On the surface this might sound silly but after looking at the chocolate it’s straight up false advertisement. They know people will buy it specifically because of the way it looks. It’s bait and switch.
Yeah, this isn’t like a fast food burger that isn’t quite as elegantly stacked as it appears on a tv commercial or something. This is clearly advertising a candy with a jack-o-lantern shaped cutout in the chocolate while selling you something different. It makes for a silly headline that’s perfect for this community, but if she wants to sue them over it I’m gonna side with her on this one.
It’s deceptive and corporations shouldn’t be allowed to get away with crap like this. Because if we let them get away with this little lie they won’t stop there. They will only get bolder and more egregious.
Yup, can’t give them an inch or they’ll take a mile
And shame on business insider to down play it as someone complaining they’re not ‘cute’ enough.
Honestly, I feel her. I opened one of these in my child’s Halloween candy bag and felt misled.
Last time I saw this someone mentioned the football ones. They are basically the same shape as the eggs for Easter, but show the lines on a football in the packaging.
We call those “eggballs” for that reason. Gotta hand it to Hershey for finding a second use for that pattern like that.
look, if they’re charging $4.50, I had better get something better than a turd when I open the package. put a squiggle on it and make it look like a football or whatever.
just sayin’
LET’S FUCKING GO
False advertising bastards let’s bring em down!
I salute her
She should win, it might seem dumb, but she thought of it first
They’re fixing this. Next Halloween these will be known as Reese’s Peanut Butter Blobs.

I missed my chance to sue because I had a Pepsi in the 80-90s and I wasn’t dancing like a maniac afterwards.
Literally White People Problem
Good God. Just imagine this incredibly brave Karen’s mental anguish when she bit into this delicious but uncute treat and could not immediately unload her bottomless rage on the nearest assistant manager.
The horror. The horror.
Why even let massive corporations get away with false advertising? If they show the pumpkin have a face on the cover, they better have a face on the actual thing. You’re just decenticized to being fucked around by corporations that you’re defending them for lying to you.
@stephen01king @TokyoMonsterTrucker desensitized?
Yep, I brain farted on that word there lol
I don’t care if she wins a billion dollars. Hershey’s can go bankrupt tomorrow. I just know what actual problems look like and a fucking candy wrapper ain’t one of them.
The world is allowed to have more than one problem solved at once.
Based on the number of downvotes I’m getting, I’m apparently supposed to empathize with a woman with the time and financial resources to finance a frivolous candy lawsuit instead of reporting it to the FTC .
Here’s a little preview of how badly she will have her ass handed to her in court, and this case arguably does involve harm to consumers: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/04/business/wendys-mcdonalds-false-advertising-lawsuit/index.html
