I’m not one to Stan a megacorp, but free my boy McRib. He did nothing wrong!
Lmao, “no reasonable customer would expect the thing with the word “rib” in the name and shaped like ribs to be made of rib meat.”
Sure, it’s obviously not literally a rack of ribs but clearly they are trying to associate it with a fancier product by way of naming and shape it like that. Probably wouldn’t sell as well if it was called the McTripe. That’s pretty deceptive and misleading.
Is it that big of a deal? Not really, but also it’s just one example out of a mountain of examples of McDonald’s misleading or manipulating customers.
Any Judge who rules against a megacorp in their hometown jurisdiction will likely not remain a Judge in that location very long.

This sounds a bit like people demanding that almond milk should be called “nut juice”.
Also: Buffalo wings have no buffalo.
The wild part about the almond milk thing is that is existed since the middle ages and was used as a dairy milk substitute even back then and it’s been called almond milk for nearly the whole time. And yet now it’s somehow a problem.
Yeah. It’s weird how some of these industries fly into a panic and seek to suppress and mount campaigns against something that is an alternative, often a better alternative in many ways.
They get all litigious over calling something “milk” if it’s not dairy. They preemptively get states to outlaw what is likely one of the only serious ways to address global warming: cultured meat. Which is just bonkers - it’d be like Big Carbon getting states to simply outlaw wind and solar preemptively. Imagine, getting prison time for selling cultured meat.
These industries all have assets and the knowledge to get things onto shelves already; they could simply invest in the future as well.
This one is kinda stupid since dino nuggets dont have any… Wait they sorta do have dinosaur meat.
Nevermind.
no reasonable consumer could expect the McRib to contain rib meat
Sounds right to me. People will litigate anything.
The thing is, McDonalds doesnt have reasonable customers
The courts need to step in and finally force Taco Bell to offer the Double Decker Taco year round.
YOU HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS YOU ASSHOLES JUST MAKE IT FOR ME
when they removed the gordita, but kept the chalupa, I was devastated.
That makes no sense. Did they really do that? Gorditas are/were wildly unpopular (except for the CGC), but it took so much less effort to warm those up than it did to deep fry it into a Chalupa.
Yep. At least around me they did. And they refuse to make a gordita, and you can’t order a raw chalupa. They did bring it back this fall for a limited time, but I can’t go to my local taco bell anymore because they have flock cameras in the parking lot.
:c
Flock cameras
in places isare gross. Blech.
This is just a litmus test case before they take on Big Gummi Bear!
McDonald’s at least gets a scapegoat for killing the McRib for good. Darmok would label this “Heston, seeing Lady Liberty”
Good. Surprised it took this long.
