KFC Sued For $20 Million For Fake Bucket Ad

 A widow is suing Kentucky Fried Chicken because her bucket doesn't appear as overflowing as the advertisement appears to.
  Anna Wurtzburger, of Hopewell Junction, says she bought a $20 bucket of chicken from KFC over the summer and was disappointed to find it looked much different than what’s in the chain’s ads.

  “I came home and said, ‘Where’s the chicken?’ I thought I was going to have a couple of meals,” she told The Post.


  “They say it feeds the whole family … They’re showing a bucket that’s overflowing with chicken,” the 64-year-old widow griped. “You get half a bucket! That’s false advertising, and it doesn’t feed the whole family. They’re small pieces!”

  “If you want the public to look at your chicken, put it in a dish,” she fumed. “It’s a lot of BS. … I expect to get what you’re telling me.”

  Putting her money where her hungry mouth is, Wurtzburger hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit, demanding KFC change its advertising.
  She also returned two gift certificates the company sent her as a mea culpa.

“You know what commercial they should put on? You remember the movie, ‘Oliver’?” she said. “It was about the little boy growing up in the orphanages and he was hungry and he goes to the man, ‘Can I have some more?’ ”

  Retired from the Fishkill Correction Facility, Wurtzburger lives off her Social Security check and said the KFC meal was supposed to be a rare treat.
   KFC called the lawsuit “meritless.”

 This  is not uncommon of any advertising. How many of us have ever unwrapped an Arby's sandwich and found it to resemble the advertised version? 
  The standard must be based on factual representations, not suggestive imagery.  If Arby's says you will get 4 ounces of beef, but only gives you 2 ounces, then you have been wronged. But if they create a poster that makes you think that the 4oz. sandwich is 7 oz. then you have no case.
​  It's time for courts to throw out cases like this and quit trying to be the parents of grown adults.  And it's time for this grandma to get educated on her own dime.
