    So ‘boneless chicken wings’ aren’t really wings, and now they aren’t boneless either… I don’t know if I’d trust the chicken part for much longer.

      Delete if self-promotion is not allowed but I am looking for capital funding for my new startup featuring Ham based boneless chicken wings…all the fun of boneless chicken wings with the added fun of ham. It will be a sensation!

      *not actually looking for funding or a self-promotion…its a joke

      It’s common sense that “Boneless Chicken Wings” are not:

      • Boneless
      • Wings, or
      • Chicken

      Any consumer who believes a business for saying so is responsible for their own failure to understand the meaning of those words.

      Now, let us take a look at “Pesticide-Free Vegetables.”

          Wasn’t meant to be funny. I’m not laughing at the cost cutting measures people take. That is not a judgement on the meat people decide to eat, only awareness over disingenuous marketing

        I’m glad the new owners decided to increase rodent pest control, leading to less food for stray cats to eat in the area.

    What’s the definition of boneless again? Oh yeah, every dictionary can be a reference:

    boneless adjective

    1. Without bones.
    2. Without bones, especially as pertaining to meat or poultry prepared for eating.
    3. Lacking strength, courage, or resolve; spineless.

    The claim that boneless chicken can have bones sounds ridiculous. However, the suit is about whether the restaurant should be liable for its chicken food (which naturally has bones) not being 100% bone free. I think it is a high bar and no restaurant should be held to that level. I do not believe a restaurant should be held negligent and liable for all the medical bills because they did not remove every last piece of bone from the chicken.

      If you can’t be bothered to remove the bones you shouldn’t call it boneless chicken. Words have meaning and that’s more important than some shitty companies profits.

      Yes, this is an important nuance that’s being overlooked, but I do agree with the dissent that there’s enough here for a jury to decide. Classic question of fact as to whether ordinary care was used at the various steps of the process.

    Well you don’t really believe the chicken fingers were made from a chickens finger do you?

    That was actually said in this case.

    Makes sense? You can’t guarantee a bone won’t get through sometimes. Are we supposed to sue when seedless watermelons contain a single seed sometimes?
