Usually, consumers are mad if things are missing in the product they buy, but this class action lawsuit is about something extra:
We were reminded of that scheming today when we read about what Courthouse News Service reports may be the first federal class action based on concealment of chicken giblets. In the complaint, Perdue Farms is accused of disposing of “an enormous quantity of extra giblet parts” by a “secret practice” of stuffing extra hearts, gizzards and necks into its whole chickens, thereby “dispos(ing) of its extra giblets” and tricking customers into paying the regular per-pound price for them.[...]
But aren’t gizzards the best part? Clearly these people have never tasted a good chicken giblet gravy. Indeed, when reached for comment, Julie DeYoung, a Perdue spokeswoman, told the Law Blog: “While it is company practice not to comment on pending litigation, I can tell you the majority of our giblets complaints are about MISSING giblets. We just received the lawsuit and will review it in more detail, but we anticipate a vigorous defense.”
Some people really have enviable problems!
I didn't mind. My foster brother was learning about the circulatory system at school so I dug out my old university dissection kit and we spent Christmas morning doing a horizontal and a vertical dissection of the hearts.
He got an A in the end of module test!
I explained that keeping rabbits is a nuisance and messy and someone has to clean them out etc. She said "Oh, not a live one. I'd like a dead one so I can take it apart and see how it worked."
Perhaps later in the year...
Just wanted to say that.
I can see the complaint thinking you're paying for white or dark meat and getting a couple ounces of giblets thrown in the mix but I don't understand why they didn't just sell the giblets by themselves if they had extras.
It does make for an interesting role reversal from the medieval period: the "common" people now only eat the choice cuts of meat, and the rich regular dine on organ meats.
Silly people.
Chicken tasted just like chicken.
