Where do you draw the line? Sales "puff" is the core of any marketing or advertising. Thankfully this didn't come to verdict. It would have been very depressing to read that judgment had the plaintiff been successful. | ||

I've never seen the logo, or motto, but if it said it was healthy for u, then it serves them right. It's partially relatable to the whole cigarette industry back then, saying that cigarettes actually had cures for things, and that they were healthy for you. so it does serve them right. | ||

I need to see this trial. I can't believe that someone, more or less and entire jury, accepted this without there being some HUGE argument that this article doesn't talk about. | ||

It is sad however that many people do not know how to properly read the nutrition facts. As for the case, it's way too easy to sue people/companies in the US. | ||

Today I read about a group of Native Americans that are trying to sue beer companies for alcoholism problems that their tribe has been experiencing. I certainly hope that case gets shot down fast :\ | ||

Advertising is not sleazy at all. People misinterpret ads like this all the time because they let there imagination run wild. If you simply listen to everything it has to say is that it has a few natural ingredients and the last part about breakfast never tasting so good obviously indicates lots of sugar. It states nothing about being a healthy. | ||

The press is horrible at reporting these types of cases. It ALWAYS omits critical details. The most notorious example is the "hot coffee" case. Pretty much no one knows what that case is even about. I promise you that there is a very good reason why Ferrero shelled out so much money in this case. | ||

Don't get me wrong, if the woman actually believed that, she's clearly delusional. But that doesn't even matter. Where do you draw the line? Sales "puff" is the core of any marketing or advertising. Then get rid of the core. Companies that lie should be punished for it, there's your line. It doesn't matter how obvious and transparent the lie is, they should still answer for it. | ||

Nutella just wanted to get it over with quickly. They chose to settle. If they let it go to trial, they might have ended up not having to pay a single dime. | ||
