No, ‘bullshit’ is too many letters

Well, it’s a “Simpsons did it!”-”I hate Arby’s” joke, if you’re being precise.

“which involved an unfortunate and isolated incident that occurred at one of our stores eight years ago.”

I was kinda hoping the extra fine was because they were drawing it put for so bloody long. Putting someone they poisoned trough eight years of legal action is worth a lawsuit by itself.

I wonder what sort of case they thought they had to keep fighting.

Lets be clear on why Cracker Barrel really got smacked with this fine: It wasn’t just that their employee accidentally poisoned someone. That happened, and it’s not good, but it wouldn’t be enough for the punitive damages in question. From TooFab, who did a better job digging into this than CNN did:…

A quick look at the SDS and Eco-San appears to be a combination of bleach and lye. Fun!

I guarantee that the only reason it “was 8 years ago” is because Cracker Barrel kept it locked in pre-trial BS and litigation for 7-1/2 years.

This isn’t the first case of this happening either. A decade or so ago, a local pizza place had the same accident and the victim lost their esophagus since they took a larger drink.

100% correct, if you get sick from food poisoning but don’t die you still had food poisoning!

“disappointed” and Cracker Barrel are such a natural pairing that I almost didn’t read the article.  Hope the customer recovers quickly, but also realizes that it was almost a lot worse.  They almost ate the food.

Important point -- they didn’t “almost poison” somebody, they _did_ poison somebody! Customer drank the poison, was injured. No “almost” here!

They should have just settled that.

Hello! UK reader married to a vegan, here. Ultimately people like me are the target market for stuff like this. I know - many of us know - we *have* to reduce our meat consumption. We’re the floating voters. My diet is broadly vegetarian, I know I should do more, and meat-eating is typically reserved for takeout and…

In terms of who this is for, several of my friends who are vegetarian for ethical reasons are fine with eating meatless products cooked on/in the same surface as meat. Unless you’re super strict about it (and yes, many vegetarians/vegans are) it’s not an issue. And, anecdotally, these folks are super stoked to eat KFC…

Either they were out of fresh eggs and should have told you before letting you place the order; or the line cook mistook your McMuffin for a McGriddle or a Biscuit sandwich, as both of those come with the yucky processed scrambled egg thing.

After eating a burrito the size of my forearm, I’m expected to somehow have room for dessert?
