.
This is slightly off point but it's always stuck with me. Back in the previous century, there was a big uproar over something to do with the Metal band, Slayer. In an interview with Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead he said, "Who are they that they shouldn't be offended? Some people walk around with a little notebook looking for things to be offended by." Boy have things progressed since then. RIP Lemmy.
There are so many stomach-turning pop hits from that period of time. What about "Billy don't here a hero" by Paper Lace ? GAG ME.
And speaking of John Denver, I was on a business trip to Denver in the summer around 1985 that lasted a few weeks. One weekend the others in the program and I took a drive into the mountains and stopped at Copper Mountain ski resort. We took the chair lift to the top to see the pile os snow that was still there. On the lift, there were some others who while on the line to get on the chair we learned were locals. On the lift, we were talking (well, shouting actually) with each other about silly things and I shoulder out "Hey, whatever happened to John Denver?"
The piece of shit is the lawyer taking a case like this.
ReplyDeleteTexas Roadhouse better watch out
ReplyDeleteThis means we can sue the DNC for it not being a democratic party?
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
Next they’ll be telling me “Eskimo pies” aren’t made by eskimos.
ReplyDeleteAnd Girl Scout Cookies are not made with real Girl Scouts!
DeleteWait, what? WHAT??!!
DeleteAnd there weren't really any Smurfberries in Smurfberry Crunch breakfast cereal.

ReplyDeleteCases like this is why plaintiff and attorney need to be sues out of existence. No way in hell can plaintiff justify his hurt feelings.
ReplyDeleteOr Outback Steakhouse.
ReplyDeleteOnly in California.
Duh.......
ReplyDeleteIn the 70s a woman sued Butterball because their turkeys didn't have butter in them. I don't remember the outcome.

DeleteThere once was a time when a judge would look at this guy and say “RUFKM? Get out of my courtroom!” No longer. Sad.
ReplyDeleteOr Arizona Tea.

I'm thinking this turd is of that same mold.
Same thing was happening in the Modesto/Stockton area. Might've been the same lawyer.

The shouted back "WE SHOT HIM !!"
Funniest thing I recall from that trip.
