I went from a massive high and <3's for TL calling out the McDonald's coffe case misconceptions to the lows of this logic. Thirded ( does that even exist lol ? ) As someone previously said, this thread just goes to showing who is capable of properly reading the op and using his brains and who isn't.

Sigh Seconded, except for the "funny" part. While i can see the irony it just makes me really depressed somehow. Like how i just noticed the huffingtonpost doesn't actually lets you post in their comment section. I tried but it said something like " the comment will be reviewd and posted when approved ". It's just really sad. It's like, now i can see why it's so easy to manipulate people, and i'm not even talking about how feasible it is, it's just that, when i look at how fucked people are sometimes i can totally see myself manipulating them as my government / corporations do should i be in their spot. | ||

If you actually watch the advertisement it's clear that Nutella is trying to make people believe that the product is part of a healthy breakfast, when in actuality Nutella is the only item in the breakfast that isn't healthy. There's clear intent to mislead. This advertisement is a lot like the soft drink 7-up's ad campaign a few years back where they had people pulling cans of 7-up out of the earth as if it's some kind of healthy fruit or vegetable because they were using "all natural" ingredients, even though the company did not actually change a single ingredient in their soda. It's good for us consumers when companies are sued for trying to misrepresent their product and selling their products as something they're not. | ||

How else are average people supposed to get accountability from big companies? They should be held accountable for doing something wrong. The average person is fucking stupid. | ||

Second, all advertizing is false anyway. Axe doesnt give you women? Sue. Nike doesn't make you a soccer star? Sue. Razer mice don't make you win tournaments? Sue. You just cannot sell anything with truthful advertizing. Ridiculous claims are an advertizing tactic for gaining attention, even though you don't expect anyone to believe them. In short, ridiculous lawsuit, ridiculous outcome, ridiculous that this is legal. | ||

You wouldn't suppose a physical object could be a negative number in count, but when it comes to this fucked up woman's braincell count, oh it definitely can. Same goes for whoever the fuck decided in her favour. Nobody decided in her favor. The complaint was settled, which is to say Nutella and the plaintiffs agreed on Nutella paying the money outside of court. | ||

It should be up to the consumer to really take note of the nutritional information that is on every packet. With obesity being such a prevalent issue, you would think people would have taken notice and actually read these labels. | ||

Honey Nut Cheerios even claims it 'can lower cholesterol' which is very technically true; if all I consumed were the Cheerios I would drastically reduce my cholesterol, and also very likely contract type II diabetes, anemia, numerous vitamin deficiencies, etc. Is this the next lawsuit? Who among us will sacrifice a child by feeding them nothing but Frosted Mini Wheats until they become horribly ill, then blame the advertisement that it is 'healthy' for kids; the commercial even shows it helping children study(so you should feed it to them as a snack as well as breakfast!). | ||

Turn out i'm not fat and all. i used to eat nutella a lot also and my body fat was never higher than 3% the key is to do exercise when you eat sugar however, I don't like the fact there is coconut oil in the nutella. that stuff is deadly in long term use. guess ill try to search for something similar without coconut oil. | ||
