[zantac666]

The news had a story about a women who gained weight on a producted called pirate booty the calorie or fat content was more then advertised so she is sueing for 15 million.

Now that will cost the people money.

 

[Private Vasquez]

Pirate Booty???

LOL!!

 

[badasschick]

I think they gave her fair warning....Pirate BOOTY!

"bitch don't eat the whole bag!"

 

[Pagan_Dragon]

Some times I wonder how really DUMB some people can be

 

[Sillyman]

Here is a small tip. Never use a product intended for anyone over the age of 14 that includes a pirate on the box. This goes for condomns, vitamins, pregnancy tests, perfumes AND colognes, and suppositories.

 

[Orlanth]

She probably did it on purpose just so she could sue.

The only thing I can say is "Darwin Was Right"

Yeah, I read Darwin's works on Pirate Booty and suing companies over personal stupidity... Darwin *was* right.

Ok, people- I just want to say a few things.

Pirate Booty is supposed to be a low fat, low calorie, high-fiber food. I know that many people on Weight Watchers ate it as a snack, because it was very low in Weight Watcher points. Originally, Pirate Booty had the nutritional value that it said it did on the label. However, the company needed to expand due to the demand on their product. They sold it to another comapny that changed the formula for hte Pirate Booty. It was more cost effective, but it made the snack higher in calorie and fat, and lowe rin fiber. They never changed the label.

I think it's silly of the woman to sue for so much ,but how wouldn'y you be pissed if you ate something that you thought was relatively healthy, only to find that the company misrepresented the nutrition value?

This is NOT the original nutriyion value for the snack.

An open letter to our consumers and family

Recently due to our growth we've had to expand our manufacturing capabilities to adjust to market conditions and create a more consistant product that is better suited to meet the demands of our growing business.

With that in mind, we have had to install new machines that make Pirate's Booty, Veggie Booty, and Fruity Booty. These new machines run faster, make a lighter, puffier and superior product that taste great. Due to these changes in manufacturing there was a need to adjust the amount of cheese to the Pirate's Booty and in turn the nutrition facts have changed. These Changes have made Pirate's Booty a more consistent and better snack.

(Please refer to the Nutrition facts box to the left)


We are continually striving to create and provide you with the best snacks on the planet


Thanks for your continued support.

Darwin "was" right...

Good bye human species.

 

[Sateema Lunasi]

I see where she would be pissed off, but suing for 15m is too extreme, and the fact is, I can't see myself eating anything called Pirate Booty.

Oh Gawd, that makes me giggle, just typing it.

 

[Sateema Lunasi]

Lilminx, I just laughed HYSTERICALLY reading that description. I think I must be very juvenile because I cannot read "Fruity Booty" and "adjust the cheese in the Pirate Booty" withougt being floored.

 

[Impetus]

Is it possible to slap someone serious?

I recently read a story that I think fits perfectly here.

There's a carnival ride thing for kids that's basically a huge blow-up balloon model of the Titanic sinking. The stern of the boat is up and it goes toward the grouns and kids can slide down it and play and cavort. It's real popular for traveling carnivals and such because it'seasy to transport and helium to inflate it is cheap.

They had one of those things up at a carnival in Queens, NYC. Apparently, a gust of wind came up and blew the ride over. It fell, slowly, and ended up with about ten kids underneath it. The young children were goten from under it very quickly and treated for minor bruises and scrapes.

The parents of those ten kids are now suing the Carnival company and the State of New York for 100 million dollars.

Yep, that's right. 100 million dollars.

Let's get to slapping.

I hate a major operation on my back, which cursed a stroke. Because the doctors wouldn't listen to me or my mum about I was getting worse, my nervous system is all but destroyed in my left leg. - AND I DIDN'T SUE ANYONE!

And this woman is suing for $15 million because she put on weight...

HELLO?!?!

I guess the name for the snack does sound funny, but it's been a staple snack of many people on Weight Watchers. Many of these people work very hard to get rid of the weight they want to lose, and when they find a low calorie, low fat food they tout it as gospel. Pirate Booty was one of those foods.

I think the woman is trying to make a point that food manufacturers should not be able to get away with false advertising the way they did with Pirate Booty.

I can see why the Parents would want to sue... But for P$100 MILLION? That's just going WAY over board.

It is pretty ridiculous... like the woman who sued McDonalds because their coffee was too hot... and, although I understand the reasoning behind this other suit, I agree that it is somewhat over the top. Moderation...

When I was 20, I was involved in an auto accident... my best friend, her boyfriend (he was driving his car) and I were hit head on by a drunk driver. Our injuries were not life threatening or even long term, but did require some time in the emergency room getting stitched up. The drunk driver walked away without a scratch.

The drunk driver was destitute... no money.. so my best friend's parent's decided to sue the boyfriend!! He was just out of highschool...looking at going to college. He had done everything within his power to avoid the oncoming car. The police even congratulated him, telling him that without his quick response, the accident would have been much worse. My friend begged her parents to withdraw the suit. They didn't. And these people were not at all in need of the cash. They ended up winning the suit, changing lives, and hurting several people in the process.

Anyway! There is a moral here somewhere... Eat healthy snacks in moderation, let the coffee cool before drinking... don't drink and drive.. and above all else.. Never..NEVER play in a carnival toy that looks like the Titanic!!!
