The SCOTUS decision is quite an interesting one because underneath it lies something troubling., and I am sure the comedy hosts will be on it as some point. What is being dealt with is if a product can be sold at a specific level of quality but not be of that quality and the company be legally safe from any repercussions for selling inferior quality products. So to get this done a nonsensical boneless wings case is pushed forward to set the stage/precedent and then later and possibly on a quieter fashion, other cases would be put forward using the boneless wings as the got to case in order to reduce the quality of other products being sold. For instance a water supplier company could then claim that they should be able to be protected for supplying unfiltered water to areas where they are paid to provided filtered water and their justification being that not all filtered water is expected to be fully filtered therefore the quality of their water products can be lower then what they are paid to provide and be protected by the law to do so. There would then be a slow expanding of other adjacent companies looking to lower the bar for their products and in each of them the end consumer is the one paying the biggest price, as the consumer would still be forking over the money but would no longer be guaranteed the product of a quality comparable to that which they paid for and were expected to receive. So to anyone confused if this is a bad thing for the consumers, it most definitely is a bad turn of events!

Did the Ohio court not wonder why bother putting boneless on the package if there's neither requirement nor expectation (according to the court) that the contents of the package actually be boneless?

[@beenaplumber8379]

Fortunately all of that is federally regulated. I'm not sure what that case was even doing in state court. The FDA regulates most food products sold in stores, but I think the USDA regulates beef, pork, and eggs, but not chicken? (Or is it chicken but not eggs? It's something silly.) Something like that. I also think the USDA regulates restaurants, though state health boards are the primary regulators there. It's all divided up like that, even if I got a few (or most) facts backwards, and I'm sure I did. (Embarrassing from someone with a PhD in nutrition!) It's all federal. And it's the Federal Trade Commission that regulates truth in advertising, so all the important stuff is federal. I don't think we're in imminent danger of this silliness escaping Ohio, nor do I think (just a hunch) the feds will allow their state supreme court's ruling to stand - if it's challenged in federal court, and if the case really comes down to the silliness Stephen described. (C'mon, he gets some license for comic effect. Even if it's a bit slanted, it's still funny! That's what the Meanwhile bits are for!)

The only way that chicken wing case makes sense is if it's a ruling on degree, e.g. you can still market dates as "pitted" even if one date per container still has a pit inside. The only other option is that this case exemplifies the state of art in legal rulings, which SCOTUS has so aptly demonstrated over the past few years.

[@green_arr0w84]

Unfortunately, it's been decades since corporations have had more rights than people.

[@flackstar007]

I believe this to be a manufactured legal precedent, in which other industries and then lower the expectations and get legal protection for products that fail to reach the standard at which they are sold as or are commissioned to deliver to the end consumer. It has an offset in which safety regulations could easily start being crunched one after another and the end consumer find themselves unable to take action for any damages of injuries suffered from being sold a product not of the quality they paid for.

[@Kevin_Underhill]

Based on other news sites, the actual Ohio case involved a bone fragment that was left behind during the 'deboning process'. Much the same that you can still find some small bones in fish that have been deboned, or in my own personal experience a fragment of a fish hook that I cracked a tooth on.

Ohio Supreme Court is protecting businesses from wrongful death lawsuits with that ruling. What did they get in exchange? Free boney nuggets for life? Cash, perhaps? All expenses paid vacation with the mistress? Or were they protecting their own holdings in companies with similar legal exposure?

[@utkarsh2746]

How did no one make the argument that just like "Chicken fingers" present the promise of being shaped like fingers as the end-product or chicken nuggets being shaped like nuggets, similarly "boneless" chicken presents a reasonable expectation that the end-product one is getting might possibly be f-king BONELESS??!!

The boned "boneless" wings makes me worried about the fate of humanity. A lot of things make me worried about the fate of humanity on a daily basis. But a supreme court, making that kind of decision, really gets me worried. Next they'll be saying that your 100% Angus ground beef, can contain rat meat. You know, like when America was "great".

Ohio SC: "People do not expect *'boneless chicken wings'* to really be boneless". ----- ----- ----- Here's a little fun fact for the Ohio SC: *IF* a company advertises and sells to me a product as *"boneless",* I do indeed expect that product to be *"boneless".* Now, this may not be the case with normal, everyday, "boney" chicken wings...but again: it definitely is the case with chicken wings, that are sold to me as *"boneless".* Funny, how expectations work, huh?

[@sarcasticat6979]

Today it's "boneless chicken can have bones," tomorrow it'll be "non-alcoholic drinks can have alcohol" and "allergy-free products can have allergens"

[@davidlundquist1979]

Well actually, non-alcoholic beer does have alcohol. Only about one tenth of what regular beer contains, but it does have some. You'd have to drink gallons of the stuff to get a buzz going, but it's not literally "non-alcoholic".

[@sarcasticat6979]

@@davidlundquist1979 I mean sure, if you want to get technical about it. But that's like saying "Well boneless chicken isn't actually boneless because it has 1% bone fragments ground up with the meat; it's not literally boneless" but at that point it doesn't matter, because for the intended purpose, it's still boneless, just like it's still "no" alcohol. But what's happening with that verdict isn't based on a trace percentage technicality, because that's a risk in any product. What they're talking about is labelling full-bone chicken as "boneless" which is stupid, the same way labelling a standard alcoholic drink as "non-alcoholic" would be stupid.

[@Mozart1220]

At one point, something had to have at least 10% actual fruit juice to be called "Juice". Anything less is called a "drink". I believe now it's at 3%.

The vegetarian line is accurate. My only night in Chicago, all I wanted was a deep dish pizza, and I ordered a margherita, which I'm pretty sure is meant to be the same ingredients no matter where you go. But this one came with pepperoni.

[@johncatty6560]

Fun fact: in Germany, a pizza that comes with "pepperoni" (although spelled "peperoni") would still be considered vegetarian. In English you would refer to it as "chili". However, the pizza would not be advertised as a "margherita".

I'm a Canadian who recently traveled to Toronto for an (epic!) concert. Overall, it was a great experience, and the public transportation was particularly great! HOWEVER. Leaving our hotel one day, I saw that someone had s*it against a wall on the sidewalk from a standing position. 🤢 How about accessible public toilets, safe injection sites, and HOUSING(!) rather than asking people not to shit in public spaces. Show some actual leadership, Doug.
