I could have sworn that this was already litigated previously and that McDs won. Clearly not given this situation, but it has certainly been a topic of discussion in the past.
Not to defend a giant corporation but if they do this, they better go after Banquet and all the other frozen food manufacturers that make those fake-ass ribs.
I wonder how many companies that produce boneless chicken wings actually include any wing meat.
I appreciate that there are those that seek to hold companies to truth in advertising and certain standards, but as an adult in her 50’s I’ve never once thought that a McRib would contain rib meat. It’s processed pork that’s shaped like ribs. If anything, that’s more accurate than chunks of chicken breast sold as boneless wings.
I think there is some rule for US grocery store products they have to label them “Wyngz” instead of “Wings”. Restaurants seem to be allowed to call them whatever they want though.
Someone did sue them once, iirc, which is why they are often called Wyngs or some such nonsense. I’m not sure about other products but for some reason as long as it’s one letter off it’s fine?
The irony to me is if you think there are wing meat in that or rib in a McRib, you might not be literate enough to even notice it’s spelled wrong.
Well tenders are breast meat, so I’d certainly hope nobody is mislabeling them as wings. But I guess that’s the point of the entire conversation, because fake boneless wings (or wyngz, or whatever the fuck companies call them to avoid being sued) can contain whatever is cheapest and easiest for the company.
For those as curious as me: The suit is about the fact that the mcrib is rib shaped, yet contains no rib meat.

I’m beginning to wonder if the dino nuggets are actually made with dinosaurs
They’re chicken, aren’t they? Chicken’s a dinosaur.

And I have some doubts about Tyson’s Dino Nuggets…
