A Florida woman....

A Florida woman is suing Kraft for $5 million, saying Velveeta microwave mac and cheese takes longer to make than advertised

The label on a cup of Velvetta's microwaveable mac and cheese says the meal only takes three and a half minutes to prepare. But a Florida woman says this is false – and she’s suing the manufacturer for $5 million. Amanda Ramirez, of Hialeah, has filed a proposed $5 million class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz Foods Company alleging the food producer’s Velveeta Shells & Cheese takes longer than advertised to prepare, court documents show.

The lawsuit claims that the packaging on the microwavable single-serve cups of mac and cheese that says it will be “ready in 3½ minutes,” is “false and misleading.”
The product’s instructions say to microwave the cup for 3½ minutes. But Ramirez’s attorneys argue this number doesn’t account for the other four steps required to prepare the pasta: removing the lid and sauce pouch, adding water, microwaving, and stirring, according to court documents. The additional steps mean it’s impossible for the mac and cheese to be ready in just three and a half minutes, according to the complaint.
Ramirez’s lawyers argue that the company sells the product at “a substantial price premium” while using its “misleading” marketing of “‘ready in 3½ minutes,’ which instantly catches the eye of all reasonable consumers.”
Customers are paying more than they otherwise would because of the three and a half minutes claim, the lawsuit alleges.
Ramirez “is like many consumers who seek to stretch their money as far as possible when buying groceries,” the complaint states. But because of the time claim, she “paid more for the Product than she would have paid and would not have purchased it or paid less had she known the truth.”

Reasonable consumers would not buy and eat this kind of crap food.

She should sue Kraft for even selling this - then she would have my support.

Hope she wasn't planning on wasting any further time eating it.

Indeed, reading that kind of crap really makes me roll my eyes so hard that they spin out of my sockets.

Kind of ashamed to be living on the same rock with people like that, such a waste of oxygen.

Why waste your time playing a lottery with impossible odds when you can try the litigation system to instant wealth.

It shouldn't surprise me if there on the label says
"in a 1000 Watt microwave oven" and this woman have a 6-800 watt

That thought did cross my mind mainly because I've made the same mistake before

Frivolous lawsuit at it's finest. There is a good chance if this makes it to court the court might fine this individual for showing up with this nonsense.

Judges should carry a six shooter and any lawyer who brings such a case before the judge should be shot dead where they stand. The end.
