When in doubt about a business move that doesn’t make sense just think “does this bring short term gains to the shareholders”. In this case, they even (almost) said the quiet part out loud with their “Unlocking shareholder value” BS.

why not trim down by removing one of the Scouts’ two virtually identical offerings, Lemonades and Lemon-Ups?

Yeah the judge pretty clearly got the case right here. There is merit to the idea that a trailer can be deceptive by including things that are not in the movie and that those deceptions can be a motivating factor in sales, but that in this case the specific claim was without merit.

There’s no doubt that this stuff is complicated, and restaurants are still trying to figure out the most equitable way to deal with tipped wages while still retaining staff and remaining profitable.

I’ve eaten at both may times and lets be clear, neither chain is great (that sort of comes with the territory of being big chains), but Qdoba is way better than Chipotle, so many more options, a better price, and they actually have seem to have some creativity in their corporate kitchen. Not to mention that Chipotle…

If the Pixel Fold had a stylus I’d have bought it day one. The aspect ratio is so much better than the Samsung Fold, but not being able to make use of that big screen for notetaking is just a dealbreaker for me.

This is a sad fucking sandwich for $10. That cross-section is downright pathetic.

Every time one of these massive corporations buys out a brand like this, it’s always a death knell.

Toxic New Yorker probably who is incapable of understanding that American culture comes exclusively from the West Coast now (or does, and it scares them).

No, I’m sad that you insist on being a corporate shill, actively defending people that only want to defraud you for as much money as possible. And that you seem to like it. It’s both sad and disgusting.

Real witty. Enjoy being a shill.

Oh no. How will we go on with only small piles of poisonous garbage instead of the usual massive mountains.

You seem weirdly invested in defending these massive corporations that are profiting off of being actively deceptive. It’s pretty weird man.

Then maybe that’s okay.

They should be required, by law, to accurately depict a reasonable facsimile of the product that you will receive if all corporate training materials are followed. Food styling should not be allowed to add to or subtract from, the ingredients used, and only use substitutes for strictly technical purposes.

Compare a crunchwrap that you actually get to the advertising photo of one. They’re not even in the same universe. There is, quite literally, no way that food styling alone can accomplish that difference.

Frankly the court should test them. Randomly select a fully trained Taco Bell line worker, give them all the…

Yeah, there should absolutely be laws limiting the degree to which an advertised product does not accurately represent the product being delivered. We’ve just all kind of tacitly accepted the insane degree of misleading advertising for fast-food products, but it really isn’t okay and it should have never been allowed.…

100% guarantee that it was not the tea that made you sick.

Yup, as a native Seattlite, I have zero room to judge this combination. It is, as she said, very likely delicious.
