And this right here is why people generally have a piss poor opinion of the legal profession. Because this is just dumb.

I never, not once, in all of my existence since I was about maybe 6 or 7 years old thought the McRib was actually a rack of ribs. It's nothing more than chopped processed pork leftovers in the shape of a rib slathered in crappy bbq sauce. I've also, not once in all of my existence, understood the fascination with them because they are absolute crap. Much like the Jack in the Box tacos.

This lawsuit is along the lines of the one a few years back where Lowes or Home Depot or Mccoys or whomever was sued by some idiot because they complained that a 2x4 is not actually 2"x4" and somehow thought they were harmed by that fact.

Sht like this needs to be tossed immediately and the plaintiff lawyer needs to be hammered by the courts for wasting court time and money.

Liberal states are on the lookout for victims. So if this guy claims he was mentally depressed because McRib had no ribs, this is great news for a lib state to make a grand statement.

*Haven't read thread.

McD's has never claimed it contained rib meat.

These are morons and grifters looking for a payday.

I'm still looking for the ham in the hamburger meat. Any lawyers out there to make us rich?

Had a buddy of mine refer to hotdogs ad "lips and ass holes." I feel that way about the McRib and McNuggets.

2.9M in 1994. I am sure I can make at least $50M today.

Let me amend my earlier statement. Today's America is a country for investors, business owners and people who can find a rich entity to sue.

Seeing as how their burgers barely contain beef, I'm not surprised.

Their burgers are 80/20 mix, just like most of us would cook at home.

At least they were in the 90s when I worked there, and I doubt they've changed it.

If you've never read the basis for that suit you actually should. That lawsuit, and the award, was justified and reasonable.

Long story short (and recall this was before cars had a multitude of factory installed cup holders) they had been regularly and routinely flagged for coffee served well above safe temperatures. The cup collapsed when the woman tried to remove the lid to add cream or sugar and she received 3rd degree burns to ~16% of her body around her genitals and thighs requiring multiple skin grafts after the coffee soaked through her clothing.

Hmm didn't know this. I just heard about it when I was at A&M considering it happened a year or so prior. Seems like a good suit.

Can't McDs use the defense that "We weren't calling it the McRib because it is made with rib meat, but rather because it is pressed into the shape of a rack of ribs."?

Not in Ohio. The Ohio Supreme Court released an insane opinion a few years ago which ruled "boneless" is a marketing term and boneless chicken products don't actually have to be boneless. So if you choke on a chicken bone in Ohio while consuming a product labeled as boneless (like the plaintiff in that case), the entity that served you is not liable.

It actually means that you are from Hamburg, Germany. Maybe you can sue that they are being racists or something?

Can I sign on?

Now somebody tell me if the "Two All Beef Patties" is actually just the name of the company that makes the meat discs they put in the burger. I was told that it was in no way a claim of actual meat content but a reference to the company that makes them.

Okay I did five seconds of google research and its probably not true and they in fact do use beef. But I have to wonder since the burgers do not degrade much when left out.

I knew one of the PI lawyers on that case a few years earlier. His then wife was a legal secretary for one of the partners in my firm and we used to party in the 80s.

I've never had one, but I always assumed it was glorified SPAM stamped into the shape of a small rack of ribs, thrown on a bun with some BBQ sauce.

That's an insult to SPAM.

You mean it really is meat? Maybe peckers and lips, but still meat?

Next you'll tell me the 99 cents Arby's wagyu burger is not really Japanese…

McDonald's burgers are actually 100% beef. No fillers. Is it choice ground chuck? No, but it's definitely beef.

Oddly enough, their McNuggets actually don't use mechanically separated chicken either. It's just ground chicken breast meat.

Except when some franchise in Australia decides to throw in a little Kangaroo, am I right?

It is crap but those are two of my favorite fast food crap indulgences, the McRib and Jack & Box's tacos. Neither is ribs or a taco but they are good to me on occasion for some reason.

Just confirmed this with a co-worker who worked at McDonald's while in school.

They used to get boxes labeled "chicken-flavored pork nuggets". When they started advertising "all white-meat nuggets", they switched to actual chicken. Probably the aforementioned chicken lips.

Also, McRibs always come out at a certain time of year. It's when the price of leftover pork parts is at its lowest.

This was actually a pretty nuanced case.

McD knew it was serving coffee that was hot enough to injure people, and too hot to consume, but they chose to keep it that hot anyways in order to keep the coffee fresher / longer.

The situation where someone spills coffee in their lap and gets 2nd or 3rd degree burns was actually contemplated, and McD chose to ignore it.

When coffee should be served at between 150 - 170 degrees, and McD chooses to serve it at 190 degrees ignoring customer safety, maybe you really do have an issue.

I would take it a step further. Loser pays and plaintiff is awarded economic damages. Pain and suffering is capped at 20% of economic loss. Any punitive damages are awarded to state(s) as a cost to the defendent of a nuisance to the general welfare of the state instead of being a lottery for the plaintiff's lawyer.

It's cooler than that.

When the McRib comes out, it increases pork demand across the country enough to move the market.

So, McD buys a bunch of Lean Hog futures or similar instrument in the financial markets, and then announces the McRib is coming back after their buyers lock in the price. The price of pork goes up, they sell the financial position, and use the profits of that swing to buy the cheapest parts of the pig that they can. Pretty funny and fun if you ask me.

like after Thanksgiving and Xmas

Things next on the list:

Hot dogs contain no dog meat.
Grape Nuts contain no grapes, and no nuts.
Bac'n bits usually have no bacon.
French Fries don't come from France
Sweetbreads have no bread.
Egg cream contains no egg or cream
Truffle oils contain no truffles
I have no idea how bologna doesn't have a "Y" somewhere in the name, and don't even get me started on spotted dick.

If I was a defense lawyer for McD, I would use each of these terms as often as possible until the judge slapped me down.
