Frosted Mini-Wheats Class Action Suit

Do you and/or your family eat Frosted Mini-Wheats?

According to the article listed below, Kellogg's, basically, advertised that eating Frosted Mini-Wheats would make your kids smarter. A class action suit was brought and, of course, Kellogg's lost. So they are offering a settlement.

Consumers who bought Frosted Mini-Wheats in the U.S. between January 28, 2008 and October 1, 2009 can be reimbursed $5 per box of the cereal for up to three boxes. Any leftover settlement money will be donated to charity.

So did they use you in the study to prove this?

 

Trolling everywhere you go these days.

 

Nope,, not everywhere..

 

Thanks! I buy that on occasion, and am sure to have bought atleast 3 boxes in that time frame. No receipt of proof of purchase needed, just sign up for the settlement.

:hurray:

 

and we wonder what's wrong with America

 

Yup, this will be a classic case of fraud followed by even more fraud, as far as who really did purchase 3 boxes in that time frame.

 

exactly.

 

That may be... but I really do buy the maple/brown sugar and the strawberry ones. I don't think they ever made me any smarter though

 

Lol,, I certainly wasn't making a reference to you on this.

 

It made me smarter, but I'm pretty sure it was temporary.

I never did like that damn Tony the Tiger anyway.

 

Can I submit a claim individually for everyone in the house, or is it one per address?

 

:cheers:

 

Curiously, it doesn't say.

 

Too bad the limit is 3. Thanks to Amazon, I can prove I bought at least 20 boxes in that time period.

Corporate America is who I am really concerned with.

You should concern yourself more with paranoia, it's a lot closer to your problem.

 

It's monkey see monkey do??? What do you expect?

We see businesses, governments, and individuals using loopholes and seedy tactics to profit every day. Do you expect everyone to just accept the BS treatment and go on, or play the same game?

The corporate crooks are only getting what they deserve. Our business society gave up on ethics & morals in pricing and marketing practices a long time ago. And a sue crazy consumer is what they've reaped from it. They made the bed, and there's cereal crumbs in it.
