HERSHEY, Pa. (CBS) – A Florida woman is upset about the lack of designs on Reese’s holiday-themed peanut butter candy - and now she’s taking parent company Hershey to court over it.
Cynthia Kelly filed a federal class-action lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida, alleging several Reese’s products don’t match their photos as depicted on the wrappers.
For example, Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins are merely pumpkin-shaped hunks of peanut-butter-stuffed chocolate, and the actual product has no Jack O’lantern-style carvings as the wrapper depicts, Kelly alleges.
At least those are hand assembled, giving some excuse for it not being perfectly as pictured. But a molded piece of chocolate has no such excuse.
i tried to make an arbys look like the picture. it required accordion-folding all the meat on the front one-third of the bun, leaving the rest empty. and it still wasn’t ‘piled high’ enough.
If you watch behind the scenes footage for food ads you’d see people doing the exact same thing you’re doing. Such gussying up should be illegal
