I do enjoy a good false ad lawsuit, as I am sure you know. I will be interested to see whether this one can even survive a motion to dismiss. I would put my money on McDonald's. My assumption is that most Americans who consume a McRib are at this point aware of its mystery meat status, and don't care. I am sure you will be shocked to know that I don't believe I have ever eaten on in my life.
I echo Mr. De Vido's appreciation of the line "Audience in gallery: [Gasps in horror, except my wife, who looks intrigued]"
I am proud to say that I have never had a McRib. While I, like your wife, enjoy the occasional tripe soup, the McRib just doesn't look appealing to me. Your write up all but assures that I never will have a McRib. Tripe belongs in soup, not in a sandwich. Now if McDonald's sold a tongue sandwich...

You probably remember that it was a suit against McDonald's that drove the inclusion of "This hot beverage is hot." messaging on coffee lids. The plaintiff in that case was awarded $2.9 million (apparently later reduced but I can't find a link). From the Wikipedia page about that case, you can read about the 4-year-old girl who claimed (whose parents claimed) she suffered second-degree burns when a Chicken McNugget fell between her leg and the seat belt of the car in which she was traveling (imagine how many second-degree burns could be prevented if Americans didn't consume 64% of their daily diet in moving motor vehicles!). And so on.
Even in Asia āĀ even in Singapore! ā kids today have no idea where their food comes from. On a plastic tray, covered in plastic wrap. Kids in China and Japan (and probably most other places think McDonald's is a local brand. The McDonaldsification of the planet is nearly complete.
Yup, I remember the coffee lawsuit well. I think the woman got screwed in that case, and it became a byword for āfrivolousā lawsuits although I recall she actually had a decent case. Hadnāt hurt about the McNugget one!

I am shocked! (I am not shocked. š) Iād also bet on McDonalds. But as a legal layperson, I appreciate a complaint that entertains me!

Absolutely it became a byword for "frivolous" lawsuits, and it seems she could have used the services of "the Coldplay woman's" PR advisor, hahaha.
