Red Bull was sued by drinkers who said that consumers were misled by the slogan “Red Bull gives you wings.”

Some judge needs to lose their job.

Red Bull settled out of court, so whatevs. If the judge had actually ruled in favor of Red Bull, I would be more inclined to agree with you.

i love the comment

BRB Filing lawsuit with skittles for their misleading commercials. I thought I was going to get a pet cloud that shits skittles, and a giant rainbow above my head at all times giving me endless skittles. I am extremely disgruntled and emotionally distressed.

I'm also considering taking a stab at M&M's for not having actual life sized candy that talks as depicted in the commercials. I mean DO THEY THINK THEY CAN JUST GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING THESE DAYS?!

The test would be "would a reasonable consumer actually believe that drinking a beverage would cause wings to grow?"

A secondary test would determine how they survived the botched abortion.

This is what is wrong with the legal system these days, all you need is like 50 bucks and you can file a lawsuit on fucking anything. It's ridiculous.

These days?

[Trip McNeely]

Any day? What?

[71chevellejohn]

I don't feel like I was misled...



But finding a shirt that fits right is a bitch these days. Maybe I should sue

[Sean88gt]

Any day? What?

An individual being able to bring a suit isn't new.

[Trip McNeely]

Yeah but don't you find it is more prevalent within the last 10-20 years that people sue for anything and everything?

Maybe the last 30-40. It is more common place as a result of access to information, but I don't think it is any worse than it was in 70's/80's. It also stands to reason that with the internet, more dumbasses would assume they can handle their own case.
