Cold Stone Creamery Reportedly Facing Class-Action Lawsuit

Cold Stone Creamery is reportedly facing a class-action lawsuit because their Pistachio Ice Cream is not made with pistachios! Instead, the company uses pistachio flavoring and now they could be in some trouble over the alleged betrayal of trust with the public.

This is the latest example of a fake food discovery. We've talked a lot about weird food concoctions on Dave & Chuck The Freak. However, usually these things just sound disgusting like Sour Patch Kids Oreos. Typically, they don't end in a lawsuit! Here's more on the story.

People noticed that the ingredients for the Pistachio Ice Cream at Cold Stone Creamery was missing a certain ingredient: pistachios. Seems like a pretty necessary ingredient for that specific ice cream. If the label says pistachio there's an unsaid understanding that there should be pistachios in the ice cream, right? That's what people are saying.

Per The Guardian, A woman in Long Island noticed the lack of the ingredient and is now getting ready to start up a class-action lawsuit against Kahala Brands which is the parent company of Cold Stone Creamery.

According to The Guardian, a judge seems to be siding with the woman and lawyers are saying, "Had she known that the product did not contain pistachio, she would not have purchased it, or would have paid significantly less for it." Sure, it makes sense that there's the expectation for it. However, is it necessary to start a class-action lawsuit over? That depends on your perspective. Now, the judge has agreed that it's worth looking into the issue. According to The Guardian, other flavors like mango, coconut, mint, and orange were also questioned for what they contain, the lawsuit will only be moving forward with the pistachio flavor ice cream.

What do you think? Do they have a case?

Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you're on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there's nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.

We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!

I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I've seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald's bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day...we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.

I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I'd say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old "back in my day, we'd walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. "When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!"

After years of research, I've finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you'll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the 'miscellaneous' category. Without further delay, let's get to the list!

Bacon...mayo...crispy lettuce...what's not to love? It's one of the best sandwiches in fast food, and it's on the value menu.

It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

It's actually an impressive size! I mean, have you seen the size of the OG Whopper? It lives up to its name, that's for sure. The Jr. works perfectly fine for me.

It's delicious and it's only a dollar. Remember when value menus used to be dollar menus? *audible sigh* I do. Taco Bell is keeping the tradition alive.

It's a rare treat to enjoy Culver's Cheese Curds. It's a rare treat to enjoy cheese curds, at all. You can get fries anywhere, but you can't get curds at every drive-thru. If I drive by a Culver's I have to stop and get some.
