Reply to comment by alzee76 in Lawsuit claims mini bottles of Fireball Cinnamon don’t actually contain whisky by TheAngryBlackGuy

> it doesn't say whiskey anywhere on the front of the bottle -- as all the whiskey actually does.

fun fact: you're wrong. here's what the canadian version of fireball looks like. yes it's whiskey. no the word isn't anywhere on the battle. yes the canadian version is sold in the US

> you have to be somewhat mentally deficient to believe that Fireball whiskey can be sold in your local gas station

lots of gas stations are in fact legally allowed to sell liquor

> This is the same jackass who .... has filed something like 400 or 500 lawsuits like this. Special seat in hell reserved.

someone who systematically holds companies accountable for misleading marketing is reserved a special seat in hell? weird priorities dude

Oh No! Think of the poor billion dollar conglomerates /s

If it’s frivolous they can prove so in court. Either way they (the company) will be fine, but someone really need to hold them accountable, for their bullshit. After all companies pretty much have same legal rights as people.

Stella Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, P.T.S., Inc. and McDonald's International, Inc. case is a great example of company PR being used to sway public opinion in favor of massive company who couldn’t give less Fs about anything but profit.
