Sometimes people are so stupid that it's painful.

Two mothers took Nutella makers to court because SHOCK! GASP! Nutella is not a health food. The mothers had blindly believed television commercials and so thought that Nutella was good to feed their kids. They were "shocked" to learn the chocolate spread was actually no different than a candy bar.

When asked why they didn't just read the product label, she said "If I stopped to read every label, I'd probably spend four to five hours in the grocery store". She claims she did it for all consumers, she didn't do it out of greed. HA.

Well, her greed could work out for you. If you bought any Nutella in the last few years, you can get a refund for it. The claim form is here, you can get a refund for up to five jars, no proof of purchase or other paperwork needed, just fill in the online form. You can get back up to 5 jars, $5 each, total of $25.

Because generally "It's shit and is full of sugar" doesn't test well with focus groups.

"Feed this to your kids if you don't care about their health" might not fly so well either.

It seems to work pretty well for Hardees. If you don't know them, they're a burger chain in the South that is basically proudly all, THIS BURGERS ARE NINE MILLION CALORIES AND ALSO WE PUT BUTTER ON THEM.

That good morning burger from the Simpsons? It's like that.

I would say at least they're honest about it, but most of their commercials involve supermodels eating them, so not REALLY, but they do at least not pretend it's healthy.

I think Hardees is Carl's Jr here in the west. I have no idea why a chain would have one name on one coast and one on the other... but I sure did get confused when I couldn't find any Hellman's mayo here in California (Hellman's is Best Food in the west).

Not only are they really high calorie, but they're probably the worst tasting of all the fast food chains. I'm not sure how that works...
