Hey Brigita, it looks like McDonald’s is admitting they screwed up by tricking all you vegetarians and Hindus into eating fries tainted with beef. They’re donating $10 million to “Hindu and other groups” to say they’re sorry. Hmmm, I wonder how you get in on that payout?

corporations should be held accountable for intentionally misleading the public, although $10 mil. seems like a drop in the MacBucket. although i have to admit, their fries taste like crap now. 😉
Hey, not just McD’s – also, Burger King is fessing up. That is pretty bad, dude. Although, it’s nothing next to the Pirate’s Booty Scandal of 2001! (Any Weight Watchers member will know of this, I bet.)
Pirate’s Booty actually gave people big booties, from what I heard.
i was very disappointed to discover that Tony’s frozen cheese pizza wasn’t nearly as tasty as Tony’s frozen pepperoni pizza sans pepperoni.
What in the world are you people talking about?? 🙂
Pirate’s Booty is a snack here, Kris – kind of like Cheese Curls, but super-light. Weight Watchers talks about them, offers coupons in their magazine, etc. – b/c they were a super light snack that was kind of decadent. Then, someone retested the booty against the nutritional info (Good Housekeeping or someone) and found that the info was all wrong – that it was like, 5 or 6 more grams of fat, etc. So, people were OUTRAGED, and this one woman sued. I think she is settling, but I know she’s trying to get a lot out of ’em.
Right after I asked you about it, I saw a thread on Metafilter about it. Huh. Regardless of the fact content… that is a CRAZY name for a food. I don’t think I’d eat it even if it was low-fat. 🙂
