Reply to comment by Feshtof in Lawsuit claims mini bottles of Fireball Cinnamon don’t actually contain whisky by TheAngryBlackGuy

> only the small text indicating otherwise is misleading.

There is more than this. It's not just the small text on the back, it doesn't say whiskey anywhere on the front of the bottle -- as all the whiskey actually does.

Sure the label looks virtually identical but for that, but that's called... branding. You have to be somewhat mentally deficient to believe that Fireball whiskey can be sold in your local gas station, but no other brands are allowed in, and then to not actually look at it but just blindly buy it..

This is the same jackass who sued Velveeta last year claiming their shells & cheese takes more than 3.5 minutes to make, and has filed something like 400 or 500 lawsuits like this. Special seat in hell reserved.

Several gas stations in my area sell liquor. I would find this confusing.

fun fact: you're wrong. here's what the canadian version of fireball looks like. yes it's whiskey. no the word isn't anywhere on the battle. yes the canadian version is sold in the US

lots of gas stations are in fact legally allowed to sell liquor

Oh No! Think of the poor billion dollar conglomerates /s

If it’s frivolous they can prove so in court. Either way they (the company) will be fine, but someone really need to hold them accountable, for their bullshit. After all companies pretty much have same legal rights as people.

Stella Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, P.T.S., Inc. and McDonald's International, Inc. case is a great example of company PR being used to sway public opinion in favor of massive company who couldn’t give less Fs about anything but profit.

For suing companies with misleading marketing? Clearly needs an express lane straight down.

For filing hundreds of frivolous lawsuits over advertising material that is only "misleading" to a 6 year old.
