Someone did sue them once, iirc, which is why they are often called Wyngs or some such nonsense. I’m not sure about other products but for some reason as long as it’s one letter off it’s fine?
The irony to me is if you think there are wing meat in that or rib in a McRib, you might not be literate enough to even notice it’s spelled wrong.
This attitude of taking pleasure in calling people who fall for false advertising stupid or illiterate is why we’re in the golden age of scams. Intellectually disabled and illiterate people do exist, yes, and they deserve to be protected by society not mocked. It’s not ironic that they wouldn’t notice the wrong spelling; it’s the whole point of doing it. That’s exactly why the regulation is necessary.
Oh come on, who is really doing the scamming here?
Who’s going to make most of the money on this? It will be scummy lawyers, that’s who. We shouldn’t be handing a whole bunch of money to scammy lawyers just because they can imagine a hypothetical idiot that doesn’t know that the McRib is processed meat. Just do an image search on McRib and tell me that there is any way someone could think that isn’t processed meat. How the fuck would you have a sandwich that has bone in the meat?
What are even the damages on this? How would you determine who are the idiots that bought a McRib thinking it wasn’t processed meat?
If you’re really against scams, you should be against these lawyers using the legal system to scam a bunch of money for themselves.
What’s next, the makers of Goldfish crackers should be sued because hypothetically there could be an idiot out there somewhere that thinks they contain goldfish meat?
We aren’t fighting back against the corruption and scaminess in our society by just allowing some other group of people run the scams.
the fuck would you have a sandwich that has bone in the meat?
FWIW I have had a beef short rib sandwich before. The ribs were slow braised until falling off of the bone and then given a rough chop before getting put on a bun. Granted, that makes more sense for beef than pork and is never gonna happen at McDonalds and can’t happen at a McDonalds price point. Sorry, I’m extremely pedantic about food.
ninjaedit: I’m about to rail on food ignorance on Lemmy. Your comment sparked, but this entire thread and many like it are the cause. Lemmy likes to think we’re smart and yet swallows (har har) so much fucking ignorance without researching or educating, it’s infuriating.
Ignorance about how food works is off the scales.
Pet food is indeed held to a lower standard than food for humans.
You may not like chicken that has been put into a blender and then cooked into a patty, but that is essentially what a McChicken or McNugget is. It’s like ground beef, only a bit finer grind. So if you don’t like the chicken products, you should barely tolerate hamburgers.
But I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest that you’re probably one of the ones that thinks that burgers by most places are fake. Everything is fake! FAAAAKE!
Well, it largely isn’t.
For example, the rumour that they put wood in grated parmesan cheese. Cellulose is IN wood, yes, but it is a large part of what makes up vegetables, period. And it’s used to keep the cheese from clumping.
It’s like people who put egg and breadcrumbs in meatloaf to give it a certain texture and taste profile. Yes, sometimes “fillers” are added to meat products - FOR THE SAME REASONS. Is meatloaf “FAAAAAAAKE”?
Sure, rail against lower quality meats being used if you’d like and go but some wagyu and grind it yourself and make your own burgers if you want, but a lot of these products are using more of the animal, meaning it wastes less EDIBLE FOOD helping keep cost down and slightly better for the environment as each animal we kill to eat can go farther.
And MOST of the people complaining about all this “bad health” will go out to a sit-down restaurant and consume 1800+ calories of fat and sugar and salt or 1200+ calories for a “coffee” drink and do FAR more damage to their health than any fucking fast food ever could.
The misinformation just gets really fucking old. We can’t fix the ACTUAL problems because people refuse to fucking learn what the ACTUAL problems actually ARE.
This was a really heated response. Are you the Sam Altman of fast food? I think your perspective is interesting. A lot of stuff does say, textured protein in lettering.
Also I don’t where you’ve lived but sugars, fats, and salts are essential. That 1800 calories of fat could mean life or death lol. I could easily do 5000-10000 calories in a day where I used to live.
Wagyu is awesome and I’ve had plenty. Getting food directly from farmers is something I enjoy. And I don’t have a problem with hunting my own food.
“The misinformation just gets really fucking old. We can’t fix the ACTUAL problems because people refuse to fucking learn what the ACTUAL problems actually ARE.”
Maybe, but a lot isn’t misinformation. If it’s banned across the globe, maybe it’s not that good for you?
Also I don’t where you’ve lived but sugars, fats, and salts are essential. That 1800 calories of fat could mean life or death lol. I could easily do 5000-10000 calories in a day where I used to live.
The average human needs around 2000 calories per day. Soldiers might need more like 4000+ during combat operations. Unless you used to live in a hard labor camp, 10,000 calories per day would probably have caused you to become obese within months.
Consuming a day’s worth of calories in one meal while consuming other meals is why many in the world are obese.
The cold by itself does not affect calories, if you are sufficiently clothed.
If you are exposed to the point of actively shivering, you might burn something like 100-200 calories per hour. HOWEVER, you would succumb to hypothermia and die.
If you are talking about performing heavy labour, you could perhaps double your daily needs. But 10,000 calories is still wildly unlikely and anyone needing 10,000 calories per day is probably going to die quickly from that much exertion.
-40
-40°F or -40°C? Trick question, of course, as those are equal. heh. Unless you mean -40° Kelvin, in which case you have other problems like possibly breaking the laws of the universe.

I said it’s ironic, I didn’t say I’m taking pleasure. The legal decision on Wyngs ultimately doesn’t help people who get scammed, which is ironic.

Read The King of Torts
Obligatory fuck Ronald Reagan.
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help.’”
Can you explain how you feel “rib” is misspelled in McRib?
I said to another, it isn’t yet. If someone sues, it might be if it goes the same direction.
How is McRib spelled wrong?
It is the same naming convention as McChicken.
I’m not saying it is, I’m saying it will have to be if the lawsuit wins. My comment is in regards to Wyngs, though
It’s one of those scenarios where it should just be called some pork some textured protein “product”
I did buy a mcchiken without know it was basically cat food coming out a tube.

But -40 will burn you up so fast. I was constantly hungry.

You got a giggle out of me.
Yeah I did physical labor in the winter, so it was gamble of staying warm and not too warm.
