It wasn’t so long ago that black men sitting at a “white” diner counter were having scalding hot coffee dumped on them, in order to fight for equal rights.

How do you go about this on a smaller scale though? Twice now one of my co-workers has pulled me aside and pointed out a customer (the same guy both times) and asked me to under pour his drinks because my co-worker says this man raped a friend of his. Now the exact details as to how my co-worker came to know this and…

Yeah, let's all buy a Nazi a sandwich and sing Kumbaya.

Why would you pass up the opportunity to harangue someone like that?

Nothing is wrong with the lawsuit. It's fine and legit.

Thanks for this, Kate. TakeOut has passed through some bad headlines in the past (but mostly for unimportant stuff). This one’s important.

I have a sensitivity/allergy to chocolate which includes white chocolate but not “confectionary coating” and the like. It’s not chocolate but it’s the closest I’m going to get to having chocolate and sometimes I get sick of gummy candy, so I’d like to see the distinction made. It just makes it a little bit easier to…

“The Takeout’s argument: this is incredibly goofy, and exactly the kind of suit that makes people around the world resent litigious Americans.”  No, it’s the fact that we are under-regulated and allow companies to dupe us at ever turn.  Love to see how these are labeled in Europe.

Absolutely not. The price of entry isn’t the issue, it’s what that low price of entry gets the company when multiplied over millions of consumers. I haven’t read the actual suit, but the charges don’t seem set up to enrich the two plaintiffs; they’re to keep the company from making a shitload of money over the entire…

This is why most Palmer candy says “Chocolaty” rather than “Chocolate,” because they don’t have enough cocoa mass to qualify legally as chocolate. They are less valuable to consumers this way, and Palmer not getting to front like they have a chocolate levels the playing field a little.

Absolutely. As someone who was diagnosed with autism as a young child, I can safely say that it is better to be socially awkward than dead due to easily preventable diseases

I’m actually kind of okay with this? I’ve worked in brand marketing, and we absolutely have conversations about whether or not consumers will misconstrue what, for instance, “white” will connote in these situations, and what kind of liability that opens you up to. For instance, there are ABSOLUTELY certain products on…

Everything should be in 6 packs of 12 oz cans, because carrying bottles around sucks, returning them for recycling sucks MORE and 4 packs of 16 ozers are rip offs.

You truly are a wordsmith,*squints at screen*

As they say in Belfast…

One nation, under Iron Man, indivisible, now and till the hour of our death. 

Twas a bad day to be orange. 

Gonna take a minute to start getting comments on this post because we’re all trying to figure out how to call that bar and buy a round for the house.

I feel like ID especially is something A LOT of people watch, I understand being a suspect AND having true crime books and ID on your tv at all times wouldn’t be a good look though. I have no interest in murdering anyone but if I were a suspect, my love of the macabre would not help my case. I have a shit ton of true…

No, she doesn’t have a chance, because both parties don’t operate the same, thank god.  No, she does not have a chance, because the Democratic Party isn’t fucking nuts, nor does it champion any of the things you lay out.
